    job security must be nice. There's not a chance on Earth coach Billups gets canned. Jody would have to pay lotsa money to hire better coaches. That ain't never gonna happen.

    When things look completely out of whack like these last 2 games, is it really Blazer fans faults for being grumpy after blowout losses? I missed the pregame show that discussed how certain players would show ZERO defensive effort, and portray the body language of guys that don't want to be in the game.

    You seem to constantly say, that first round exit team was so much better than what we witnessing now. But sport is about winning Championship and playing happy shooting with no defense wasn't good enough for it. It was pathological team, that wasn't going nowhere and should end right after 4:0 with NewOrleans. No defense effort from leaders was affecting effort from rest of the team. I couldn't watch Stotts letting Dame, CJ and Melo play ISO with no effort in D.
    Grant and Ant are the last kids of this ISO hero ball.
    We will be good hopefully, but it is our first season without Dame and Grant shouldn't be our leader. Let it go:)

    the fanbase backing Chauncey and ownership backing Chauncey are two different things. after a bad loss, fans are going to look to the coach for answers. That’s why they get paid the big bucks.

    of course that's my opinion; and what you write is your opinion. It rains in Oregon by the way

    and, in my opinion, Olshey NEVER tried to build a contender around Dame and I have serious doubts Cronin ever really tried. Blazer management in the Dame era:

    I wouldn’t trade the 2018-19 season for anything. 53 wins, 3 seed, Game 82, Shot vs OKC, 4OT win, game 7 win on road. It came crashing down in Game 3 of WCF but it was still the most fun Blazers fans had since 2000 and probably one of the 10 best seasons ever for us. (Sadly, I know). So no, we shouldn’t have begun rebuild after the Pelicans sweep.

    Jabari wasn't happy about 'ticky tack' calls Dallas got.

    I’ll take best offense and worst defense and first round exits all day everyday over this. Let it go.
