    I always forget we're missing Ed Davis. I think he might've helped a bit against McGee.

    Neil Olshey needs to be held accountable

    He will gladly be fired so he can go somewhere with valet parking and better food.

    Here's one that surprises me: Dame is 7-26 from 3.
    Another: Dame is playing exactly 2mpg more than Turner, but Dame is -17.7 and Turner is ELEVEN POINTS BETTER at -6.7. We're getting KILLED with Dame on the floor. Maybe because that's when they play Curry, but still.

    I agree. He should be held accountable for not knowing that Ed Davis, Meyers Leonard, and eventually Nurkic would all suffer injuries. How could you not know, Neil!?!?!

    So you think its ok that his plan at back up center was Fabio?

    Injuries aside, this roster is really poorly constructed. If you disagree, fine

    Our center rotation at the beginning of the season Plumlee and Davis with Meyers as the third stringer. Obviously we were also hoping for Ezeli at some point. None of those guys are available right now :lol:

    Right. None are. Ezeli never was, and Davis stunk this year. All that is on NO. Giving Ezeli and Fabio contracts was bad. Have to do better if your goal is contending.

    Really? You think it's on NO that Davis stunk this year? Who would have predicted that he would tank so badly?

    Ed Davis is a career 6/6 guy. I can't imagine how he's didn't see tgst coming.

    We disagree. Get the last word in and let's move on

    Not surprising. Dames defense has been terrible.

    Surprised Turners is that low - he's one of the few that isn't playing 'in headlights' in the games so far.

    Olshey drafted Leonard - questionable
    Oshey re-signed Leonard - unforgivable

    I can't tell if it's Blazer fans in general that are starting to annoy the shit out of me.... or just a lot of the fans on this forum.

    Considering how rough the past 15+ years have been, it's amazing how spoiled and ungrateful some of the people are that follow this team. I also can't really wrap my head around the expectations that people have. Expectations for Neil, expectations for Dame, expectations for this series..... I just don't get it.

    I can tell you my expectations

    1. NO doesn't waste money on Meyers Fucking Leona_ and guys that have serious knee problems.
    2. He takes steps foward instead of back. He took over a shitty team with two lottery picks and jumped our record up to 54 wins. Then 51, then 44, then 41. We are going in the wrong direction. Aldridge wanted out, yet he held him and got nothing for him. Consistently losing win totals each year may be fine with some fans, but to me it's bad management. Either be better, or hit reset.
    3. For Dame my expectations are that he tries on defense
    4. For the series that we don't endanger the best center we've had since Sabas by playing him in a meaningless fucking game. He could have easily over compensated for his leg and hurt something ekse
