    Are you saying you don't want an inconsistent product on the court?

    Super inconsistent in management. People talk about how loyal to a fault Dame has been with coaches and teammates. Merritt is moreso with even mediocre results. Has ridden the coattails of a generational player and random hot streaks to championship appearances, and then 2 of those games flopped because he pinched Pennies on positions of need.

    picture a louder Mouth Mark Cuban while playing with dads money.

    There are three billionaires in Oregon. Travis Boersma (Dutch Bros Coffee) estimated at 3.4 billion. Timothy Boyle (Columbia Sportswear CEO) 2.4 billion. Phil Knight (Nike) at 49 billion.

    It makes trekking the 70 miles to games 2/3 of the season super crappy, but makes it fun when they realize “oh crap we better win more so we don’t miss the playoffs in a league where more than half the teams make it.” [​IMG]

    Why do they have to be Oregonians? The team has never been owned by an Oregonian.

    Wow is Phil at 49 billion?! Damn even more so my point. I don’t get why he doesn’t buy the blazers and just use it for an investment toy. He wouldn’t even feel it whatsover in his pocket if he bought the team

    Why? He already won a championship and multiple cup appearances. Timbers are never garbage either. I would love him

    LOL. If a new Blazers Owner could take the franchise to 3 championship appearances in the next decade, as the Timbers have done, we would all be ecstatic.

    He’s probably just a metoo supporter trying his best to downplay a championship and 2 cup appearances in 10 years lol

    Chad Doing has this last week. Wonder if they are hearing the same thing, or if the Clown is just parroting what Chad brought up. Doing seemed quite certain.

    Interesting. Cause I have sat through some downright awful to mediocre seasons. I know I haven't been around much the last decade or so here, but in the short amount of time I have been around and seen you post, it sure seems like mediocrity was a thing you derailed several threads about around these here parts.
