    Or marry him? Here is a better thought. What is Neil Olshey's wife's first name. Does it start with an N?

    I find this team entertaining and enjoyable to watch. I don't know what some of you expect, but I have watched a lot more NBA games outside of the Blazers this year and I see some great play at times and I see some horrible play at times from top teams. Pretty much the same as the Blazers.

    agree, but imo there should be more bb discussion about the team, league, players, trades, rotations, match ups, etc. and less banging on the Neil and Stott's as we all know the consensus of the forum with regards to them.
    Im glad this team is in the thick of it at this point and maybe some changes are on the horizon?

    Some of the longest threads in here are trade proposals, and the monthly threads talking about the NBA. Theres a handful of fire “whoever” but I dont think its as bad as it seems.

    And just say Dame is great once and CJ dribbles a lot and be done with it!

    Not to be ironic, but there's a Meltdown Thread for stuff like this...

    Maybe not but I think its been determine by majority in the forum that both Neil and Stotts are goners sooner or later?

    This is opposed to him being with someone who sucks for theirs.

    I’m so sorry man, I don’t get in on this joke often but sometimes I can’t help it.

    It's all in the ey of the beholder and it's not that good. I think threads that have sat idle for a period of time should be locked so as not to continually bring back old worthless threads that likely get derailed again once they are brought back to life. I have never seen a forum drift off topic so easily in almost every thread.

    But how is the team really different from the past three years? It's pretty much the same offense, the same story lines, etc. Dame carrying, CJ being inconsistent, etc. We are 7th in the west. Not good enough to really compete. It's stale.

    7th in the west and 3.5 games out of first and 1/2 game from being a 4th seed. So you would be ok with a change even if it made us worse? Cause that's a possibility as well.

    I would be okay if we made a change that made us worse in the short term, but better in the long term. Or a change that made us better in the short term but not as good in the long term. I'm just tired of finishing middle of the pack and getting ousted in the first round.

    Unless you have a crystal ball, it could make us worst in the short term and long term. I;m not saying we shouldn't be looking for deals but with what I have read by posters in here many want a complete overhaul. I doubt Lillard would be interested sticking around for that.

    A complete overhaul might be necessary. I really don't know. Dame is great, and I really like Nurk, but the rest of the team is just mediocre. CJ should have been what we all expected him to be from the start...... a spark plug off the bench. He should have been Jamal Crawford, but we have been trying to make him into a starting two guard for the past 4 years and he's predictably inconsistent.

    I agree whole heartedly - but some people are paralyzed by fear of change. It's not like Stotts and Olshey haven't been given a fair chance. How many coaches and GMs have been replaced since they were hired?

    It's like I always say, "Get down or get out!"
