Notice Chauncey Billups new Portland Trail Blazers head coach

What the fuck, people are still talking about this shit? Move the fuck on, just ignore this shit guys and help it go away. You are adding to the noise by discussing this over and over. Stop replying to people who want to keep dragging this shit into the dirt, and you will see how quick this thread goes to the bottom.

 

Yeah, I'm with you that there's not much to see here but when SI and Yahoo Sports run national stories on something new about this situation (a situation that should probably be left alone). I think it's understandable for the fans that care the most about this team to comment on those national stories that are about the team.

To tell everyone to ignore it and not give it air because it's negative and it's unfair to Chauncey, isn't very realistic. I also don't think there should be any subject that's in the news, about our team, that people should be discouraged from discussing on here.

 

We aren't ignoring it completely if people have been discussing this same fucking thing for the last couple weeks. It was brought up and discussed in the media, by Neil and Billups himself, and my national media.

At the end of the day there is no new information man, just media with a agenda. Now, what we can do is not keep beating a dead horse, almost the same thing as ignoring it. It's done with man, he is the coach!

So you want to keep talking about this over and over in say a month if another media outlet brings up some 'claim"

Move on! and whats more in annoying to these woke fans and media that have a agenda, is to ignore! That bothers them more than anything.

You also say, there is nothing much to see here and then say they are saying something new about the situation. That doesn't make sense, there is nothing new it's just some sour media claim

 

I'm just don't make it my business to tell people to shut up about things that are very prominent in the media, about this team, on a forum about this team. A story ran yesterday about the investigation that Neil wouldn't go into during the press conference. The story gave new information about how that investigation was conducted or more so what wasn't done during the investigation. When the national media is talking about this team, this forum should not only feel free to discuss it, it would be really weird if they didn't.

SI and Yahoo aren't "woke" activists, they're following stories that have interest. You're trying to tell people what they should be interested in. The fact that you're using the word woke in a negative connotation makes me suspect that you also use the term cancel culture in a negative connotation but what could be more limiting to the people's right to dialogue than to tell them what they shouldn't be discussing?

 

what shit are you rambling about now? We discussed this shit already many times, we are fucking 80 pages deep into this thread. Its been all over media as well. There is a point where enough is enough, its best to just stop discussing and move on or we are gonna be here forever.

Are you not seeing most dont care or have moved on from this? I was talking to those. Those like you that want to keep talking about it can, but once the ones that dont care anymore stop interacting in this discussion, you will see how small the circle of those trying to beat a dead horse is.

It actually seems exactly what I say is correct, ignoring a continuously dead horse topic bothers people more than anything, and now you trying to make it a thing to say we shouldn't ignore it lmao.

Its a very small percentage of people still complaining, and that's a small bunch of fans and Portland media. One or two SI articles doesn't change that.

This has been a bad look for Portland fans, and even pissed off our superstar.

If you ever go to a neutral media forum, like go to youtube or somewhere else for videos posted about the Billups hire, its 90% positive comments, or almost all positive. It makes you understand how toxic and loud these little bunch of sour fans and media can be.

The faster this is behind us is better for ALL involved.

End of discussion.

 

The draft is 14 days away, and free agency starts 4 days after that. Hope is on the horizon.

 

You don't get to dictate when the end of a discussion is in here. I'm all for Chauncey but we don't have to be a monolith in here.

Also this is the "shit" I was "rambling about" that is brand new as of yesterday.

Sorry you have reality that you not only want to look away from but want to dictate if others can discuss. Again, that's not how this place works. I guess the discussion probably continues.

 

yahoo is pretty much the homepage browser for Blazers Edge.....their articles are front page news on yahoo.

 

SI?

 

that's not what i said.

i said opening all this up and rehashing that night has to be traumatic to the victim, especially if the only goal is to exonerate Billups from the minds of dumbass fans.

 

In this new article it is her lawyer that came forward and stated that the team's investigation never tried to contact anyone from her camp.

Don't get me wrong, from everything I read, there is nothing that would keep me from hiring Chauncey but when Olshey says the investigation was thorough and that everyone has to take his word for it and then this story comes out and no one contacted the victims camp, no one contacted the DA or the office, no one contacted the police... then it's not about Chauncey, it's about Olshey refusing to answer questions, making assurances and then having those assurances look like bullshit.

I'm sure when it's all said and done Chauncey will be saying what he's said for 24 years, the story from the alleged victim still will have changed a couple times and still won't place Chauncey at the scene. It will be a he said she said where Chauncey has absolutely no evidence against him and the presumption of innocence on his side.

 

The crusade, or what’s left of it, in a couple weeks.

 

The DA said it at the time but the old DA and the office said they were never contacted during our investigation. Listen, I think what the DA said 24 years ago is good enough but to say an investigation was thorough and we'll just have to trust Olshey that it was and that guy that practically exonerated Chauncey 24 years ago wasn't even contacted during this "thorough" investigation is bad news for Olshey's already shaky credibility.

 

i agree with you. Olshey's handle on things this entire summer has been nothing short of a disaster. There was a way for him and the org to be very transparent about this process, but they chose not to be. Even when Chauncey seemed to want to talk about things, they decided to muzzle him for no reason.

I really don't give a damn about the fan backlash, but there's no excuse for letting Dame get caught in the crossfire. That's my biggest problem, and the reason why Neil should go.

 

beginning to doubt this.

It ain't going anywhere.

 

It’s been dead for weeks but keep digging to prove it isn’t. No one gives a fuck. Congrats on continuing to infest the board with this bullshit though.

 

Maybe the answer is "no" at this point or "I have no idea" further exonerating Chauncey and making the decision to move past this even easier. Assumptions are the opposite of being thorough. Olshey promised that the investigation was thorough and he lied. Again, this has no reflection on Chauncey. In fact Olshey did him a disservice. The team's PR also did him a disservice when they refused to let him answer that question that he started to answer at the presser.

Here's the story from my viewpoint: Chauncey's good and Olshey is still fucking shit up like he always does.

 

first of all, i want this to be a non-story as much as you do and i didn't post the OPB piece or the SI piece. so i don't get what you mean by infesting.

second of all, burying your head in the sand ain't solving shit. this isn't gonna just go away with time.
