Give us the details on what he's right about. As I'm curious. I appreciate those who take one for the team so the rest of us don't have to endure his garbage.
Some of it is true. There is no doubt in my mind that the Blazers are a dysfunctional organization for example.
Come on maaaaaaan.... this is EXACTLY the kind of situational feel-good crap that he always writes. That's great. I'm glad that Durant and Curry are stand up guys. I find it absurd to somehow circle back around and connect that to our team being a poor culture. Did Lillard put up shots for an hour and then flip the ball boy the finger? Did CJ go to shake the usher's hands and then punk them?
He's right in that the top of the organization isn't very fan friendly. Or employee friendly. A culture change would not be the worst thing
This isn't just Blazer related. This is sports related. Pro sports is being run like a corporation now.... not a community past time. Not a symbol of a city. The NFL is a PERFECT example of that. Nobody gives a shit what the fans want. And I'm pretty sure that I was saying a year or two ago that the team is distancing itself from Portland. Trying to become inclusive for the entire NW. That's why they fired the Mikes. Portland is small potatoes when you factor in all of Oregon, Washington, etc. I can't blame them for wanting more money........ but it sucks for us.
I don't mind reading Canzano's critical pieces to ground myself from an alternate perspective sometimes. Occasionally, his articles spotlight uncomfortable truths that need to be expressed, although he sensationalizes to maximize readers/ad clicks, which I understand is part of the business. That being said, he released that article when the corpse of the season wasn't even cold. Getting swept by a team that arguably may be the best put together in the last 10-15 years isn't a shame, especially since this year's squad was generally a disappointment until the very end. There will be plenty of time to dissect what went wrong with this past year's team and how to fix it, but too soon, bro, too soon.
I got through about 10 reader comments and had to click the screen off. I just don't get how some people swing from Clownzano's nuts. I'm guessing misery loves company and his self loathing is palpable/contagious...
Please re-locate to the bay area! Please re-locate to the bay area! Please re-locate to the bay area! They will love the bald faced asshole down there.
Won't read it. He blocked me on Twitter a couple years ago. Then, a couple nights ago, I discovered he un-blocked me. So I blocked him.
