    Remember the last time the Blazers were gelling and they had a really good team but also had a Player that was dealing with injuries and was less able to carry a team?
    They lost in the first round to the eventual Champions and the team that beat them all said their toughest series was the Blazers.

    Yep that team was the Mavericks. Stotts got his Championship ring that year.

    Jason Quick was there to stir the pot the entire way. This guy knows how to get clicks. He knows what to write to make things choppy around the Blazers.

    Too bad a bunch of Blazer fans read his material still.

    You have to admit the competition was weak. That game didn't garner the interest.

    the 430 pacific start also contributes to that.

    i'm moving back to Oregon after mor than a decade in the midwest/east coast this month. Not gonna lie, I'm thrilled about being able to get more sleep after home games.

    The story was not by Quick. It was by Shams who is as good as Woj.

    Yup big bro. Ppl just ready for a new era. This team needs a big makeover starting with a coaching change. Then perhaps trading CJ and Nurk.

    So many things wrong with this post.

    Different teams.

    Different writer.

    Stotts is a far inferior coach.

    Correlation does not equal causation.

    I’m moving from Oregon to Texas next week. Not thrilled. If I were you I’d be happy I can drink fresh clean water from the faucet. Or maybe you already can... but not me in Texas.

    The story was originally a Jason Quick smear on the Athletic. Other writers and connections have run with it.
    Everyone one of them have a "Disclaimer" such as "Needs to finish strong" or " Unless something good happens".
    Prove me wrong.

    Prove me wrong seriously!

    So it wasn't the Blazers and the Mavs? What teams are we talking about?
    So it wasn't Jason Quick writing drama about Roy and his position on the team? What writer are we talking about?
    So you think Nate is a "Far Inferior" coach? Than Rick Carlisle or Stotts? Which coach are we talking about?

    Correlation or causation has nothing to do with Quick stirring up shit. He doesn't care who he smears as long as he gets clicks.
    Or did you miss the entire point of the comment?

    I'm Looking at betting odds. Right now the Blazers are +6600 to win the Championship.
    $100 gets you $6600.
    $1000 gets you an earlier retirement.
    The Blazers have gone up in the last week from the 15th best odds to the 11th. If they beat the Lakers their odds will change again for sure.

    How about a house, Kjiro? And then tweet it to Dame.

    We starting to take control of the game.
    Yes one reason they won but when your rotation bench score 52 points in the game that's to me was the big difference in the game.

    Prove you wrong? The fact that you think Shams would need to piggyback off of a Jason Quick piece is sufficient proof already...

    That's what I figured. The calendar is a real thing. Julius Caesar pretty much created it in 45BC based on twelve months and the solar year. 365 days for 3 years and 366 for the fourth year. Been that way since.

    Check the dates and get back to us.

    I'll help you out. Start with 4-19-21 with Jason Quick. Then try 5-5-21 with Shams Charania.
