    I'm with ya on this. Don't really care if they lose some games. Just don't try to lose games again.

    Blazers President Dewayne Hankins recalled Allen putting an end to the mounting questions during a Zoom call in early September: “We really need to move on. We’ve got great young talent. We’re not like other rebuilding teams who don’t have a strong core of young players. It’s time to turn the page.”

    Those marching orders led the Blazers to ditch Plan B and remove Lillard entirely from their promotional materials in favor of Henderson, guard Anfernee Simons and other members of their young core. Inside the organization, the transition had begun. Meanwhile, the fan base was coming to terms with Lillard’s probable exit, and season ticket holders renewed at a 93 percent rate, up six percentage points from the previous season.

    “A lot of people are doubting us because we’re young,” Henderson said. “We’re the underdogs in most cases, but we’ve got some real dogs.”

    To be fair, all underdogs are by definition dogs.

    No sir, that's not how it works, if it was, Prairie dogs would by definition also be dogs.
