I'm tired of all the Drama

I'm sick of it. You know what? I don't give a shit who the GM is. I don't give a shit about assistant coaches. I don't give a shit about Headhunting Firms, Dime Magazine, or Vulcan, Inc.

I care about the team WINNING GAMES. I care about being entertained by the product on the floor. I care about rooting for players that I care about and succeeding and failing with them.

I guess I long for the non-internet, non-24 hour news cycle where I didn't feel like every small detail about the Blazer organization has to be broken down and explained to me like I'm a three-year-old. I don't HAVE TO KNOW. I care about the games. The entertainment. The passion of being a fan. And right now, in sports-starved Portland, Oregon in the summer, there's not a lot to do but get sucked into the drama. Well, I for one, refuse to do it. It doesn't affect me. As long as the team on the court is one that I can get behind and root for, and not a bunch of unlikable thuggish assholes as in semi-recent past, I'll be fine.

End of rant.

 

End of today's rant, at least. You'll be back. Plus, another poster told me that you were once on a fan board? That seems like trying to get the inside scoop to me.

 

Of course I will. I don't know what gave you the impression that I wouldn't. Pre-season starts in October!

 

I do agree with you, though. The less I knew, the happier I was. Now, I have to defend being happy about consecutive 50-win seasons after 6 years in the wilderness.

 

OK, but how do you really feel?

 

You say you're tired of the drama ... I don't believe you.

 

Wow, that really added to the discussion. Congrats on padding your post count.

 

You mean like you just did?

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You ignorant cluck.

 

Hey Christy, there's another post padding!

What on earth are you going to do?

 

I agree with not enjoying the drama, but this situation with KP, and subsequent fan "drama" is not an exercise of us being bored or over informed. This is an extremely unique situation in my mind. I can't remember ever, in any sport, where a known lame duck GM is to run his teams draft. And said lame duck GM being a lame duck for no real solid reason. And a lame duck GM that took a team that was one of the worst in the NBA to back to back 50 win seasons and back to back playoff appearances in short order. This is an extremely strange situation. And completely worth the volume of discussion it's received, IMO.

 

I can also appreciate being tired of it all, but I have an interest in how the team rolls in management. I like the composition of this team and would not like to see it blown up.

 

Honestly, I don't care who the GM is either.

 

Good Christ, what a sad pathetic person you are. And you claim to be a Christian? Jesus Wept.

 

See? I told you I didn't believe you were tired of all the drama

 

I'm tired of the the drama around the Blazers. Around this message board? SERVE ME UP A DOUBLE SCOOP!

 

How can you guys not care who the GM is? You care about the team, don't you? Well, the GM assembles the team! It makes sense that if you care about one, you would care about the other.

 

You don't care about the GM? That makes no sense.

 

If you care about the team winning, you need to care who the coach and GM are.

Frankly, most of us are sick of this drama - but we neither created it nor have the power to end it.

 

In other cities the owner just changes his staff and the media doesn't care. Normally the fans only care about changes in players and coach. But this is Portland.

Steve Kerr just quit. It has happened probably hundreds of times in all sports at all levels.
