Mike and Mike are OUT? Same with 'Tone.

And for those who want Walton or Snapper, I think both are too old to keep up with the travel schedule.

"BLAZERS WIN, 101-93, SIGNING OFF FROM THE MODA CENTER, HEN-DOG AND ROSCOE. GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY!

 

im sad, but over it. Moving on. Who are the replacements? Let greet them with welcome arms please! I don't want to see the replacements get the cold shoulder because of the M's. They are not the ones responsible, so I sure hope we are kind to them.

 

"No good Clippers!"

 

Tell him it's an open bar!

 

Fuck that shit. Lets boo everyone on opening night not playing on the floor.

I may go to Summer League and hold up a Free Mike and Mike sign. :MARIS61:

 

Schonley, Snapper and Runnin Ann should make the fan base happy

 

I know your joking, but I really hope we don't boo the newbies the way HCP does around here. Seriously. We are looking to try to swing big in FA over the next couple years and we don't want to come off as a "hater" fan base. It will turn these guys off.
We have to take the high road and welcome the new ones with open arms.

 

It's been stated here a couple of times, and it makes total sense that they would target the Seattle audience, from a business sense, no matter what Portland fans think. When the Seahawks started being successful they flooded the Portland market with everything Seahawks, Paul Allen is the common denominator here. Nothing goes on without his approval, and I find it interesting that people aren't as mad at him as they are McGowan.

We get upset that we can't bring in top tier players, but get upset when it seems the team is trying to expand its brand that can change the landscape immensely. A finicky bunch we are.

I really like The Mikes, they have been here for so long that they became as important as the team itself, in a sense. But business is business, and the only constant in the universe is change. Do I agree with how it seems to have been handled? No. But being upset isn't going to change a thing, and I think once the dust settles, and we're able to look at the bigger picture, I think we're going to find that this is all happening for a good reason.

 

Nah, fuck that shit. its how any fan base would react. I hope McGowan addresses the fans on opening night and gets booed off the floor.

 

Schonz was a Seattle guy. He called hockey and baseball games in Seattle for 14 years before he started calling Blazer games. I guess Harry Glickman was also clueless about the pulse of this city, too. Thank god he was.

Nah, The new guys have nothing to do with this and should not be booed. At all.

Read Red Rooster above. He is spot on. Just have to look at it with as wide angle lens and see the big picture.

 

Sad, but true.

BNM

 

Nah bro. Shit is gonna be mad boring for games.

 

But how can you say that when you dont know who the replacements are yet. Many in town I have already heard said that Barrett was too bland. The one guy that people are the most mad about is also considered the most bland when people are critics of him.

Just saying its not wise to judge without knowing the result.

 

Because I'm a dick?

They have to prove themselves, I'm not giving them any chance or leeway.
