    BBert -- Facts never stopped Cancel Culture from doing this BS so your words are wasted on these people. ---

    Nice Job Blazers in Hiring Billups but i hope he gets ONE assistant who has been a HC before to help him but again nice job NeO now time to figure out how to fix this mess of a roster.

    The top story about him is going to be the rape case by our local media.

    It's like living in the jailblazers Era again with Nothing burgers from hungry SJWs and bottom feeder "journalists".

    That’s where the virgins hang. Good thing the internet doesn’t represent reality.

    I like our new coach, Lil' Pubs, but I hear he drinks like a fish.

    If Kobe Bryant can be one of the most beloved NBA players of all time, Billups can coach the Portland Trailblazers

    Really excited for the hire. Hearing him talk about basketball the last few years reminded me of Kerr. Great reports of his work with the Clippers.

    Spolstra would have been my first choice but I think I like Billups the most of the available candidates.

    Carlise would've been high too, although I don't know he'd have entertained the idea of taking Stotts job.

    Does anyone remember who they wanted the team to hire last time? I remember being all MEH when Stotts was announced. I’m actually excited about billups. Hope he succeeds and if he doesn’t hope it doesn’t take him a decade to get fired

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You seem to think that I'm criticizing the move. I merely said that of the options, I'm a meh, because nothing I've seen or heard suggests Billups is anything special. I imagine I'd have the same reaction to most head coaching hires--the vast majority of head coaches are pretty unimpactful, in my opinion.

    I wanted Hammon but I'm OK with Billups. Glad it's not MDA. I hope Hammon gets a coaching gig in one of the open spots.

    I was extremely underwhelmed with their entire list last time.

    This time it was at least some people that I was okay with. I would have been fine with Hammon. I would have probably been okay with MDA. I like Chauncey. I don't think there was anyone that I was just flat out unhappy about.

    You don't honestly believe that do you? You do understand the uphill battle victims face when they speak out about sexual assault right? Speaking out against a professional basketball player amplifies that many times over.

    In these instances, everyone always thinks about the accused and how they will move on.

    Why don't more think about the victim and what they're going through?

    If there's one thing I've learned in my 86 years on this planet, it's that twitter, Blazersedge and Blazer reddit is the Mos Eisley of Blazer fans. You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than Blazers Twitter, Edge and Reddit.
