Blazers Denied Pistons Permission to Interview Terry Stotts

[e_blazer]

Glad to hear you’re doing okay, lawai’a.

Man, I am so bummed by the loss of the Kapoho tide pool area. That was one of the most beautiful places on the planet. All filled in with lava and the new shoreline about a mile farther out. SMH. Nature (or Pele) gives and takes. I’m really feeling for people on that side of the island.

mahalo, and you're feelings for those impacted are well founded. over 600 homes, orchid farms and papaya farms gone, acid mist higher up 4000' ocean view has wiped out protea growers farms there too. 5-6 years to regrow orchids same for proteas. my friends plants were 12-15 years old that she harvested cut flowers from. anyway thank you everyone and sorry for hijack.

Should've found a way to attach ET to Stotts contract then traded them to Atlanta then hired Messina.

Power Moves...

How about when they were missing the playoffs every year?

Now we're one of the youngest teams in the league, and we're making the playoffs every year...

Is rather get a lottery pick than swept in the first round every year... this team has no hope until they trade CJ

Take that broken record to another damn thread...

 

[Mediocre Man]

It always makes me somewhat sad when fans criticize other fans for wanting their team to win a championship.

If that were happening in this thread, I'd feel similarly.

It does. Dviss calls out Gronk because he wants a lotto pick instead of getting swept in first round. Both want a title

when have the Blazers been swept in the first round every year? Pretty stupid statement, but then again ......

Dog... Really??

I'm a bit confused. Is hole a racist term?

It was obviously hyperbole, but you knew that.

Portland has made the playoffs 34 times in their existence. 23 of those playoffs ended in first round losses.

Almost 70% of the time, Portland loses in the first round if they make the playoffs.

As for swept.....Um no

I had no idea that hyperbole meant stupid post.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I'm pretty sure I've acted like my two year old on here enough that most of you know how I feel.
I will say I think there is a "chance" NO can upgrade the depth and make moves to bring in another quality starter, without trading CJ / Dame / Nurk.
Dame hasn't been great in the playoffs, and this post-season just sucked, but Dame is a legit super-star. CJ has inadequacies but there are 20 teams (at least) that he'd be a starter or the 6th man for. Nurkic is young, and has shown a lot of the inconsistencies that comes with that, but he can play. Will he ever be a top 5 center? I don't really think so but I think he could be a starter on a winning team (he was this year), and I think he will continue to work hard and get better. I do have some concerns about his maturity (he basically quit and got fat in Denver), but he lost that weight and appears to be working hard, and happy in Portland.

Now this thread is about Stotts, and well he's going to be here next year, and there were some good things he did this year (even though I like to give him crap), the defense was much better. So I can understand the "give him another year" people.

Anyways I enjoy being a broken record too. If they don't do much this summer and come back and get knocked out in the 1st round again next year. I'm going to make it onto a lot of people's ignore lists or take a few weeks off from posting, might be better if I just take a month off at that point...

You don't agree with him. Hyperbole can still be used to make his point. MM posted the first round exit stats and they were actually worse than I expected.

 

[HailBlazers]

If only we had a wealthy owner who wanted to win a championship.

Thanks for proving my point even though it wasn't necessary. Back to ignore for you.

I don't deal in hyperbole with posters like gronk. It is either true or it's not. In his case, it wasn't.

Very tedious. Just as annoying to us.

No different than many of your posts.
