Game Thread 2022-23 Game #61 - TRAIL BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - FEBRUARY 28th, 2023 - TUESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

lol reread my post. i said one of our CHEAPER assistants in my post. brooks is our lead assistant and i bet one of the more higher paid guys in the league.

please stop responding to my posts. tired of correcting you.

 

So they're both conspiring to suck?

 

I am not sure if throwing Billups under the bus will change anything. Sure, Udoka is probably better and I wouldn't mind, but it looks like there is Lillard and a bunch of role players. It is like you playing chess, having a queen and 14 pawns. You could hire Magnus Carlsen and you going nowhere.

 

Ya I feel the same way. Along with a new front office.

 

Not certain any of this conspiracy is in order.

 

Still think they would promote Brooks first.
And it’s me that has been correcting you as I see it.
Sorry you get so riled so easy. That isn’t my issue man.
By the way you might want to set that whole newbie attitude aside. Plenty newer posters here are on point and some are real decent people.

 

I'm not even sure it's worth debating what assistant coach would replace Billups given that Billups seems highly unlikely to be let go this year.

 

We got the pelicans 3 time in the next two weeks.

 

what’s that now?

 

You know what's really weird? Is how split our fans are about being tank/non-tank. Like there's even a little slight hostility towards each other if the other person doesn't agree with each other. I can't ever recall Portland fans being in this in-between zone before that's this extreme. That's the worst part, usually there's a consensus, but we're all stuck in limbo...it's weird...very weird.

 

The fact that the team is still trotting Dame out there with no frontcourt help and Dame is forced to answer questions every night is making it a tense situation in the fanbase, for sure.

The fact that the opponent paint numbers are something that a 5 year old could break down tells you all you need to know about the team’s intentions.

The only rational explanation the other way is that Winslow and Nurkic are truly nearly ready to go. I’m not counting on it…

 

Of course they did not

 

Front office has done great. Joe took a fucked up roster that was cap strapped and, so far, has turned it into

Sharpe
Thybulle
Reddish
Walker
Grant
Watford
Winslow
Johnson
Knicks protected 1st
5 second round picks

so far that’s a better, more well rounded, roster

 

Billups isn't going anywhere. Of that I'm certain. Now next year might be different? Heck, who honestly knows what next year will bring? So many questions concerning this team at this point?
I agree pointless entering into that debate.

 

Yeah i get this feeling for sure.
I'm one of those guys that always wants to play to win. On the other hand if they need to start losing to procure a better pick then I can live with that also. Just never going to like it.

 

I don’t get how you can claim that roster is better? Most of those guys barely belong in the NBA and shouldn’t even get minutes on any team trying to win games in the playoffs.

 

For me it’s fit, defense

 

NO IT ISN'T!!!!!!!!!!

 

I feel bad that I DO feel bad about losing DESPITE wanting a top pick. At least you're consistent.

 

Keon Johnson should be playing in China
