    His moves thus far look pretty solid. After Olshey there wasn't much of a path to winning... (the way Dame wants to, and especially now that Dame is asking out)

    If a Jimmy Butler situation had become an option maybe it would have been possible to thread the needle... maybe it still is...

    But Cronin has been alright.

    teams get stuck in tank mode. It does happen. I'm basing pessimism off bad coaching, a GM that lies to fans, and a local media that pushes bad Blazer basketball as being better then what we watch.

    Pessimistic is a bit different in that theres hope albeit faint, it read like a conclusion. That's all I was saying.

    Wow! The things you learn here.

    I’ve always thought it was the Japanese who attacked Pearl Harbor.

    Germans. Got it.

    Actually I’m pretty sure it was the Russians.

    I'm thinking relatives and Oakland homies and locals who wanted to see Bow Wow perform.

    You honestly think a person that is going to go out on a 100 degree night to listen to Dame rap it’s going to BOO him? Those are diehard fans! 2 of my favorite things in life are hip hop and basketball and damn sure wouldn’t catch me down there. If Clyde will forever be worshipped in this city, you know for a fact Dame will!

    And speculation about possible causality is fine if done respectfully.

    Clyde is forever worshipped in Portland? I'd have never guessed but I understand hip hop fans would turn out. Yeah...I think there are die hard fans who'd boo Dame at a public event right now. I'm guessing that club was air conditioned so being inside would be a relief from the heat bro.

    And if Clyde isn't forever worshipped, you know for a fact that Dame won't be.

    And Clyde isn't.
