23-24 Media Day Interviews

[Eastoff]

Dude was struggling on those Dame questions. He knew they were coming.

I think that's a sign of humanity. He's not a sociopath like NO.

 

[Bob Dobalina]

Dude was struggling on those Dame questions. He knew they were coming.

Seemed to handle them pretty well though. He took deep breaths and tried to answer them carefully.

 

[julius]

So is it just gonna abruptly end like this every time?

I was wondering if that was just on my end. It dropped off in the middle of an answer, damnit.

 

[Natebishop3]

I think that's a sign of humanity. He's not a sociopath like NO.

I was thinking, they didn't sound rehearsed or written by a PR guy. Those are definitely his words.

Neil would have said something like, "Look... We had to bifurcate our roster based on proprietary information."

 

[illmatic99]

Interesting Nurk wasn't mentioned. I get even Nas, not to mention Keon, but Nurk was a big part of this team, too.

Don't think it was an intentional omission.

 

[julius]

Guh, did it again. Seriously Blazers, it's the year 2023.

 

[Natebishop3]

Interesting Nurk wasn't mentioned. I get even Nas, not to mention Keon, but Nurk was a big part of this team, too.

He said "Nurk was incredible here and we're gonna miss him."

 

[Propagandist]

The Scoot health thing is super annoying to me. Nobody ever definitively reported on his status. Lazy lazy lazy.

I suspect all franchises probably obfuscate, but at this time, with the technology and ease of dissemination, it feels shady when teams aren’t forthright.

 

[wizenheimer]

I think that's a sign of humanity. He's not a sociopath like NO.

I'll almost always give a +1 to any post that trashes Olshey....good job!

 

[blazerfan11]

Joe said Scoot and everyone else are fine health-wise

 

[Natebishop3]

I suspect all franchises probably obfuscate, but at this time, with the technology and ease of dissemination, it feels shady when teams aren’t forthright.

But I'm just annoyed that none of the local media ever really tracked it down.

 

[maxiep]

Interesting that Scoot has been in PDX since Summer League. That's fantastic to hear. No one asked about his shoulder directly, unfortunately.

 

[illmatic99]

Guh, did it again. Seriously Blazers, it's the year 2023.

Chauncey thanked Jody and her support for him and Joe.

Someone asked if everyone is healthy and the answer was YES

 

[maxiep]

He said "Nurk was incredible here and we're gonna miss him."

I missed that. Thanks for correcting me.

 

[maxiep]

Chauncey thanked Jody and her support for him and Joe.

"I'd like to start off by saying I really like my job and I would like to keep it."

 

[Natebishop3]

The KGW interview only has audio in my left ear... and the Fox stream only has audio in my right ear.....

 

[julius]

awesome, thanks!

 

[maxiep]

Someone asked if everyone is healthy and the answer was YES

I heard that, but I can't believe they didn't get into specifics. We have real questions about Scoot, Brogdon and Williams. There's even an issue with Shae. Ask about them individually.

The local media is more interested in "talking points."

 

[Quatro44]

facebook audio seems to work fine. try that link

 

[Bob Dobalina]

Yeah, seems the nba.com stream has the best audio. That youtube KGW stream is horrible audio-wise.

 

[maxiep]

Interesting answer by Chauncey talking about how not having "the guy" makes you less predictable. I'm beginning to hear and see that he's looking at a Pistons model. That idea hadn't occurred to me.

 

[blazerfan11]

It's also on simple YouTube. just look up Trailblazers.com in a search. I'm watching it on my AppleTV (media streaming box).

The problem is that kinda model very rarely wins championsips. In the last 25 yrs, the 04 pistons and the 14 spurs are the only teams that stand out as winning without "the guy."

 

[blazerfan11]

Chauncey seems to have been pestered last season when Dame didn't take a shot and instead passed the ball. ( I didn't know that. Is it true?)

Anyway, he feels free now to share the ball more this season without Dame.

Who was The Guy for the Spurs?

I think it has to be his answer right now. I'm not bothered by it.
