How long of a leash should Chauncey have?

What should we do with Chauncey?

  1. Fire him - even young players deserve a good coach

  2. He should be on a short leash - if we look like we're not progressing, he should go in season

    I don't think Chauncey is on the hot seat. His ass is still ice old. Cronin ain't going to fire a guy with this roster of rookies, even if he really deserves it.

    right, but if chauncey being here is going to delay the development of the young guys, he needs to be on the first plane outta town. hard for us to truly gauge this without observing practices/shootarounds/etc.

    I think Chauncey is on the hot seat. There's too much talent on this roster to be this bad. They just paid Stotts for two years not to coach...not sure they want to do this again and pay two coaches but they should in my view

    Blazers had a pre-game special of all the cool stuff Chauncey does for the community when he's not coaching the Blazers. He seems like a very nice person, and that's all Jody Allen needs to see.

    Gunning for draft picks and lots of smiles. There's no way Billups gets fired over X's & O's. The Vulcan suits can do trades, drafts & cap space, but they are completely clueless about NBA coaching.

    I think Billups needs to go, and the sooner the better. Give Brooks the reins for now, get some player development coaches like Vanderpool, a shooting coach who just works with Scoot, and cast a wide net for our next head coach.

    Actually I change my mind.. I was wrong..

    Fire Chauncey and everyone involved!!!

    The reason is, theres salvagable peices here... n this is preposterous...

    took me 3 games to turn on whats going on here..

    I dont like the shot distribution in the offense whatsoever... this is UNWATCHABLE

    15FGA's and 0 FTA's in the first half for Sharpe and Chauncey calling him Devin Booker after the game...
    (and Sharpe was much better in game 3 fwiw)

    and then 16FGA's from Camara in game 3 broke my mental..


    this is a shit product! u cant fool me!

    N the start to the season for Scoot has been an unmitigated disaster... Every part of what this first 3 games looks like --- A Thompson Twin woulda been better at what their asking him to do...


    Now its unfair to judge rookies til after their 3rd season, but conceptually, the sort of puzzle peice their asked to fit --- Look at how well the Thompson twin in Detroit is playing for them... The Blazers woulda been so much better off with that..

    n also the Simons injury is obscene but also this is just a preposterously bad way to start the season.

    I actually legit quit. like i dont wanna watch this shit. n to me the biggest fuckup does relate to not just FEEDING AYTON THE BALL...

    Chauncey wants to get too cute... All this get all the perimeter players going....

    FEED AYTON THE BALL... n let these perimeter players get in where they can... this whole shot distribution is beyond retarded.. This isnt how Scoot should be used either... Brogodon should be playing 40 minutes a game...


    how can anyone who says "were trying to win games" argue for Brogdon getting 26mpg given our current results ont he floor.. but its whatever..

    Ya know whats the most watchable thing about the blazers to me.. the hope that moses brown comes in for garbage time.. and that Ayton makes $35,000,000 a season..


    I feel bad for Ayton but he's hilarious n im glad to see hes laughing and always calling people out for bullshit..

    but thats what im often left with thinking watching this blazers team

    "at least Ayton gets paid half a million dollars per game to put up with this bullshit"

    thats the primary thought that reoccurs in my mind watching the blazers so far this season

    The last 2 games, it has felt like this team is establishing a new identity.

    Tonight, I was thrilled with how they were defending and the effort.

    Chauncy needs to keep the team engaged like this for the rest if the season... but for tonight- Im pleased

    I've eaten my crow egg omelettes already. I'm going to cheer for Chauncey to have a winning season

    I was at the game tonight and CB is very animated and up and down court side constantly. Saw him roll his eyes more than once. He isn’t phoning it in.

    I think he knows it’s do or die as a coach with this team. I also think he was the engine behind moving from Lillard. That’s speculation but I truly believe he didn’t want his coaching career predicated on how great Lillard was
