    Yup. Announced on Friday afternoon and Dame was the only one for fans to really focus their rage at.

    I don’t think Billups will be the coach. I just can’t imagine it now. What a shame.

    This seems odd to me. Why are the other horrible things you mentioned actual things, but the sexual assault was alleged.

    “Alleged” doesn’t mean shit to me.
    Innocent until proven guilty.
    Now a PROVEN rapist / sexist / racist etc is a different story in which I agree with you.
    But alleged?? Come on.
    Bro I allege you’re a racist for not having an issue with Jody Allen, but having an issue with Chauncey Billups.
    Ahhh you’re alleged racist. Hope your job fires you now.
    See how that goes?

    I think we should all catch our breath, go for a long walk and have a good stiff chocolate.

    I agree with you about half the time, and I like joking around with you, but this is how I feel and a great point.

    How do allegations equate the same as being a proven piece of shit?

    All Olshey and the Blazers would have had to do was release a tweet after Woj's that said some BS like...

    While we have completed the interview process with multiple candidates, we are still reviewing things and are still discussing things within the organization. A decision will be made next week and a press conference has been scheduled for Tuesday. ​

    We see BS like that all the time.

    Self-employed. Your logic rivals that of Socrates. Note to all: do not engage this guy in a battle of wits.

    When a crowd gets worked up into a frenzy? they want action, right or wrong. Takes on a ugly synergy...

    If they drop Billups tomorrow and hire Hammonds, how long do you think it will be before the Canzoites and twitter twats come for her?

    Once a witch hunt starts, you always have to find more witches to feed the fire. You have to keep changing the definition and lowering the threshold. Otherwise, the mob might turn on you.

    Completely agree.
    But I don’t agree with the stance that him being interviewed was “screwing the pooch” from the jump.

    It seems like Neil had a small group of candidates. When that group was announced not a PEEP about Billups. He’s been floated as a candidate for NBA jobs for a couple years and has been offered a front office position, and of course is currently a Clipper. Neil interviewed everyone and got Lillard involved which everyone wanted.

    then people got suddenly pissed off and Neil bungled the search? Hate him for 2016 or CJ or his attitude but wtf was wrong with the search?
