    Right but they used those draft assets you listed to acquire the piece(s) to get that title

    For those who have yet to watch, Episode 4 is titled "Who The F*** Is Jack McKinney?". Watch and learn a bit of Blazer history.

    Also John C. Reilly eats lobster wearing a bib and a swimsuit. Hilarious.

    I genuinely didn't know about Jack McKinney! So the Lakers stole showtime from the Blazers!

    Also didn't know that Paul Westhead taught English in college. Live and learn.

    Even Adrien Brody, who doesn't physically resemble Pat Riley much at all, has mastered his mannerisms. Looking forward to him transforming from sad-sack hippie to Mafia-Don-Who-Quotes-Sun-Tzu.

    Still a fun show!

    I didn't - just knew at some point something was going to happen, didn't know what caused the coaching change.

    I think the only thing I haven't liked about it was how they referred to the Blazers team that won a title as a "bunch of nobodies". Back then, most NBA teams had 1 star and several role players. Also I think they had McKinneys wife (? maybe it was a different character..maybe it was Gabby Hoffmans character) say something about how at least now they're going to a star team (the Lakers), when the year before the Lakers won a whole 2 games more than the Blazers did.

    Fun fact about the 79-80 season. The Lakers lost 1 season series that entire year.

    The team they lost the season series against?

    The Portland Trail Blazers. The Blazers won the series 4-2.

    Against the rest of the league the Blazers were 34-42. Against the rest of the league the Lakers were 58-18.

    I think they got confused and thought it was a story about baseball.

    LOLZ.

    I'm enjoying the hell out of the show. It's pretty clear that there are some things that are made up or highly exaggerated.

    Do I believe that Jerry West was a raging asshole? Don't care.

    Would I be upset if the Blazers hired Jerry West to help Cronin or whoever our next GM is? No. I would welcome him.

    That HBO series is not doing any damage to West. There are a ton of teams that would love to hire him.

    Not surprised he’s upset. They play him off as a desperate asshole.
