    And to be honest I think it will be fun to watch. I wanna see McCollum and Leonard surprise everyone this year. Also with a young squad, they're playing time has increased and their game will improve. I'm excited.

    I'm jaded, so as with all my posts, take this with a grain of salt. Every fucking year it's the same damn article with different names inserted.

    The Portland media and team media are complete garbage.

    I think Casey does a great job. I rank him right behind Kerry Eggers for Blazer coverage.

    Instead of complaining about the writers you don't like why not post some links to Blazer coverage and articles that you do like. I know a lot of us would really appreciate it.

    Because he assumes we would immediately discount the writer's credibility for having the audacity to write something unpleasant about our beloved team, and subsequently belittle MM for having the temerity to post it in this den of homerism?

    Just guessing...

    People post lots of unpleasant things about the team including articles.

    If you're scared, buy a dog. If you are a dog, then...buy a bigger dog?

    Other people already do that. You are great at it. It's just this piece on leadership we get every year and so and so stepping up.

    National articles are great, but the forum poo poos them immediately if they aren't unicorns and rainbows about the team.

    I LOVED Quicks behind the locker room door stuff he did a few years back.

    After looking up temerity, he's not completely wrong

    You should update your narrative.

    Liked everything in this post except for the bolded. Quick is a goddamn liar to me and always injects himself into the "story".

    I don't like it when writers say nice things about the Blazers, I like it when writers say the Blazers suck. Because I am a huge Blazer fan.

    That makes sense right?
