This is where you're losing the audience. You're pretending to ask unbiased questions, but then you reveal your real motives with statements like, "I have to call out ignorance. Someday it’ll all make sense…" Credibility is slipping away.
"Man, I can't wait for this guy to return from injury....he's REALLY going to help out our team this season"
What a politician statement. Never said why you believed what you believed. You've done this 3 times in the thread. We will just call this your concession speech and we accept it.
I just watched Torey and Eric's response to the GPII trade and it's pretty damn entertaining. Hmmm I can't share it.
I wouldn't be shocked if he went to college with Myers or something like that. He seemed to be really sensitive to the criticism of their FO and GM. It's kind of silly, though. He's posted multiple times that he hasn't been following this and doesn't really know what's going on. He's also posted multiple times that people posting here are wrong in their speculation. Now it's "the truth is probably in the middle" when a lot of us have been going through facts and logic to explain why the GS POV doesn't have legs, talking about how GS's story has changed multiple times, etc. But he has this unconditional trust in what comes out of GS over the Blazers and the reasoning. What really is unnecessary and annoying is the caginess and then the snark. If you know something, share what you know. You don't have to give up your source to do that. Instead, he pokes fun at people trying to make sense of what's going on and doing this passive-aggressive gloating thing that he knows someone in the GS organization -- of course, not like they wouldn't have reason to lie or they couldn't be wrong. Just weird. If you can't say what your GS buddy knows, then stop snickering at Blazer fans. Just take your hands off the keyboard and be firm in the knowledge that you think you know what's going on and leave it at that.
This dude….his behavior….the expectations of him turning around our franchise “when he gets back!”, this whole situation… Just an absolute joke top to bottom.
All season on here we’ve read how much of an impact he was going to make when he returns. Everyday. Stop.
No....c'mon bruh....post your sauces! (It is true though, he did have a big impact on this franchise.)
You are the one that keeps repeating this over and over among other things. Beating dead horses. Just asking for clarification. If you are referring to me, I never said he'd single handedly turn the franchise around. I thought he could help anchor the bench defensively and relieve Dame a bit, to help things. Didn't quite happen that way. I can accept that. I thought once he was back and healthy and the whole team was healthy and playing together, the Blazers would look better. I had hoped. It didn't work out that way. I can move on. Can you?
I believed he would be a big help because he clearly plugs a hole with this roster. He never played healthy to prove it, but we got a taste of what it could have been with MT last night - because frankly, he fits into the same hole the Blazers roster has - and we have seen that he can be very useful for this roster even without Grant and to a point Nurk to help him on defense.
