watch the replay...poor exectution down the stretch...ever see Meyers brick two free throws in a row? Our team shot 50% from the line...we lost by one point...I'm just the messenger...the cop out was the end game
I lost in when the Blazers inbounded from a time out, then ran a play to set up Evan Fucking Turner for a long three. Evan Turner. Not even from the corner. A 45 degree angle from the longest part of the arc. Evan Fucking Turner. That's when I said fire the coach now haha. Oh, yeah. He missed.
Disgusting. Remember how many more threes our coach forced Turner to put up last year? Truly unbelievable stuff that an NBA coach can actually ask a horrid three point shooter like Turner to keep putting them up. The horror.
Well the refs got us last night. That's indisputable. We outrebounded them by 9, yet shot 9 less free throws than they did. They were not calling the same fouls on both ends of the court.
But what did he ask for and how do we know Olshey hasn't gotten him what he's wanted since the time of the meeting?
Yes. Those refs wanted the Mavs to win for sure. My guess is all 3 have an invention they need funding, and all hate homeless people who drink coffee
He wanted to be assured as to the direction of the franchise. It doesn't take rocket science that he wanted a more competitive roster because Lillard wants to compete for a championship. That would mean making moves. Its almost pathetic that the team core hasn't changed much. Straight up, Neil Olshey isn't making moves to make this a championship team. Ain't no doubt about that. He's making moves so they are right in that sweet middle spot. If he asked Olshey to make minor changes to the squad so the team team would get embarrassed in the playoffs, then I guess he would have gotten what he asked for.
Not taking sides but it's entirely possible that what came of the meeting was that Allen would go All-In if an opportunity presented itself before 2020 and if not he would give Olshey the authority to do whatever it took that summer. This would explain why Jody was willing to take on an "astronomical salary" at the deadline. Even if Dame wanted a big change that would likely be at the expense of CJ and I doubt he would go to the owner to trade his friend. My best guess is that Allen told Dame he was avoiding the tax until a big move was available.
