Blazers Press Conference announcing new coach 6-29-2021

Yes im aware. what are you trying to say?

 

Neil laid the blame on Stotts, and he said it wasn't a roster issue, so I guess he's willing to die on that hill?

 

I honestly think it's in Dame's best interests to not be there today. Whatever he could possibly do by being there would just be spun into some story by the media. He's the most high profile personality on the team. If he's there the focus will always be on him.

 

Loved what Chauncey had to say from a basketball perspective. Loved that he didn't shy away from any of the other stuff. I do like Quick, but it was kind of funny hearing that smackdown.

The bingo card made me lol

 

Why is anyone excited about Billups? You really think that a simple coaching change is all that is needed to make this roster compete for championships? No way.

Neil threw Stotts under the bus by saying the roster way underachieved and is now even setting up to use Billups' inexperience as an excuse since he's talked so much about his potential being the reason for the hire. It's not that Billups is the best now, but they believe in his potential.

 

Loved also how Billups sort of chuckled when asked about his relationship with Dame, then went on to tell everyone how tight they were. Basically told people to calm the fuck down

 

I think they both came off well.

But I am absolutely certain S2 will find something else to fight about.

 

that takeaway was predetermined. Rather double down than admit you may have judged without knowing what you were talking about. A lot easier to put the blame on someone else than to look inward.

 

Was about to say the same. 9.00 pm in Western Europe. Perfect timing for me as well.

 

Yessssss! Time to begin the process of going after the title. Work by everyone is needed. But this is a nice start. Go Blazers!

 

im going to twitter to see what assholes are saying

 

No, we WON'T!!

 

where was clownzano?

 

the level of groupthink at that place is toxic.

 

warriors fired mark Jackson and hired Steve Kerr. Didn’t do that much else. The biggest thing was a coaching decision to ply draymond green

 

ok, im loving what he's saying about the team and the work needed, the focus on D, how better to use Nurk, and the team config.

In all reality, this is what we have been asking for for years...... Dame wants a smart coach who is doing everything to win - i think CB will bring that.

 

I think he did in not so many words. I heard him compliment the other candidates, especially Becky, but that he feels They picked the coach with the highest ceiling.

 

And people in here say Fentress is a good reporter...

 

People need to Google what "Proprietary Information Agreement" means.
