Blazers Press Conference announcing new coach 6-29-2021

Pretty clear Olshey is the one that shut that down with that sip of water and glance.

 

Shall we all stop shit-stirring? Yes there are obnoxious fans on both sides of this issue. But there are also fairly sensible ones on both sides. Pretending that everyone on the other side is just an asshole is just going to make Blazer fandom miserable.

 

CJ and RoCo welcome their new coach

 

I don't think you're the source of anything. But the fact remains, Chauncey was accused of rape and that is something a reporter has to ask about or be negligent. Reporters flat out shouldn't not ask questions to avoid embarrassing anybody. Everybody involved knew these questions were coming, and if the family were there, either somebody prepared them or everybody's unbelievably negligent (as in I literally don't believe it).

(I'm not sure what "react to shit" means. Yes, I respond to sensory stimuli in that I am a living creature.)

 

Agree, but the obnoxious ones are the ones stirring up actual responses from our players.

 

What do you mean by "concern"? You worry that damaging stuff about Chauncey could come out later, or you're saying that any investigation that did due diligence should've done this?

 

But remember, Dame "liked" the guy who said the real fans are behind him, so...

 

Apropos of nothing at all, my mother in law had a minor stroke a couple of months ago and has changed completely for the better since. She's almost pleasant to be with!

 

I completely agree that:
1. People should not be held accountable for their entire lives because of things they did before their brains fully formed.
2. People should be allowed to redeem themselves and be forgiven (which is why I believe, as do most liberals, that ex-cons deserve every chance).

What I don't get is how your idea of the Blazers using accusations of racism against the people protesting against the hiring of coach with a rape accusation in his past is "lancing" the problem from society rather than making things a whole lot fucking worse.

Ah yes, the SJW shit-stirrer. The only person responsible for "cancel culture". This is why we're justified in passing laws banning the teaching of certain academic theories in schools and universities. Yes, that'll fix the problem!
And is the "True Fan" one who wouldn't even care if every member of the team was a serial rapist so long as they can play basketball?

Re: your "argument" above. You seem to assume that, given that we don't know who's telling the truth, we actually do, it's Chauncey and not that lying tramp who's just a gold-digging liar.

 

“I think we can even be better offensively with more ball movement, different schemes, different plays, executing a little bit better. Playing on both sides of the floor a little bit more, not having to like, you know have Dame and CJ bail you out with those shots that they can make all the time. Having some more continuity, not only ball movement, but player movement.

“Big Nurk, you know, is an asset. I think that he can score more than he has in the past. He's a really good facilitator, moving him around, putting the ball in his hands, moving Dame and CJ off the ball a little bit.”

SOLD

 

It was Quick.
Blazers don’t deal with him. He’s has lost them. Not sure why he continues to try to report them. Pretty much “He Blew His Chance” it’s gone.

 

THIS!!!

 

Fuck You! You're racist against Iso-offense and matador defense! What a disgrace!

 

Possibly, or if the person who was financially challenged was actually the guilty party, and the others were only named because they were the ones with money and just wanted it to go away. I read the reports online as well and his "dialogue" was the most suspicious and disturbing.

 

As someone just banned from BE, Dia’s end goal is to get as much attention as she can to try and crack into sports journalism and she’s smart enough to exploit the issue of rape for clicks.

 

Man now those people are harassing Travis Demers on twitter over this, the mob has to be satisfied

 

How can you not see the hypocrisy here? Really?

 

As I said above, it's basically over. And, here's a really sad thing about all of this tomfoolery: women are going to have a harder time breaking into the head coaching ranks.

As a gm, it's much safer to not consider female hc candidates.

And, it's too bad. If it wasn't for her baggage, Becky (or someone with her qualifications) would be a reasonable choice as hc for a club trying to develop young players.

 

not quite

Klay and Green were 23 and Curry was 25. Next season, Dame will be 31, CJ 30, and Nurkic 27. What the Warrior drafted off of was the maturation of their big 3 players. Portland won't have that. And of course, the Blazers won't have a #2 as good as Klay or a #3 as good as Green

the Warriors are a really bad comp for Portland
