    Dude.... the Blazers are getting SLAMMED on Reddit for this Becky Hammon article. Everyone is saying they leaked this to try to deflect off the Chauncey hire.

    I'm betting on, "Look, clearly I'm not going to talk about this misconstrued narrative from 24 years ago, trust me, we've done our due dilligence and dotted all the i's and crossed the t's

    Neil should just say look at my track record of the type of people I’ve brought into Portland.

    This is the only part I don't think he would touch with a 10 foot pole. I don't think they'll make any kind of remark on whether it was true or not.

    I think he'd say something like "after talking with Chauncey and other sources, we still felt comfortable offering him the position."

    No not at all. I had no confidence in Cheeks from day one. Not near the strength, leadership or basketball intellect of Billups. That's like comparing Dame's leadership to Steve Blake.

    He has to publicly support the hire. And not get defensive when the predictable minority slam him over it. He needs to let it roll off his back like rain in April.

    Lotta idiots out there. Fortunately Reddit anger carries no weight. I stopped looking at Twitter last night, I was getting so annoyed. Want to come through my phone and slap people

    think you need to step away a bit. this is shockingly in alignment with how he talks and his is not the kinda personality to emulate

    Was he a 'leader' or just a magician? Although he was a good defender, he was not a great one. And high IQ??? I have listened to his basketball commentary when he was on the TV and I do not concur.

    never been on twitter, facebook or instagram. Hell, the OT section here can get one pissed easily enough.
    I honestly think anything to much can be bad for ones mind.
