Weren’t you one of the people saying the Mavs job is better? Also, everything you just listed is a point against your hypothesis that “it’s not just a Portland thing.” As if it weren’t “just a Portland thing”… all the reasons you listed would be why he wouldn’t even be able to sniff the word Dallas on a keyboard.
Fucking joke. Olshey- “we need more defense” also Olshey- “let’s hire a 70 year old retread who’s teams don’t play defense still Olshey- “the fans here are rubes and will think making it to the second round is competing for a title
what are you going on about again? I'm just saying Jason Kidd is a horrible coach and Mark Cuban is a dumbass who just undid any of the contrition he faked in the aftermath of their front office scandal. Their fans on every forum are pissed.
Simple. Because they haven't completed "the process". Maybe the Blazers not wanting to waste Dame's last best years by not hiring the best coach for Dame's team is a good thing.
patience, grasshopper. lol let's see how all this shakes out. Dame's guy has been subtly suggesting MDA all season on twitter.
Do you know how to read? You said “it’s not just a Portland thing.” I said, “ok, show me where Kidd is forced to withdraw candidacy because of the backlash.” Which would signify its “not just a Portland thing.” You responded with “no but the optics, everything they’ve done this off season has been a disaster.” So you conceded that he wasn’t forced to withdraw, while giving a bunch of reasons he plausibly should be forced to withdraw and/or never be considered in the first place. Which again, goes against your hypothesis that “it’s not just a Portland thing.” or else he would’ve never be considered. Then I brought up the fact that you trashed the Mavs organization and was curious if you were one of the people saying the “Mavs” because of Doncic is a better job than Portland… once again, while trashing the organization, the owner, and every move they’ve made thus far this offseason. Hope that clears it up for you: seems pretty straightforward but you, for some reason, don’t want to admit that Portland is different than many cities. Which - by the way - isn’t a bad thing. So not sure why your trying to die on this hill.
clearly not. not sure we can deduce the same from you as well. I pointed to those Mavs forum pieces to show that the backlash towards a potential Kidd hire is not unique to Portland. The fact that dumbass Mark Cuban ignores all the optics doesn't remove the fact that nearly everyone in Dallas hates the hire. What do you not understand about this? Follow the logic. Also, wtf is happening to this place? The snark, the disrespectful comments are not warranted. Newbies ruining the community.
NBA- We would like to see more minorities get a shot at coaching. Blazers- Mike D’Ontplaydefense, come on down
You should see how many people I have on ignore at this point. I imagine if I didn't have them on ignore this place would be much less enjoyable. I have quite a few...... fans?..... who like to constantly shit on my posts.
Apparently Dan & Toni have a decent plan for the defense Billups has a decent plan for a lead assistant Heard nothing about Hammons There is still another
i don't mind the counter points, but there's a level of respect people used to have here. now it's all just snark and condescension when people can't get their point across in a cogent manner. whatever it is, the level of discourse has gone down a tank. maybe it's just a few posters, or maybe i'm just out-growing this place. or maybe everyone's just frustrated with the direction of the team without hope. i dunno. oh well.
is the "other" someone we/nba twitter have discussed here before (barry/staley), or completely out of left field? there's a few assistants that i'm particularly interested in that haven't been mentioned before. one of em has a linked in profile lol https://www.linkedin.com/in/willie-green-67310882
I would lean towards it being the current status of the team. There was quite a bit of name calling and toxicity leading up towards LMA leaving. The people who predicted he would leave got a lot of heat from the people who thought there was no way in hell that he would leave. The team was at a turning point that summer and we're now at another crossroads. That seems to bring out the worst in people.
this is 100% accurate. It use to be a nice environment with just Mixum stirring the pot. Seems like there are more mixums now than respectful posters
