I went there and the first sentence is "introducing bibigo" which reminds me of the old Oregon trail joke:

Somewhere after the Rockies there was a fork in the road. A sign said on top said "Oregon" with a right facing arrow, below it a picture of a pot of gold and a left facing arrow. Those that could read, went to Oregon.

The 2nd joke of course is why are cops always going in pairs? One can read, one can write.

Apparently, the Lakers writers can't write but it does not matter, since their fans can't read.

First interview before official questions

 

[Mr. Robot]

cant wait to see what my guy neil olshey has in store for us

 

[illmatic99]

Dame and Chauncey met in the summer in Portland and worked out together. Great to hear.

On Billups:

"I want to be a part of his success and he wants to be a part of mine. It's something that I'm going to burden myself with and will take pride in for myself. Hopefully our season can get off to a great start. "

Terrific quote from Dame and you can see the genuine conviction.

Neil is on now btw. https://www.nba.com/blazers/now

Here’s the NEILO bingo card for his talk;

 

[illmatic99]

And there is Sean Highkin asking a gotcha question about Billups and the investigation. Sigh.

"I know why YOU would ask this question."

 

[illmatic99]

Team and staff all fully vaccinated.

Excellent news.

I wanna shove that idiot into a locker, seems like his classmates in school missed the assignment.

 

[illmatic99]

Neil seemed completely resistant to breaking up Dame/CJ yet again. Skirted around a good Quick question by hiding behind Billups unlocking things that we haven't seen in the duo. There could be some truth to this, but there is a very clear ceiling to the pairing when you spend 75 mil on just those two.

[illmatic99]

Billups recognizing and articulating how Dame/CJ can have synergy. Ball movement, being less predictable, passing better. PAINT TOUCHES to create lobs and corner threes.

Thank you for the genuine and candid recognition of their limitations on OFFENSE.

Love it.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Billups is a great interview - loving all he's saying. Whether he can bring all of this to fruition is another matter.

 

[illmatic99]

I don't think we'll take 15.

14 is it. Both Neil and Billups all but confirmed it.

 

[Scalma]

Billups is pretty much the voice of this board when talking about what the team needs to be better at, etc, so if we’re going down, let’s go down together.

why is this jabroni getting interviewed lolz

 

[illmatic99]

And Highkin still asking McGowan on the Chauncey investigations. Dude.... come on

Don't remember McGowan getting interviewed on media day previously.

Seth MacFarlane is great! Who doesn't love Family Guy!

 

[illmatic99]

[tiredhunter]

I want Billups and LaMarcus to have an educational podcast together, titled 'You know."
