It's a Hawaiian word used to derisively describe white people.

Yeah. I googled it but the result was about anyone non native and then it said especially white people. Not sure if there is some grey area or different definitions.

Obviously respect the opinion, just a question. What would constitute keeping him / firing him next year? Is it like he better get in the 2nd round?
Just wondering. Like I said I think he’s a good coach.

I just posted that to get the convo back on Stotts tbh. I'm on the fence with him staying or going at this point. Unless there was a great suggestion regarding his replacement, I just don't know...

Yeah, I wouldn't mind them going after Mark Few, or someone "youngish" from a good College program. I don't really want a retread. However, I am kind of ok with giving him another year. The Defense (which was the big complaint) got better...

Mark Few would be a fool to leave Gonzaga. I'd be more interested in Jay Wright.

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

A highly competitive nature and a desire to tank do not go together. It would be like asking a minister to shoplift.
 
Ettore Messina guys... Can we please get Ettore Messina?

Neil took a nice nap while Budenholzer was available, but what's his excuse for not considering Messina? The guy might be a top 3 coach in the league, he was HIGHLY regarded in Europe...the guy who schooled other coaches and then he had Pop as a mentor...

Budenholzer would've been a great fit for our team tho, the guy looks like he's disgusted by every play lol

@Mayers
@Aminu leading fast breaks
@Nurkic close range attempts

That’s how I imagine I look when my two year old tells me, “daddy I pooped”.

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

Which could mean a lot of things.


We had a lot more success after losing Drexler than we were supposed to, but those resulted in first round exits for like 6 years in a row.


We went lottery and got 3 star players. 2 of which had unusually short careers. This also resulted in a lot of first round exits.


We had a lot more success after losing Aldridge than we were supposed to, which resulted in some first round exits...


We have had a lot of first round exits using both strategies.
 
After Drexler left, Sabas got here, then Sheed. Not really a rebuild

As for Aldridge, Roy and Oden, while it obviously didn't work out, you know what the entire city and fan base had.....hope. Can you honestly say you have any hope that someday this roster will dominate?
 
Detroit wanted a coach that reached the finals: not another that took a pay check for 82 games. In the least, Terry got his teams into playoff berths for the last two years.

This. Could have been special.

Bro...Where is the first part of my wonderfully crafted sentence?

Oh, were you referring to the LEASTERN conference and Terry's first HC gig? Sorry, I chalked up the first part of your sentence as being a grammatically incorrect version of "at least"...

I don't see any reason to break it up and start over now. If we can trade Lillard or CJ and get better I'm all for it.

If we're trading them in the hopes of tanking and rebuilding through the draft I'm not into it.

Dame actually does give me some hope. I think he is a legit NBA super star. Honestly, the main thing that takes the "hope" out of the room is how good GS is right now. Not much the Blazers can do about that.
Hopefully salary cap, and ego, and age wear down GS enough that in a few years NO will have put enough around Dame that they can have a couple years of being legit title contenders with Dame.
I know my patience with NO is basically at 0, but he obviously has PA's vote so mine doesn't count.
