    Issac and Suke are the best, it's not even close. They are very good at what they do.

    Every team does that... they think negative things will get people to not become fans.

    But the weird part of that is, if you're realistic when you're a fan, you're going to say negative shit anyway, so it doesn't really matter but you may have gotten a couple hundred out of them during that time they tried to manage how you thought. lol.

    It's why I like Issac and Suke - they will get on the team if they fucking suck and deserve it.

    Neil is a bitch. this has been known.

    Not surprised he's acting sensitive as fuck after destroying this roster.

    Don't care how Neil treats anyone except the players and his head coach. They are the only ones that matter.

    That being said, he better pick his game up because he hasn't really done anything in a year and a half to improve this roster. The trade deadline/summer should be make or break for his job in Portland.

    Awhile back, reading the Fire Olshey thread, I was stacking together his good vs bad. I'd never put much critical thought into it, probably because he's a natural salesman and sells everything he does as the best he could do given his situation. He's always portrayed himself a little bit the martyr in that respect. "Best I could do given our draft position or our cap situation or our appeal to free agents or given our injuries or given the mandate handed down by Paul." I guess I've been a tacit and compliant fan, because I generally thought he has been doing well. Or maybe he just took advantage of my growing apathy toward the team.

    In a way, he's helped push the perception we should lower our expectations and be grateful for what little we do have. Maybe that's his biggest win as a GM? Because it's kept him employed this long. I'm not sure what his next biggest win would be? It's easy to say drafting Lillard and CJ, but the Blazers were going to draft Lillard regardless if Olshey was hired, so I can't give him too much credit there. CJ has been a terrific story, but.....he also passed on some maybe superior players in choosing CJ. On the flip side, he's made some very BIG mistakes, the most egregious in letting his best player go for nothing. That's fireable in itself.

    But staying on topic, I think the Gestapo approach to running an organization is only tolerable if they're winning and putting out a good product. So, how is he getting away with it?

    How many championships has this got him? How many wins has this got him this year? Not getting sassy with you, just want you to think about it.

    With that said, if he believes that much in this collection of talent. Enough to make them a top three payroll in the league, maybe he ought to coach them.

    He's getting away with it because Paul buys into his hot air. But Paul is kind of flaky like that.

    Isaac and Suke are fucking terrible. Just fucking awful. Some of the worst commentators in the nation without a doubt. Isaac was a terrible host on that CSN postgame show THATS why he got fired he constantly looked and sounded like he had a stick shoved up his ass. None of this controlling content nonsense youre trying to push.

    LMAO! Humm, do you work for the Blazers??? Just wondering....

    http://www.sportstwo.com/threads/portland-regional-sports-blazers-radio-stations.302818/

    Obviously, I'm not the only one that likes their show, AND, I have NEVER tried to "push" my ideas on someone else. I watched the show today, and commented on what I saw/heard. I have liked Isaac for a LONG time. You have your opinion, and even if it is different from mine, I can respect that. Don't try to make it sound like I have some agenda against the team.....

    I don't think that's true. I hear MB's voice on commercials all the time. Bi-Mart, a pizza place (Belagios??), etc.

    In my opinion, Suke and Ropp are the best local sports show in PDX.

    Sounds Trumpian - "fall in line", certain narrative/alternative facts (lies), grudges, not being allowed to have a differing opinion.

    FWIW, the Blazers personnel that I've dealt with have been supportive, 100%, of people on this site being able to post whatever they want about the Blazers, good or bad. Their attitude is that they want to learn from the bad and work to change for the better.

    I like NO's moves because I like NO's moves. I like NO because I've seen how very good he is compared to other GMs - especially the ones in Chicago.

    There's nothing more to be read into my posts.

    Also, if there's anything I don't like about NO, it's that he's not very accessible. With other GMs, we've been able to have meet & greets, but not with NO.

    Maybe he'd agree to a meet & greet if you offer to park his car for him.
