    Watching this team is driving me insane, but I do love walking out of the Moda Center after a win, so whatever.

    my guess is they were bitching more after game 4 than they were before game 1

    Absolutely. Always the loudest after we get bounced.

    Except for the fact that the Olshey haters are more righteous.

    That's certainly an opinion. I always feel like the anit-coach crowd is the most righteous, but there is no way of proving it one way or the other.

    Probably just depends on if you agree with the opinion or not on how righteous you feel the group is.

    The Warriors roster for example. The only center they play is 6'9" Kevon Looney, averaging 17 minutes per game and makes $5 million.
    The starting center for the Wizards is 6'9" Daniel Gafford and the backup is 6'7" Montrezl Harrell.

    I just don't think Roco should play 4 with a three guard lineup ever. We give up way too much size. Roco with Nas at 3 is OK or Roco at 3 with Nance at 4.

    From what I’m watching I think billups is a good coach.
    That was the most collective fight this team has shown in years

    I dispute that

    I'm an Olshey hater, but unlike the vague generalization earlier, I have never rooted for Portland to lose. Never

    Btw…. Let’s not dwell on it too much. If it wasn’t for Nance we would’ve lost by 20

    Only time I'm happy with a Blazer loss is when we've been eliminated from the playoffs and it helps our lottery position. Even then, I can't root for them to lose during the game.

    I want us to win a championship under Olshey, that would be amazing!

    I want to be 33 again and have Jessica Alba give me a million dollars and 60 year old single malt scotch for boffing her. (she should probably wait till after the boffing for the scotch)

    he posted cryptic shit on social after our one win the last road trip, so the idea that he's completely happy in wins is nonsense. i empathize a bit because dame's struggles HAVE exacerbated the situation and we do revert too much to isos to get lillard going, but as I've been saying... keep it in house. actions speak louder than words in this instance.

    contrast his interview with larry's. body language is night and day.

    I'm just shaking my head at the immaturity. He's not grown up. Theres not many teams that can offer him a significant contract this off-season, but he may want to leave regardless. I'm hoping we try shopping him.
