    I loved that Billups actually said he thinks he can score more than he’s shown, and be more of a focal point in general. I know Nurk has a relationship with him so it’s not just smoke. I think he’s gonna have his best season yet, health willing.

    2nd question - basically, why not a woman?

    is EVERYTHING a social issue now over there?

    really cool to see Nurk watch this on his phone at night in Bosnia, and awesome to see CJ and Roco there seemingly on their accord.

    I hate that the idiots on Blazersedge/Reddit and Twitter have made it so any positive comment Dame can make on this hire, they'll skewer him for. Of course he watched this and of course he's outspoken enough to make a comment, but they woulda blasted him even further if he said even a word.

    ugh

    Today I've decided there is a spectrum between reporter and media personality - AF is clearly closer to the latter.

    I thought the pc was decent and Chauncey does seem to have a confidence about him that he can lead players and incorporate some new schemes and adjustments. I liked that he mentioned Dame playing off the ball and Nurk being a defensive dude but can score more. To me Chauncey come across sincere and humble addressing that past situation. Im excited that e wants to bring on defensive minded assistant coaches.

    They handled the allegations and backlash well.

    Neil got very awkward trying to explain away not hiring Hammon. Mentioned her then went off a wild tangent. He was very uncomfortable in that moment. Basically said he like Becky but Chauncey was always his guy.

    Neil basically said he isn't going to trade for another star with his there are other ways answer to win championships. I don't think we will see much change this offseason roster wise.

    Probably see Collins go and someone like Olynyk signed. That's about it.

    I think to me they answered the question now we need put behind us and now concentrate on the Blazers as a whole.

    for better or worse, I probably would have said something like... "in the end, we carefully considered an innovator with an enormous amount of experience, a coach with a middling amount of experience, and one with a smaller amount of experience. We chose the one with the most upside."
