    Yet you want to put all the blame on one party. Super duper.

    I do not understand what you are talking about. I believe that I mentioned at least 4 people who all had a hand in this in my post. I think Allen, Prichard, Penn and LeGarie all played a role in this decision. Pointing blame has nothing to do with my post.

    LOL! The closest you came to putting blame on PA was in saying he can do what he wants. And by definition, you're blaming KP for associating himself with LaGarie. You keep on buying the Blazers spin, though. At least some of us can step back and see both sides are full of shit.

    When was Allen ever a hero? :dunno:

    To me he's always been an impatient nerd who has periodic meltdowns every 5-7 years, dragging the team down with him each time. :crazy:

    To me he's the billionaire who sucked the life out of many Portland small businesses by declaring "bankruptcy", who still has not repaid several million dollars of his local debts and has no intention of ever doing so. :devilwink:

    To me he's the owner who insists on making the final decision, and some very idiotic ones from time to time, then publicly uses his GM for the ultimate scapegoat when those decisions don't work out so good. :tsktsk:

    Had he not been born into a wealthy family, I assume he'd be in jail for fraud, embezzlement, or some similar weasel-like crime. :pimp:

    But maybe I set my standard requirements for hero-worship too high? :sigh:

    Beating a dead horse? Really? The draft and pritchard's firing finally came to an end one week ago after simmering for six months or so. Why is it beating a dead horse? Would we have stopped talking about the championship if we had won it? That was a whopping two weeks ago.

    If you're tired of talking about a subject or hearing about a subject...avoid threads involving that subject.

    Yes the best way to get people to stop talking about something is to start yet another thread about it and then write the longest write up EVER on the subject.

    Fucking brilliant.

    Oh perfect. I see 2 posts later you claim everyone else is beating a dead horse.

    Another masterstroke.

    Some of you kill me :grin:

    Of course, I am just joking.

    And, of course, we are known around here for beating a dead horse, burying it, digging it up and beating it some more, but that is the nature of a message board. So long as people want to discuss it, it gets discussed.

    Pretty evenhanded take by the other KP, Kevin Pelton. http://www.basketballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=1172

    Great article by Pelton.

    This issue will be put to bed as soon as the Blazers bring in a new GM who is better than KP. If firing KP was the right decision, that should be easy.

    Yep. If the GM that replaces Pritchard is better than he is, I won't have much of a problem with it going forward. Tick tock, tick tock.

    I guess it is you who we should be consulting on every new thread. I am joking of course.
