Its odd to me that Cronin supporters are saying he had to get rid of all the crappy Olshey contracts as justification for the team not improving. Meanwhile I see Norm Powell was an allstar on a universally praised contract Olshey left Cronin. But Cronin flipped Norm his first few months on the...

The Blazers have had times they've been very aggressively pushing the pace. They get some easy buckets and bait opponents into turnovers as well but the flip side is they have a lot of turnovers. That's why guys like Jrue are way higher this year than any other times of their career. If the...

So Billups sold his PDX house after his arrest and hasn't been here. Some posters have been saying the Blazers need to resolve Billups situation before hiring a full head coach in the summer. I don't believe they do, everyone knows Billups will have nothing to do with the Blazers there just...

AI thinks Simons and Ayton are still Blazers. Not to mention JJJ Bane Smart - none of which are on the Grizz.

I can name that for NBA teams but thats probably it. For sure I can't with MLB/NHL/MLS/F1/college basketball/college football. Not sure I can with NFL but there might be a couple teams that are close. Had a work event at fancy MLS suite but I'd have much rather watched a WNBA game and each...

The WNBA signed a 2.2 billion TV deal. Women college and youth basketball has a much bigger following than decades ago. Just because you and a bunch of old people on S2 don't follow it doesn't mean nobody else does.

Clingan playing? If Clingan is out does Scoot start again? Timelord? Its only like a 40 hour turnaround from Chicago with the early tipoff so maybe he plays tomorrow instead.

Nuts the NBA scheduled this game so early. I mean if it was two east coast teams then whatever. But when one is effectively 3 hours behind the other it's a massive disadvantages. Your body has a 24 clock, zacadian rhythm or whatever it's called. No way the Blazers can be at peak performance...

I think something along those lines would be a good type of compromise - have a few years the owners get a bit more to reimburse for prior losses then eventually the players get 50% for the long term. Even if they don't do that though the owners are getting a ton of appreciation in their...

Interesting tidbit on bucees - they spend nothing on advertising except for roadside billboards. I couldn't believe when I was on the freeway in California and saw this one Just imagine how many people pass this every day and have zero idea what its for.

We take our Tesla or Rivian to charge at Bucee a lot on long drives too - in addition to gas pumps they have like no exaggeration 50 Tesla superchargers at some of them and its a nice spot to browse for a snack or use clean bathrooms while you charge.

Your right that game 1 can have a team with a rest disadvantage. But thats kind of the benefit to being a higher seed or winning a series early. Still its never a back to back. All the following games have the teams even.

I've seen the signs in person many times for years at the Bucee's gas stations. Its not your 2 pump gas station next to a 7 eleven though, we do things bigger in Texas

There very nice gas stations, but yeah I was surprised when I saw the sign in person and it was over $200k

Yeah at this point I don't blame Barnes. He has been in power for 10 years, the worst decade in school history. Nobody seems to ever be questioning his performance - so why should he change what he's doing? Who the hell is allowing him to continue to run the Beavers athletics is at fault, and...
