Blazers Press Conference announcing new coach 6-29-2021

[Labinot41]

felt really bad for Billups, that was his day in front of his family and he did really well. But i felt uncomfortable for him.

 

[noknobs]

Jesus Christ, do they want the independent investigation read aloud or some shit?

Why not reveal the ladies name while they’re at it?

God those people are idiots. No matter what would have been said or done during the press conference that would have been their reaction. I thought Olshey and Chauncey handled it as well as they could have.

 

[illmatic99]

especially in front of his 3 daughters and wife

i wasn't referring to Quick's question, but this Anne Peterson's one about "why 5 yrs?" and "why not becky hammon?"

and the like.

the biggest idiots lol! It’s just comical at this point. Like walking into a drama class.

Anything less than complete transparency would not have been enough, even if there's no way to provide that level of information. These people already have the answer they want to hear, but even if they hear it, they will just criticize the truthfulness and sincerity of the details. There is absolutely no winning.

i wish it was just 45 readers, she is followed by members of the team and even people like Kevin Pelton this morning (an ESPN employee!) said he only found out about Billups' past from Blazersedge. They can do whatever the fuck they want, but just don't let it reach Dame.

How can anybody on Blazers Edge claim credibility when they are aggressively censoring any post that disagrees with them? Let's see them come in here and have a real debate on the issue!

it's not aggressively censoring, it's straight banning. i had an account there from 2008 that got the axe yesterday after pointing out the hypocrisy in their coverage.

 

[tykendo]

No...at the point that he asked his question it was time for a basketball question...he knew that too...and to all but one of the reporters...you might lead off with welcome Chauncey and your family to Portland...I was pretty disgusted with the lack of genuine good vibes from our media towards him and his family

At least Joe Becker and 2 other reporters said Welcome.

 

[blazedanugz]

That was huge. But they were also really young and their guys improved a lot. Definitely a mix of both though.

agreed but they win the championship in Steve Kerr’s rookie year as a head coach

 

[DDolla]

Looks like the PDX media don’t like Chauncey lol.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I didn't think Quick's question should have been cut off, and I don't think it was mean-spirited. But why ask the question? That was actually one thing Chauncey elaborated on quite a bit. How could he elaborate more? Too bad that it is what people in the media are focus on now. Big mistake to mess with the press. They will always get the last word in.....at some point. I am sure Canzano will write an article on it.

 

[riverman]

Looks like the PDX media don’t like Chauncey lol.

They sure aren't helping Dame's happiness with the fucking ghost dancing for dirt ...I'm sick of some of these hacks with microphones

 

[Labinot41]

Imagine: The Fans chant "rapist" in home games. Bruh that would be like the absolutely fucking worst scenario

It was a stupid question. The answer would just be more verbal masterbation. They were right to cut if off.

If Portland fans actually chant that well I'm not going to finish what I was about to say because it is too political so instead I'll say how sad what a once great city has become.

 

[RR7]

I don't think it was the greatest performance ever by Neil, but what happened that has someone "still shaking" from it, seriously? How overly dramatic.

 

[B-Roy]

I'm pretty curious how many of these "fans" will attend the games. Twitter has a habit of blowing things out of proportion because you only see the people that are vocal enough to tweet.

Dia, short for diatribe.

no integrity anymore . Seems its a race to throw something out there that may stick regardless how it can effect people.

Insert Eddie Money's Sha sha sha shakin'

 

[DDolla]

All of this will be forgotten when we start winning again and All Praise to Chauncey. Media folks complaining right now will just say “Great Hire”

Im glad Im not married to that gal....feelings on her armsleves. My wife is a toughen up and get over it.....move on, type of gal. Love that about her. She can drop a deer at 200 yards w/o a scope.

 

[royo]

Well. Fuck those hyenas. Every decent man know, all they want now is every single smallest detail of incident. That's just where they are now in their heads. Zombie hyenas.

And well, happy days to be Blazer fan again. I was on change coach train for 5 years. Billups is the guy I believe in. What I heard about more Nurk ad more Lillard and CJ without the ball was really great. All in all, I am really fuckin excited. Future is bright.

[Pinwheel1]

I hate to do this, but there is no way the media would have treated a white coach this way.

I really don't think in this one specific instance that race is a factor. Not when it comes to the media. Chauncey is a pretty likable guy. This could have gone much worse.

It almost sounds like a parody. IM LITERALLY SHAKING

 

[DDolla]

Is there any media person out there Welcome Chauncey to PDX?

 

[LayneStaley]

We turned into the Knicks over night, WTF

 

[illmatic99]

Anne Peterson is not asking a white guy "why five years" in such a blunt manner

 

[Hoopguru]

The guy doesn't wear the name Dylan well.
