Coaches always get fired in the end, so "fire another coach" doesn't really make sense. Nothing with Chauncey has anything to do with Terry. Chauncey has this year to prove himself. He's not off to the greatest start.
I'm discussing the style of play last night and you come in here bringing up Eric and my "fans" then try to say I'm muddying the waters? Hahaha. You literally made this about my co-host, "fans", my work and threw in a dig for good measure, when I'm just talking ball. Then you complain about me not answering a question when your first statement was you telling me what my answer to it would be?
Why are you complaining about me not answering something you think you already have the answer to? Why are you randomly going after Eric? This shit is WEIRD bro.
So as expected you gave a very vague answer that all coaches get fired in the end. Then muddied the water a bit by bringing up Stotts. Strangely left out the GM part? Ownership is a toss up I guess?
That comment was not to you. You are now forever attached to your partner. Even when you go your separate ways. Your partner and through association YOU decided to get vulgar and out of line on Twitter towards me. Sorry but that makes you fair game. Deal with it. You are very welcome to put me on Ignore and Block me. I have never done anything but support you and your partner in your work, but he and again by association you, decided that was not good enough for you. When someone has a different opinion your partner and by association YOU, tell people to "Fuck Off" and continue your emotional tirades online. It's childish. People don't let their emotions control their intellect when they are trying to build something like you are building.
Like the time you identify some corn in your doodoo
Blazers are friendly to each other. We don't see teammates throw hissyfits amongst themselves. Billups has encouraged a fun, happy, stay positive basketball family. Sometimes the team can even win a game or 2. What more could an NBA owner want ?
That play looked innocuous
It did to me also? Not sure how he came up with Bone and Ligament damage from that play? Also the reports are kind of confusing? Why would they consider a "Clean Up" surgery to get him back in 2-3 months? Why not just call him out for the year and get an injury exception while taking care of the injury and rehabbing correctly from the beginning? He has enough talent and he is on contract long enough to go through the motions to take care of him. To me doing anything less would be a waste of time? This team isn't competing this year. Perfect time for him to get healthy if it's at all possible.
This season should be all about developing Sharpe and Scoot and getting the most out of Ayton.Listening to Billups after the game; he is asking Grant to take a lot more shots with Anf out. So, for those that this is bothersome, shouldn't be permanent. I wonder if Billups will ask Grant to get more rebounds now that Williams is out?
You brought up Stotts by saying "another coach".
We're different people bro. If you can't talk to me without talking about HoopsJock like we're physically joined at the hip, then I don't want to conversate with you. You and Eric had a squabble and you're blaming me for it through association? That's ridiculous.
Because he's had three seasons already with different rosters, and style of play isn't solely determined by the amount of offensive talent on the roster. A less talented roster has even less of a reason to resort to iso-heavy hero-ball, yet we're seeing that again even though he had "his guys" going into the season.
At this point I think Chauncey is a really talented defensive coordinator but not really a needle moving head coach. I think he has all the right intentions and just not enough of a playbook or sense of sense of the endgame to actually excel at head coaching. We could do better but I don't think they'll pay him for years left on his deal like they did Terry Stotts.
I asked if you wanted to fire another coach. That is not bringing up Stotts. That is asking if you want to fire the current coach Chauncey Billups.
You don’t seem to understand how the internet and Twitter work?
What is "another" in reference to then?
Yeah, I literally read it back while making this post. I have a question: why did you make a conversation I was having about the Blazers offensive lulls about an argument you and Eric had a month ago?
You are right. I should not have done that. I also should really not put you in that position.
All good, appreciate the apology. I was a participant in this forum before my platform existed, at this point I try and keep the two separate and just talk ball.
It’s still a good forum. I need to keep myself in check at times and try to keep it that way.
They'd both compliment each other if they worked together actually, one is a top offensive coach and one is a top defensive coach. I like Chauncey's culture but he's gotta get on a winning track going into year 3...by then you're no longer supposed to be a rookie coach or somebody "learning" how to coach. I don't think he'll be fired at all but his record is pretty anemic at this point.
