    Then get him the fuck outta dodge. Nobody wants/needs a seven-foot p#%$y on their team.

    there's a big difference between "dirty" and "tough."

    i have no interest in watching nurk get ejected every game for dirty fouls.

    imagine thinking Nurk is a pussy. Hes easily the most physical player on the team. Ask anyone that gets screened by him or has to box him out. He’s also one of the few guys on the team willing to talk shit and stand up for himself.

    What shade? Olshey and Jaynes are cool together. Jaynes didn’t like Stotts for obvious reasons

    Wouldn't that be a reflection on Pop's coaching abilities?

    Udoka will represent Jefferson high school, Portland State and the Trail Blazers well

    I guess I’m the only one who reads that as shade. Seems to me Turtle is saying he should have been a candidate

    After being a model franchise for years, you have to really start to question them. They haven't been relevant in years, and LMA and Kawhi wanting out. I don't know if it's the coach, the assistant coaches, the GM, the owner, or what.

    Did you read the next sentence? “Don’t really care if I know what her specific duties are.”

    Billups on a successful team.
    MDA on a successful team.
    Udoka on a successful team.
    Ham on a successful team.
    But once again, I don’t really care about team success as much as I care about I *know* what they are responsible for and they are succeeding at doing it based on stats.
    Whatever the hell Hammon is responsible for may or may not be justifiable with stats.
    Anyway, over this conversation. It’s clear no one knows what the fûck her duties are. Which makes me personally think she is getting a bit of favoritism.

    I trust that whoever is making the decision has more info and insight into her specific duties and how that has led to improvement, statistically, in the Spurs organization.

    I will be happy with any of the candidates chosen for this reason, even if I have candidates I prefer. I do not have access to all information.

    Hammon played on a successful team.

    I have to scrutinize every post to keep auto correct from doing weird shit. Like changing Sheed to She'd earlier and Shred here. Damnit I know what I am saying. Don't need auto correct pretending it knows better.

    To be honest, I am not sure of the specific job duties of the various Blazers assistant coaches.

    He certainly plays like a pussy around the rim. Don’t get me wrong, I love Nurk as much as the next guy but I want ‘Nurk Fever’ Nurk, not whatever he’s digressed into. If his head is right, he’s an asset. But if he’s gonna pout and play like he did in the playoffs this year, he’s of no use.

    Hammon calls offensive and defensive sets for the Spurs. More offense than defense

    That is according to someone who would know such things

    We currently don’t have any.
    And we don’t have any in the running for one of the top available jobs.
    And when we did had AC’s worth hiring away.. did you not know what Vanterpool’s coaching responsibility was?

    More than I’ve gotten so far, doesn’t tell me much, but better than nothing. Thank you.

    And as I said, I’m sure whoever makes the hire has more information than I do, which is why I won’t be up in arms.
