    I mean I could be just as rude to you here as you just were to me and ask"who told you they don't care"?
    But I won't..... Instead I'll do this.

    The post game and on the court reaction after the Utah game shows they want the playoffs.
    They were willing to risk money to criticize officials.
    A player or coach who doesn't care doesn't do that.

    It's obvious Meyers Leonard cared. The fact that booing effected him like it did shows that. The man continued to work on his craft and is a solid role player in the NBA now.
    Has flaws but so does every NBA role player. That's why they're not LBJ.

    Trying to be nice instead of posting like I normally do and give what I get.
    We'll see where it gets me

    lmao! Cause our struggles are all due to trading for Whiteside and not any injuries and Miami has been good because of Leonard and not the acquisition of Butler and their rookies playing well above their head?

    Now that's some funny stuff. Someone needs to call hobbs and get him his bucket of popcorn ready.

    I think if the team continues on its current path, Neil would consider firing Stotts. That is about as close to blowing it up as it gets for me.

    Yeah, I picture @Hobbesarable having one of those poppers like at Les Schwab that always has popcorn ready and kept warm.

    In answer to the thread title's question: if it's money, I think we can start a GoFundMe, and I'd certainly contribute.

    That would be foolish on his part, given that Stotts is the only guy who can squeeze wins out of the crappy roster he's built.

    A personal falling out between Dame and CJ is the only thing I could foresee that would cause Neal to completely blow up the team.

    Sparked or initiated by a hard core all-star sell from Dame for Booker and not CJ? ;)

    I think people are blowing the CJ/Damian friendship out of proportion. Are they friends? Sure. I also think there is nothing the Blazers could offer for Ben Simmons, except Lillard.

    I think if we don't make the playoffs this season Stotts is definitely gone. There where reports last summer that the Blazers considered firing him.

    Um, Stotts got an extension last summer. If you're talking about the summer prior to that one it was erased by the WCF trip last year.

    There is zero chance that Stotts gets fired this summer.

    Torey real question.
    When was the last time I tried to engage with you in a conversation/discussion.
    About anything? Yeah I don't remember, even tried to search my post history a bit. Maybe it was a game thread?
    I mean when that one poster who has since apologize was having a go at me. You responded with 'smh' and I told you to speak up.
    Saw a mod edited that post but I never saw anything other than 'smh'. Prolly a good thing.

    Anyway
    I really don't want to discuss things with you ever again. I did attempt to with your disdainful post. But that wasn't acceptable for you as I got the same bs.
    I have zero interest in interacting with anyone who was part of those teams anymore. That includes you.

    As far as I remember my last discussion with you was a game thread. I was pretty stand off-ish.
    It was childish but as I said. I don't want to talk with any of you anymore. Which is what I should've said in that game thread. Instead of force people to read between the lines.
    Actually I think I quoted eric in that game thread. Then you interjected your one word responses cause it's a public forum. Anyone can respond.
    But again, that was a bit ago and I can't find the posts via my post history.

    tl;dr Leave me alone.
