    Yep, burn it the fuck down. Can't be anything on there Olshey ever touched or was touched by something he touched.

    Absolute disgrace of a team. And Chauncey needs to go. Absolute atrocious fucking game.

    I think our roster is the problem.

    You think that he has NOT been building around Dame?

    This is the best he could do. It wasn't good enough, and it was obvious coming into this season that it wasn't going to be good enough. Tearing down to build around Dame and Grant... that's nuts. It's either tear it down or fiddle with the roster and cross your fingers something clicks. Both of them are worse options now than they were when the team fired Olshey.

    Saying this for years
    The media is the conduit between the people paying to attend these games and buying team merch and the players, coaches and front office. Dame's done a lot for this organization, but some of the money going into his bank account is coming indirectly from the people the reporters are asking questions for. And, let's face it, you're getting paid and basically this organization followed your lead for what would make a winning team, so you deserve to get asked the questions.

    That’s what I’ve been saying for awhile. Nothing is going to get this team anywhere close to playoff success. The best solution is to trade the whole roster and hope the new team is better. At least that way there is some hope. Right now there is no hope.

    Yeah, I don't think this roster can compete under Chauncey and his philosophies and I mean the vast majority of the roster. So I would be thrilled if the only remaining starters after the deadline are Dame and JG and if the only remaining rotational bench players still here are Shae, GP2 and maybe Nas. Everyone else can and should go. Actually I would trade GP2 and Nas as well but due to their health and contracts I don't think they would be positive trade value in any trade and if healthy both guys could be great bench pieces in Chauncey's system.

    It’s becoming a point in his career where Lillard is the 2nd piece to the Championship aspiring team. Not building around him

    It is definitely time to shake up the starting lineup. Even if it does nothing, it shows that Billups is unhappy with what's going on now.

    Don't worry, my decision to quit my day job will not be impacted by your text group.

    The two main things he didn't like being questioned about was if he wanted people traded and if he was still content being in Portland.

    I’ve watched a handful of Alabama games this season and I think Brandon Miller is going to be a stud in the NBA.

    Billups in the postgame came across as even more clueless than he did during the game. There is no chance he is going to make any adjustments.

    He needs to be fired. Bring in Quin Snyder.
