Notice Chauncey Billups new Portland Trail Blazers head coach

Why? Billups is a Great Hire!
/notsarcastic

 

I don’t think Quick has said anything? Wouldn’t be fair to pair him with those two clowns unless he deserves it lol.

 

truth....extreme left or right, both crazies. One wants to blow up military recruiting centers and the other abortion clinics. Now social media is all based on flash this, flash that, take no prisoners and dont bring up young people with love and compassion rather teach them to get in people face with hate, if they do not endorse or buy into the daily flash.

 

Thank you Wob

 

Dame has written and published songs about Kobe.

Where was the outrage for that?

 

And who exactly isn't being loyal to him? A small number of people on twitter, many of whom aren't even Portland fans?

 

they knew what they were getting into, so they must truly believe in Chauncey. I believe in him. Call it a gut feeling because it’s not based on much else, but I think he’s gonna be a good coach. Now if these dumbass “fans” would let him do his job, or at least wait until he has a chance to speak, that’d be great.

 

who is this guy?

 

Neil being allowed to manage a rebuild would be the worst timeline.

 

Let it change your opinion of him, fine. But this isn't on him. This is on the trash bag virtue signaling douchebags online that call themselves Blazers fans who drum up problems that arent there for online clout. I dont blame Dame one bit for wanting out after the last few days

 

Lol? It’s not a small number of people.
And they’re very, very vocal.
And there are plenty of *actual* Portland fans who are @ing him as well sending him crazy stuff.
If it was a “small number” do you think Woj would’ve really had a segment on it in the NBA countdown? Come on.

 

Ok but he has to realize those people are a vocal minority. They only seem like more because he’s constantly online.

 

Yes. A small number. How many blazer fans do you think are in Oregon and around the world? I imagine the number who actually use twitter and have reached out to him is a tiny tiny fraction.

 

That's why it sounds like a total copout reason to leave.

 

Oh I dont think this was everything. I think he was already frustrated with the way this last year went and him now being attacked (even if just by a minority of people) is enough for him to say screw this place. If I'd been loyal to a place as long as he had and a group of those people then started going at me and just flat out acting ridiculous over THIS, I'd walk away too. What's he got to stay for at that point? I dont blame him one bit. The actions of a few can unfortunately ruin it for the rest. This is Portland

 

this is a guy who has daydreams about championship parades on broadway in downtown portland and you managed to paint him as a villain.

Congrats, ripcity

 

We will agree to disagree on the previous.
But it’s not a cop out. I literally called this many, many days ago when I said “Dame is more likely to request a trade because of our insane fan base saying crazy shit to him on Twitter.”

And here we are… possibly on the brink of just that happening.

 

I don’t think twitter is good for Dame. If you follow him, he almost always engages with the negativity he gets. It bothers him and it’s obvious. This isn’t a new development, it’s been like this for years. But this is something EVERY pro athlete that has an account experiences on some level. If I were his agent I would honestly advise him to just delete the app altogether.
