Most people in Portland wouldn't think that. Maybe some pundits like Stephen A. But not most Blazer fans. We could see the emotion in his final interview. With that said, you have to admit the play to get Kidd was a new look for him.
What exactly did Lillard say about Kidd? I don't think I've actually heard words directly from him. It's only been "sources said."
No, I see haynes has bounced around from place to place for years now and is now desperate to keep his job with yahoo.
In case there's any confusion, Dame is my favorite player of all time. I want him to stay and I want it to work out. I want to get him a chip. I'm just concerned by some of the things that have happened so far this offseason.
I knew this would get a reaction out of you. But clearly from the reports it seems like the Blazers do and have had a better option in mind for quite awhile now. We will see.
I actually quite like Stotts as an assistant. He's good at a lot of the coaching skills not related to the actual X's and O's.
They can't have the same reason's as us because Carlisle got them a chip and we didn't like Stotts because he had never done anything significant with our team. Now, if they don't want Carlisle to stay because he hasn't got them out of the first round since their title a decade ago... that's a valid reason but a very different reason than ours.
This is the first season I don’t place the blame on NO, he went out and got players that were proven and were supposed to fill our defensive woes. Those pieces didn’t fit perfectly, but that’s why you have a coach. I think he did a good job getting the pieces, we had more talent than Denver and there is no one who can convince me otherwise. I dont understand how somebody watched the Blazers this season and didnt recognize the bad coaching. Its crazy. The defense was so fucking awful and it came to a point where my excitement for the Blazers was completely zero. We had some good defenders in Covington, Jones, Nurkic and Trent was above average. Stotts completely ruined this Season. The schemes and gameplan was always so horrendously bad. The roster Neil has assembled now should be able to compete with a good coach. I feel confident saying that
Every season that Olshey says that Dame and CJ are the one two combo that is the foundation for a championship... I put it on him. Also, just because Olshey puts talent on the court, doesn't mean that the talent fits together. Not to harp on it but every time he puts Dame and CJ together he will get less than the some of their parts because their redundancies of being bad on D and needing the ball to be their most effective on O.
Very well could be the case. This two part transaction is only wise if you nail them both. We'll be fine either way though.
Hasn't gotten out of first round since their championship. Been the the playoffs 6 of last ten years and bounced form rd 1 each time. Nothing more than an average coach, like most are.
