    I love getting to know people on here personally and would also like to know what others do for a living.

    However, I don't think it's right to put down someone's posts because they live with their parents or don't have a great job. So it needs to come from a good place.

    We don't blame you Dame. This is squarely on Stotts shoulders, he's driving, he crashed the car. Should have utilized his fresh utility players Collins especially and focused on Defense instead of letting Conley torch us for the 5 millionth time!

    One of the best things Pop does is ride his bench hard all season long demanding they're just as good as the first unit and playing the right way (solid ball movement and tough nosed defense). Becomes crucial when your first unit is gassed during a road trip or deep in the playoffs when you need to add a wrinkle or substitute for an injury.

    For the record, I own a retail store in the Beaverton/Hillsboro area. We'll have been open for 7 years in May. Things are going pretty well other than the amount of time I have to put into it takes a toll on the family. Recently there was someone interested in purchasing it so I had the business valuated and it is worth a decent chunk of change but I'm not ready to give up being my own boss quite yet even though the thought of having a more normal life and schedule does have some appeal.

    I work as a Software Engineer for a robotics company, not as cool as owning my own business though.

    Also HJ that's pretty awesome, I'll be visiting your store soon because all my kids have birthday's coming up.

    You and HJ man. Really enjoy reading your guys posts and discussing basketball with yall.

    It's also funny how things change on here when you meet someone off the forum. We need more meetups.

    Yeah that's what I'm pursuing. Theres something about working my ass off to make someone else a fortune that I hate. Itd have to be something that I absolutely love to do. Not the easiest mindset going forward but it's also motivating.

    In 5 years from now, I hope I can show everyone who's told me "Get a real job" or sent that type of negativity my way why they were wrong.

    I believe its 1, because I havent given you shit in a year or two over your job, and when I gave you shit, it wasnt as serious as you made it out to be.

    I agree with this more than you could ever imagine. Different places in your life does not mean anything more than that. I have had a bunch more time to create what i have than others. And some have been more creative than i about how they have lived. I try to look at someone for where they are going and from where they have come from. Not really where they might be at the time.

    Honest question, do you think NO has told Stotts to play ET?
    I know there are those who say ET plays because he gets paid so much. I'm not sure I'm fully on board there, but it would sure look bad if ET was relegated to a bench warmer.

    I have a few business ideas that I want to try when my kids are a bit older, but being a small business owner is pretty stressful too, hope you can get the TrueBF channel and your other ventures going.

    Not sure if it's true or not but Stotts has always maintained that he doesn't really get involved in personnel decisions and Olshey never tells him how to coach or who to play.

    Yeah, I've always heard that. I guess I don't have any "evidence" otherwise. Sometimes though it seems like they're trying really, really hard to make ET work. I'm not sure if they would do that for a guy on a minimum contract, but who knows.

    No, NO doesnt control the lineup. Just look at him getting rid of Ed so Terry had to play Zach.
