    The Blazers half way through the season and in play off contention, Trump/Palin 2016 could happen, and now THIS?!?

    WTF???? Did I fall through some looking glass/vortex/wormhole/time space continuum? I'm starting to feel like the world really is ending!!!! :smiley-195517897341:smiley-195517897341:smiley-195517897341:smiley-195517897341:smiley-195517897341

    Exactly. Plus he can opt-out and I'm sure he's reminding Gilbert of that every step of the way.

    LBJ and his agent have been stumping for Lue since last season.

    Dysfunction Junction is not going to win a 'Ship.

    Just sayin'.

    I hope this karma bites Bron's butt.

    Because it's well-known that the owner is the dumbest NBA owner. What a sorry record of hires, draftees, and quick-fix transactions.

    He uses Comic Sans. Clearly a sociopath.

    It pains me to see how every american feels as if it's ok to throw garbage at David Blatt, he's a pretty good all-around basketball guy.
    I'd hire him in a heartbeat to be assistant coach (future head coach) \ scout\ GM consultant.

    But i'm not too worried, he will get his break sometime and take some underdog team further than anyone would expect.

    That would be a very bad decision for David, that team is a mess.

    So apparently, it is the head coach of the listed team with the best record. So Tyron Lue could be the All-Star game coach after just a few games.

    Gilbert is bad...really bad. But he's not Dolan bad. Dolan may be the worst owner in sports...

    I fucking hate meatloaf with a passion! But this post has to be considered for post of the year early on in 2016.

    So to be clear, we are gonna have Lebron James coaching the east and Luke Walton coaching the wst. That would be by far the youngest pair of coaches ever I would assume...

    That does make you wonder if Steve Kerr is only coming back now so that he can coach the All-Star game. Maybe he has a stipulation in his contract that gives him a bonus for having the best record by mid-season. Or he is just jealous of the attention Luke has gotten. Or it could all just be a coincidence. Interesting timing though.

    ...so should we follow suit, fire Stotts, and hire Muggys Bogues as our new coach
