    I thought the OP was worthy of discussion. My reasoning for removing Terry is just to infuse change. Getting stale, even with the first round win. I wanna see what Dame can do with someone else running the show and change in strategy.

    Terry is the longest tenured coach after Pop, Spoelstra, and Carlisle. Don't think he's in that tier to warrant this longevity. Also, he'll be a lame duck coach next season if there is no contract extension this summer. It's a good time for change

    Was my lightwork handled by my allies? Yup. It's in the thread (THANKS Y'ALL!!!)

    I just logged in and this MF was already:
    • Admonished by everyone in the thread.
    • Posts were deleted.
    • He was banned.
    I didn't have to lift a finger or even complain. This is ALL apparent in this thread for all to see.

    The TrailBlazers have never been associated with racism or the N word (People are too busy googling Trump's racism).

    Let his post remain and change his word to N*****.

    Remember when he basically said he had the highest BBIQ in the forum?

    He touts is intelligence but doesn't understand how STUPID it is to be blatantly racist in public view.

    This is exactly why I prefer the overt version of racism. It's much more comforting to know my enemy.

    We have a better top 3 and our bench is twice as deep.

    The problem is, Stotts does not trust his bench for whatever reason, and no team ever won a championship without a major contribution from the bench.

    I would add that a coach who doesn't trust his bench by playoff time has let the team down, not the other way around.

    I expect he'll shake it up a bit tonight.

    Why are people so surprised??? I mean really??? :dunno:

    Are we more surprised that he has this worldview??

    -Or-

    Are we more surprised that he would espouse such a worldview in public?

    This is a good thing. Maybe he'll bring in a defensive guy? We're playing the analytics too much there IMO.

    Exactly. Seems to me that if it's his last year on his contract, he would do anything and everything possible to bring us a big win.

    Thank you for re-posting this @SlyPokerDog. Redaction of the word we all know is there is acceptable to me.

    I anticipated this question, its the same one I had. As a white person, I think its always shocking (unless you hang with these type of pieces of shit). Should it be? Nope. But it is. When it rears its ugly head like this, no matter how much we know this is out there, its still shocking. Always. Its always so bad that you don't have words. So while I am not surprised that someone can have this world view, at the same time, yes, its beyond surprising to shocking. I just don't get it, I guess.

    It wasn't just the n word, it was all the other crap. And then when he ended it by saying it didn't want to be a minority wanted to make me bash my head against my desk.

    It is never shocking to me.

    Ever... :dunno:

    It's a "cost of doing business" (being black and living in America).

    I'm not surprised that people have those world views, or that they espouse them in public. It's just gut-wrenching to watch one person treat another person like that... It's not shocking, just sad. Definitely makes me as a white guy sit back and think, I hope I'm on the right side of those problems, and that I'm teaching my kids to not act like that.
