    Nah man, if Blake won't help us on the city because hes hurt for playoffs, then Nurk can't either. That's your logic.

    I’m just finishing watching Spurs/Nuggs game 2 which I had missed before during our game. I’m resolved to watching every playoff game this year. Murray was superstar-like in the 4th quarter. Incredible.

    that was Paul Allen. Jody Allen might have a different policy, especially if the Lakers are offering Olshey a boatload of money

    Big time props. Admitting it is the first step. :cheers:

    Seriously, I thought Utah would be more competitive as well.

    Yes, I know but until they give me a reason to believe otherwise I am going to go on the premise that nothing has really changed in terms of operations.

    My "Hot take" last week to some friends in person was that Utah was going to win in 6, why I am not admitting that on here I have no idea heh.
    They just need to win 4 straight and I can say I called it. :)

    Just like our series, it’s not over yet. It always looks bleak and but then the team in the hole ties the series.

    Just heard that no team has ever lost a series when outscoring their opponents over the first two games by as much as the Rockets (and Bucks) have, and that those two pairs of games' scoring margins are both top-10 in NBA history for the first two games of a playoff series.

    But sure, it's still technically possible that the Jazz could make history. I just wouldn't bank on it.

    but again, JA could easily have a different policy; we don't know. So saying if the Lakers were talking to Olshey it is tampering is taking things pretty far out onto what could be incredibly thin ice

    Olshey is an LA guy. He has complained about how hard it is to attract free agents to Portland. The Lakers could be offering the jobs of both President and GM to Olshey and a doubling of his salary for him to just take his dream job. Maybe JA isn't shitty enough to stand in the way of that. All of that is entirely possible

    that said, I doubt it's true

    I think NO would take the Laker job in a heart beat for several reasons. The biggest one is he may not have a job in Portland if the team is sold.
    Having said that I don't think the Lakers will offer it to him.

    Really all sides to this are conjecture and I think we're all aware of that, no problem with that either!
    I just don't really think NO is the type that LAL would go for, maybe if the Blazers make it to the WCF or something this year his name gets more buzz. I'm not sure.

    Several of your posts imply things have changed with ownership. There has been no indication that anything is different with Jody Allen. Once again, I'm going to continue to roll with that until something happens to change my mind.

    Obviously the Olshey haters are hoping he would love to go to LA.

    As a certified NO hater - :) Im not sure, if they make it to the 2nd round and play a great series or make it to the wcf’s without Nurk, I think us NO haters need to hold off another year because he made some legit good moves at the trade deadline this year and personality aside some playoff success was the goal this year.

    I know you can be reasonable sometimes!

    The true Olshey haters can't give him credit for anything.

    I am perfectly willing to give Olshey credit for bringing in Curry, Hood, and Kanter. What I won't do is pretend he is blameless for the payroll mess that means they will walk at the end of the season.
