    I watch the game both players probably shouldn't done what they did. Zach was having actually a pretty good game at that point. He was 10/9/3 and just drove by joker for a lay in and hit a 3 pointer. Sometimes to get even you do it by going down and do something to help your team. But when you talk shit after a play majority of players going to take offense to it and especially when porter only had 5 points at that time.

    I am fine with what Zach did. No punches were thrown, no groin shots, no injury risking foul etc. And maybe it charged up the Spurs enough to win it?

    they find them by doing their work AND, not wasting 6 first round picks in 6 straight drafts...like Olshey

    I mean..... Olshey was great at finding sleeper picks. That was probably his best trait actually.

    Simons
    Connaughton
    Barton
    CJ
    Allen Crabbe
    Zach Collins
    Jake Layman
    Gary Trent Jr
    Nas

    He was great at drafting guards. Most of those guys have had long NBA careers.

    Did you really just put Zach Collins on that list?

    he had some 2nd round magic; 1st round was mostly disaster

    as for his 2nd round picks, his follow-ups sucked. He traded Barton and a 1st for Afflalo. He matched the idiot offer sheet for Crabbe and the stain of that mistake (Nicholson) is still on the Blazer books 3 years after Crabbe is out of the league and 6 years after he was traded. For some reason, Olshey declined to re-sign Connaughton so he signed with the Bucks for a minimum deal. Layman was an overrated scrub who Olshey drafted ahead of Georges Niang. And he traded Trent for Powell so Powell could be a full-time SF....geeeeezuz

    It kinda sounds like you're saying Olshey was a dumpsterfire of a GM.

    A dumpster fire is over fairly quickly and the smell only lasts a few days. That term is too kind for Neil.

    I never said he was a good GM. I’m just saying he was decent at drafting.

    An assistant. Sean Miller was the head coach at Arizona the whole time Damon was there. He did coach at Pacific before going to Boston.

    Well that Boston head coach being a complete nutjob might have something to do with it, but a great move for Damon.
