"Failure to launch" Dave at B-edge takes a look at current events

There's probably nothing in this piece that many of us haven't thought ourselves, but he does a nice job of succinctly capturing most of the variables and factors at play with the team's overall level of play, the continuing injuries and mainly the impact that Roy's injury might have on the future.

Enjoy (I guess?)

 

Still reading but I had to pause at this part

Bingo...bingo...bingo. I've said this exact thing numerous times.

 

Basketball purgatory.

 

You go to reddit.

problem?

 

I don't really understand this part of the piece (cutting together just what I find important to what I don't understand, I don't think what I'm leaving out changes the content):

Isn't this supposed to be a "definitive era" because of those two guys (Roy and Oden)? If so, how does waiting on them waste those years? Either those two will be stars/superstars, giving Portland its "definitive era" and not making it a waste to wait on them, or else they'll prove to be duds...in which case there never was any "definitive era" to waste.

What am I missing from his reasoning?

 

If we don't win a Championship before the new CBA, the NBA is gone and therefore we lose our chance

 

TL; DR

Does he mention Mike Krzyzewski assistant coach at all?

Still can wait for this guy to explode on the set and lead one of his teams to the 2nd round of the playoffs for the second time in 11 years.

Is that you Hall of Fame?

 

Didn't want to start a new thread on this because it's so laughable and unbelievable, but...
the idiot Sam Smith says:

LMAO!

 

well you can speculate it was to get paul or carmelo...

and thats why we signed wesley

 

I actually wouldn't be surprised if they did try before the news came out that he's injured.

 

Dave is full of shit.

I own a Blazersedge T-shirt I won a few years back and for this season and last it says "What's your ring size". Dave is just like every other media person, self aggrandizing, and then morally speaking of humility when he stoked the fires he condemns. His memory reminds me of people who go to the polls and vote for one of the two main parties, SELECTIVE MEMORY FOR THE LOSS!

What a bunch of Bullshit.

 

The only difference between Dave and anyone else on here (short of Mixum) is that he writes a blog rather than posting short missives on a board. He's a fan who has been predicting glory just like everyone else. To claim otherwise now is laughable.

 

I like reading the blazersedge interviews that they post at the end of home games.

The pieces Dave writes are pretty hit or miss.

This one was a miss.

 

So, if we do win the Championship before the new CBA would this be considered an "asterick" season like the Spurs in 1999?
