    Wow, I was just going to post that this isn't going to be an issue unless some columnist like Canzano makes an issue of it. This is sad.

    If it’s something one is trying to justify, bad decision sounds better than mistake, IMO

    Writing the wrong answer on a test is a mistake. Looking over someone’s shoulder, even if you didn’t see the answer is a bad decision

    Ready to be called a Billups apologist, Billups believer, etc!

    Hope he has a ton of success during his tenure!

    It’s not Canzano’s fault that

    A. Billups was involved in whatever
    B. The Blazers hired him with others available with no baggage

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    A "mistake" generally (IMO) means a bad judgment or a decision with faulty information. I don't think malicious actions like rape qualify as a mistake. It's not merely a poor judgment (like misreading your audience when making a joke, or even drunk driving which, while it can have horrible consequences, might arise out of your mistaken belief that you're not very impaired) or anything to do with not having sufficient information. It's a purposeful choice to harm someone.

    everyone has baggage

    (waiting for the, “Becky Hammons has no baggage” comments. they might be right. but my belief is that everyone has baggage.)

    wouldn’t want Billups to fail because I don’t want Portland to suck. but I’m okay with the latter part of your comment.

    I would’ve bet any kind of money Hammon not kneeling for the anthem would’ve been brought up on blazersEdge at some point. If people want to get mad, they will find something to get mad about.

    I definitely did some stupid shit in my youth. None of it comes even remotely close to a rape allegation but I could have gotten in trouble. I just didn’t get caught.

    I think Olshey getting fired in the next two years is inevitable unless he brings in a legit contending roster for the first time.

    In which case, I'm fine with him keeping his job!
