    People are still poking their little heads in here being silly as fuck. The internet and blazer edge and a bunch of sorry asses complaining means Billups is getting roasted in the real world? Lmao get the fuck out of here, this will cool down shortly after we have the press conference and that will be it. The drama queens are having their moment in the sun right now. Billups is gonna be the coach so deal with it how you like, good or bad.
    On another note, can we seriously get a petition or find a way to get Canzono off the Oregonian?

    the guy is so toxic not sure how he is still allowed to write columns

    I certainly didn’t mean for this to sound as ominous as it does.

    My damn brain just can’t get words from point A to point B and it’s too frustrating for me

    Hopefully Billups does well. Hopefully the pro Billups people drown out the anti Billups people


    Anywho, go Blazers

    I hope so too but I am still unsure about how good he is (and how he gets a long with Dame and the others). Nevertheless, I think it is worth a try and better than many other coaches who are for years in the league and have to look every second year for a new team (since success is missing). Let us see and give him at least half a season before we can really evaluate if things go in the right direction.

    I always thought you are sensible man, but in this case, I think, you surfing on a very high emotional wave. While I am with you on "protect women" culture wholeheartedly, I am aware that some women ride on rape accusations as their full time job. Paraphrasing you: "Go and ask your women if false accusations after actions are possible." Not saying that this was the case here, but in given circumstances it is at least possible. And going tru this tread pages I hear everything about Billups and don't know nothing about Jane Doe and that info could really clarify what happened.

    I am myself torned here, but saying "this signing is the biggest misstep of the Olshey era" shows how far you lost your mind here:)
    I am torned, cos I clearly don't need rapist as a coach, but from basketball point of view I belive this could be our best coach in years.
    From basketball point of view he could be totally opposite of Stotts.

    I was one of the "no" votes because I'd rather have had a more established coach like Carlisle or D'Antoni. But I've talked myself into liking the choice.

    I often find myself talking myself into like Blazer decision. Part of being a fan I guess.

    If the team is performing well in the first month of the season, nobody is going to care about a rape allegation from the 90's.

    Major PR blunder by Blazers to let story leak before they could formally introduce coach. Now they have to play defense instead of getting in front of the story. Well, get to see how well Billups plays defense.

    How do you know the Blazers let it leak?

    No contract is signed to do presser. The other coaches hired have had it reported well before signed.

    oh look another judgement instead of a counter debate..


    You sure you want to die on that hill?

    sure you want to go down that path????
    LMAO


    how about a cohesive counter argument if his path is so questionable?????


    Oh.. there isn't one. Cause he/she is correct.

    So i decided to enter the world that is S2 - Oregonian - Blazers Edge

    Some of you have lost your collective minds. That idiot John Clownzappa has completely lost it! Dave Deckard has pretty much Convicted Billups all on his fucking own?

    I posted this on Blazers Edge. I doubt it will be there more than a few minutes because i called out the Emperor/Fascist Leader/King whatever they call him there.

    I personally feel Dave Deckard should not have posted this until Chauncy Billups has a chance to address it.
    This situation and conversation has gotten way out of line and the man has the right to address it. Problem is he can’t until it is officially announced and the opportunity has been given to him to answer any questions about the situation. He is still an assistant for the Clippers and they have a series to play.
    Posting this story just like John Canzano has done, was not just a poor choice but is was reckless at best. The court of public opinion is something journalist and people in the journalistic community have an obligation to respect.
    Dave Deckard failed to respect the powers that he has here.
    Seems a number of comments on this site get Deleted. It’s why i post here very seldom. I hope that this comment gets the respect it deserves because it is also part of the issue. You cannot publish a story without the author being held accountable just as much as the accused. It’s the same as you cannot endorse someone without being held responsible for that endorsement.

    Fact of the matter is Rape is an ugly and violent crime and perpetrators of that crime should be convicted to the fullest extent that the law allows. The problem here is that absolutely NONE of these women were raped or sexually abused by Chauncy Billups but somehow Mr Deckard has sullied Mr Billups by connecting him to not only these 5 women but even worse All rape victims.

    I would hope in the future Mr Deckard and along with him Mr Canzano of the Oregonian would choose to use a greater amount of restraint in their quest for "Clicks" on the internet. People who are accused have the right to defend themselves. In this case Mr Billups has not been allowed that opportunity and by the time he does public opinion will have already made it’s decision.


    Kjironman!

    Please tell me @SlyPokerDog has not gone all "Kill the Rapist" on this site?

    Also. Maybe you guys should just chill a bit? Nothing can get addressed until Billups gets a chance to address it publicly. He should address it i agree but he deserves the chance in my opinion.
