    I was very tempted to title this thread "Dame: Mr Popular" as a nod to the former Blazer with whom he strikes such a contrast.

    Congrats Dame!!

    Congrats to Dame. I'm sure he would rather be in the second round 201703262310834399484.jpg

    Is there any doubt that Dame would be a full blown superstar if he was playing in Chicago or NY or LA?

    I love how this makes Canzano look like the bitter, incompetent, shit stirring hack he is.

    None. He'd be an MVP candidate.

    The voters were afraid of being kicked in the balls.

    Canzano can suck a huge bag of huge dicks!

    Our guys voluntarily give 100% of their playoff shares to the support staff and Canzano thinks this team has bad culture. What a clueless dickhead.

    But, but, but... Canzano didn't, in his one trip to the Moda Center this season, personally see Damian Lillard hand the checks to the support staff. So, it probably didn't happen.

    Is there any way we can start a Fire Canzano campaign, based on his completely inaccurate "reporting" of the Blazers culture, without actually giving him the public attention he craves. Can we start sending emails or good old fashioned letters to the powers that be threatening a boycott if they don't fire this tool?

    Clearly he has an ax to grind and even more clearly, he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. Getting facts right, even for a "columnist" who writes opinion pieces, is every journalists duty. If your opinion doesn't at least have a basis in facts, it's worthless. This is clearly the case with Canzano. He decided he was going to write an anti-Blazers hit piece and didn't even bother to try to base it on anything factual.
