Mike Rice is NOT a racist. And I am NOT just saying this. This guy is like my crazy old uncle and I have been by his side for almost 14 years now. Know him inside and out. He grew up in Detroit. Look back at his old HS photos and he's one of the few white guys in 'em. He has been surrounded by "other" types of people his whole life. We bullshit and joke around on the daily and I know for a fact he doesn't have a racist bone in his body. Quality dude. And as far as the whole drunk jokes, I throw em out there about him when we are all together and everybody laughs. But I can tell you he isn't. He'll have one Bloody Mary when we go out to dinner and thats about it. Been on Bourbon Street with him many times. That dude is in control when it comes to that. Does he say shit sometimes that makes you say ,"WOW!", yes. But he is not a racist.
Not Jr. He said things like "You know those Europeans" ect I did crack up when Batum dunked on Pau he said: "That's a European poster"
He really deserves this and I'm happy for him but I feel like the first little piece of the All-Chemistry Team just fell off.
I feel the same. Hopefully Stotts will be able to emulate Popovich, who has lost many many assistants, and soldier on with some new blood.
I said something totally racist to myself today without even meaning to. I was working on a Kia and had to transfer a rubber seal from the old bumper to the new bumper I was installing. The seal has all black retainers except for one. This seal could be mild confusing to install as it looks like it could clip on either way but would be technically backwards. At one end of the seal there is a single white clip. This is on the passenger side of the car and the "right" side of the car vs "left" I removed the seal to reinstall later and noted to myself that "white is right" Thank God nobody could hear my thoughts.
Your secret is safe with me. Just consider me like you would a priest. Now do 10 Hail Blazers and burn something piss and purple.
I'll grab my camera. Doing a Hail Blazer is ripping the Faker gear off a Faker fan and burning it before their eyes. @bodyman5000 and 1 has his work cut out for him.
Yes, this is a lucky break, especially for our defense. If Vanterpool and Triano both leave, that will be 2 jobs open paying a half-million per year each. Olshey can find replacements at least as good as them, especially with many former head coaches unemployed. Portland is now a more desirable reputation than when those 2 were hired. Yes, he's gone. Do you want another Buck Williams? The best place for a rookie in the coaching staff is where Hersey Hawkins has dwelled for several years, shagging balls until he develops any coaching talent to get promoted. Which in his case apparently won't happen. Hawkins, a former NBA star, does not have the title or pay of an Assistant Coach. That's the right level for any rookie in our coaching staff. The last time we made the mistake of giving a rookie the title was Buck Williams. Any new Assistant Coach should have years of coaching experience.
Kaman would make the perfect mascot..the Caveman, the Sasquatch..he'd own that job..see Lopez try and tackle him
