    I think a lot of times older fans and posters are out of touch with the current climate not just of the players that are available, but the way the game is played. It makes sense though because our way we identify with the game starts with our experience in watching the NBA. It's like people who grew up in the golden era of the Center they get locked in on still trying to find the next great low post center yet the game has changed and it's not the #1 priority of teams anymore. Or latching on to guys who were great 5 years ago etc...etc...

    Just because I wanna talk about it means I am not mellow? this is the line of thinking I am talking about. The therapy joke made sense though also not funny. The jump to serial killer? like alright. Saying I am actually mellow means no self awareness how so? Do you hear the tone in which i say my words? no you don't so how can you assume I am saying something in a certain way? you just assume I am angry. Okay that's great

    I don't know what you want exactly? I made a joke. You didn't find it funny. Cool. This is a message board. I don't know you. I'm not actually passing judgements on you, or anybody else, but sometimes the constant bitching can be a little much. That's it.

    Sorry bro, but I think you are the one who's over reacting and "over your head". Calm down buckaroo! :cheers:

    I don't know. I am old and I identify with it all. I have watched the Blazers from day 1 and I embrace the change. I saw Walton and Kareem battle it out, but I also saw LaRue and Dale Schlueter stink it up. Saw Rick Barry with his underhand free throws and Dr. J with his dunks. But I have always enjoyed watching guards fill it up from deep. Geoff Petrie was my first Blazer idol as a kid. Saw him go for 46 his rookie year before there was a 3 pt line. I just love watching pure shooters like Dame, CJ and even Steph.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Do you just randomly insert "social justice warrior" any time you rant about things you don't like or something?

    I'll agree with that. The guy is a classic salesman/con man. Not as unhappy with his job performance as many here, but not a fan of this narcissistic personality type.

    I read variations of this general complaint about Olshey frequently on this site. I don't see it. I think he's a shyster who would trade his own mother. But then again, I have no way to really know what's going on in his head.

    No it's a comparison to the social justice warrior bandwagon that occurs. There is a very small issue, People jump on it like it's a big deal. It's not

    I wonder which GM in the league is most likely to call a player into his office to "Have a talk", only to tell them that he likes the way they are progressing and looks forward to having them here long term.

    Probably Vlade or Mikhail
