I found FanHome right after the Lakers/Blazers WCF, needing a place to vent. It was a much smaller place and the most active poster was a mod named Rose Gardner. Maybe he later shortened it to RG? Two names I haven't seen in a long, long time are Crimson and Hap Shaughnessy. There are some...

I recall having an exchange with him, probably during the height of the Jail Blazers era, where I excused some of the misdemeanors as youthful experimentation/invincibility. Something we're all guilty of in our late teen/early adult years to varying degrees. Not Talkhard though. Guy's been...

So, he made 16 threes and probably 1 layup. I know people are enamored with the three ball and find it transcending basketball, but it just reminds me of watching a pickup game at 24 Hour Fitness. No denying the guy has superb touch and it's a 200 million dollar skill, but I lose attention...

Without removing Olshey, admittedly, I wasn't excited or hopeful about this season. Thru five games, I'll give them credit, the team looks different. I haven't cross compared statistics (too wrapped up in baseball at the moment), but based on eyeball observation the defense looks way more active...

The worst thing for Portland fans is if Dame is traded right now. Presumably, they'd be announcing a new youth, reconstruction direction and plead for fan patience. And it would be yet another life preserver for Olshey. If he's bewitched Jody/Kolde this long, they'll easily go along with his new...

I think Olshey is on record as saying Allen insisted they retain Crabbe and that he felt it was too much. I'm disappointed Olshey is being retained and I don't think he can build a championship contending roster, but I agree Allen deserves some blame as well. His condition that he have a...

Far and away imo, and a fireable offense. It was pretty clear Aldridge was leaving, and even if he was truly undecided, you can't risk getting nothing as a GM. By the way, they probably should re-look the current system at the next CBA negotiation. Football and baseball have compensation plans...

To answer MM's questions: 1.) Yes. Olshey has been fending off his bosses and critics for years playing the injury and cohesion cards. He can no longer play it, so something will have to give. 2.) I expect Stotts to be fired, as that's the last ace card Olshey can play. You know, it was the...

If you want to get excited about something, look forward to a day when we have a very good GM. We aren't an all star or even superstar away. Eleven active spots need upgrading

I've been pining for Ujiri for awhile. Maybe it happens this time? Throughout the Allen era, we should have routinely had the best coaches and GMs in the league because we made them the highest paid coach/GM in the league. It never worked out that way, largely because of Allen and his condition...

No idea. This team looked left for dead last year prior to the epidemic, then looked like entirely different in the bubble. Deja vu this year, comparing April to our final few weeks. Just when you think they're out....you know the rest. They'll probably lose game 4 and get down 3-1. Then...

Good, entertaining game. Showed some heart, energy. I can't ask for much more from this team at the moment. The time to secure a 5th seed or higher was 30 games ago.

100% agree, they seem more comfortable dealing with it in the last month. Personally, I thought Dame was one of the problems, as often tried breaking it by dribbling and not utilizing his teammates. We're taught as kids there will always be a man open if you're doubled so find the open man and...

Ah yes..the missing link

I listen to A LOT of Dallas sports talk radio, and he's definitely gettable despite what Nelson/Cuban say in public. Dallas and Portland are like sister teams. Basically, two really talented players with flaws surrounded by a bunch of middling players and guys starting who shouldn't be starters...
