As a Blazer fan, and as a long-time season ticket holder, I want to congratulate and thank the the Trailblazer organization for all of the great changes this year. Of course the team is great, but just as good almost, is that they are fun to watch. So thanks to Neil Olshay and Terry Stotts for putting such an enjoyable product on the floor. Also, the change in the training staff seems to be a much needed improvement. Also, the arena experience is much better - the wifi works, the food choices are much better, and it's not so freakin loud in there this year. Great job, Chris McGowan. And finally, good an bad alike starts from the top. Well done Paul Allen for some great hires. All in all, these are some really positive changes. Thank you.
Yep, quality people doing quality work. Everybody from the top of the organization to the coaches and players doing a great job, and doing it with class. BNM
Shout out to all the fans who appreciate what the organization has accomplished this year! Incredible if you tally it all up. I've been a lifelong fan and I think I really can call this my favorite Blazer squad top to bottom! Well done! Now I'm going to ask the hard question. Stevenson, how much did McGowan pay you to start this thread?
It's noticible. Even when they were winning the promotional segments were horrible. Remember that lame jazzy intro back in the 90s? hoop fam
I don't know if this is the homer in me, but there really isn't a team I fear right now. Yes we've lost games, but usually it's because we lost them, not the other team beating us. In fact the only team I thought really beat us was Dallas, which we had a shot to win.
I'm excited to see the changes at some point. To HCP: Yeah, I was complaining to the team about wifi/reception during the playoff years. I imagined that all stadium food was roughly the same, but I would've sent in a letter if the food was as good as people are saying the new stuff is. As for the music choices, I liked the things that got the crowd into it during timeouts (like "shout"), but I wrote in about the canned "De-fense" over the Loudspeakers.
The Wifi is a HUGE improvement! Nothing more frustrating as a STH to not be able to get scores of other games or even a text message from home when you attend 40 plus games a year. The food upgrade is nice, but the Wifi is the one single improvement I had been hoping for!
