    We have historically one of the worst defenses ever. We feel bad for Dame sorry if we can see the way we win isn’t sustainable whatsover

    nice try....not what I said....I said habitual non support makes no sense to me...and I don't know what you have against blind people but I'm a fan who can criticize things about games and cheer...yet not a fan who needs to bitch my way through a game....I don't care what your opinions are....never said I did but I have opinions about the negative affirmation junkies game after game who keep the same crap going ....haters gonna hate...I'm a fan of Stotts...wasn't a fan of Mo Cheeks at all....being a fan of his I've been told I have zero basketball knowledge or credibility right here on this forum...that's fair but questioning the fandom of people who have never been happy over 9 years is off limits? They can be unhappy ...I questioned ...why? What's the point? Is it because you liked the Drexler Blazers once? Is it because you live in Portland?....doesn't matter to me but I'm more bored with that than I am with Stotts game plans. You call me a homer...I'll probably call you a fair weather fan.....

    I think people can enjoy the win and see that it's not sustainable.

    People can see Terry is being carried by Dame and that Dames heroics year after year is the only reason Terry has a job. At all. Terry is a sub par coach.

    We can love Dame more than any other Blazer ever (which is at least the case for me) and understand that he also has kept a sub par coach with a job he should have been fired from years ago.

    These are facts at this point, not opinion. If Dame missed more than 3 weeks in a year we would lose a majority of our games and Terry's God awful coaching would be magnified. Again, this is a fact.

    You can love a team and see their flaws. If you think we have to blindly cheer for the team because Dame saved Terry's job AGAIN, I am going to disagree 100%.

    I bag on @AldoTrapani all the time because of his repetitious style of posting, even if his content (sans trading Dame of course) has some merit to it.

    There are major issues with this team. The coach, the gm.

    This doesn't negate the fact we are watching the greatest Blazer of all time, though. But these are also hard truths.

    That's not what you said.

    How so many people can dislike and bash the guy for just under a decade and still call themselves "Blazer" fans is beyond me.

    If I tell you, how can you call yourself a fan of this team, that means you're questioning that person's fandom because of their opinion. If I turn it back on you and say, how can you call yourself a fan of this team and happily watch this front office crap all over it?

    wut?

    you said:

    that sure looks like questioning the 'credentials' of other Blazer fans to me, while holding your own standards of fandom as the purest

    and I really doubt that all of the Stotts critics started being 'fire-Stotts' level critics in his first or 2nd season. It's been an expanding chorus over the years as the flaws in his coaching philosophies have not only become apparent, but also show no signs of being corrected

    lol...ok I'll play

    when there is only one restaurant between Redding & Bellingham, and between Coos Bay and Salt Lake City, there isn't much of an option to dine out

    but again, that is just another example of you trashing the purity of Blazer fans who don't share your opinions

    I mean, the same logic you're using says you should find another forum of like-minded Blazer fans instead of dealing with all the critics here

    The only “good” coach Portland is ever going to have is the next coach who takes us to a championship, whenever/if ever that might be. And that is one of your “hard truths”. Every year 29 NBA teams end the season in disappointment. Another hard truth. I guess every year there are 29 shitty coaches, eh? I guess that would be a hard truth also. And which one of those “losers” would you hire for Portland? I want to see Portland win a ring as much as the next fan but I am well aware that we get to watch one of the best players in league history play for our city and state while providing us with feats that most NBA players can only dream of. Championships last for a year and then they’re done. Dame lasts a lifetime. Or at least for mine.......some of you guys would bitch if you were hung with a new rope......

    Trust me, Riverman.....You don't need this place....I don't post here anymore, and guess what? I am just as informed on whats going on, and the games have been even more enjoyable, as I can depend on my own logical views, and not have to share them with posters, who for the most part, speak emotionally, not intellectually.
    Want to know how to enjoy this place Riverman?..Want to find the humor again?..Wait till after the game is over, then go through the game threads....There just isn't enough crow to go around!!! (Aldo, whatever your handle is.....You're a complete and total joke....always disappears when things are good..??)
