    I've been a fan of the mariners my whole life, we can play the length of sadness cheering a team lol

    Blazers since 91 and a hardcore fan from about 08. I remember it all.

    I agree completely with the last sentence about the draft and offseason, and this is Joes last off-season to make something happen. If by this time next year we're in the same spot, I won't be fuming mad, but Joe (and most likely Chauncey) will be fired. And I'd support both of those.

    He’s a good on ball defender. His problem is on team defense. He’s always lost and misses rotations. He’ll have to learn and improve there.

    Then you are resigning yourself to never winning, because I don't think he had the ability to lead a team to a championship. He was always outclassed against the top tier coaches of the league.

    I would rather chase the potential of a top tier coach rather than keep a mediocre one for 10+ years. The guy was played out. He gave us everything he was ever going to give us.

    I'll never realize I'm wrong because it's a subjective opinion.

    Anything else? ;)

    Not interested in watching Dame “do his thing.” Bench him and let’s see if we can go 6-20 the rest of the way.

    Utah and OKC hired the right coaches. Both rookie head coaches as well.

    Is there ANY world where that happens? He doesn't have an injury that'll keep him out like last year lol

    What did Stotts do poorly that Chauncey does better? Hint: it’s not defense and it’s not in-game adjustments.

    There is nothing subjective about a coach being bad or not.

    I think if we cared about winning now we would have addressed that.

    That's an opinion I don't agree with. I believe he was probably good enough to win a title with a championship level roster. He was always outclassed by teams with better talent/length.

    I agree that I think Billups could be a good coach. Can we agree that the roster sucks ass?
