Dame “not making demands of any kind” on hiring of Blazers’ next head coach, per @sam_amick

[blazerkor]

The fuck does this mean?

It just means hold yourself to a high standard whether people are looking or not. Nothing cryptic just Dame talking about being a good dude like he does.

...but he captioned it "Sucka Duckin." so that leads me to believe he doesn't think someone is being solid. Could it be N.O. he is referring to? Or is it just normal offseason personal type messaging? Or maybe it's just referring to a boxer or something?

neil not taking dame's calls would be the easiest way for him to get fired.

im hoping it's jkidd he's referring to. maybe kendrick perkins.

ugh

i hate that we're decoding cryptic IG posts instead of talking smack about the coach at halftime of this second round series game.

Could be talking about the press conference from today.

It's probably meant for someone that he doesn't want us to know about, who will know that they're being one thing in front of people and another thing in private.

at first I thought it wouldn't be Dame's way to talk about Olshey like that

but then I thought, even if Dame was ok with Stotts being fired, and I'm assuming he was, everything I've seen says Dame likes and respects Stotts a great deal. And if that's the case, the way Olshey trashed Stotts all thru that press conference could have really rankled Dame, a lot. Especially because Olshey was so busy dodging any accountability for himself....you know, duckin blame. And especially if Olshey has had any discussions recently with Dame when he didn't stab Stotts in the back so repeatedly. It was a pretty slimy performance by Olshey. I'm actually hoping Dame was referring to it. Maybe that would reach the numbskulls in Seattle and get some necessary gears turning

If that is what it was about I don't think Dame is the kind of person that keeps that to himself. I bet he'd get on the line with Jody or Bert and make his feelings about it known.

I hope you're right...

 

[wizenheimer]

I hope you're right...

well...this is me since it became clear Olshey wasn't getting fired:

 

[BBert]

The fuck does this mean?

To me it means integrity.

Oh. That's good. Didn't see the sucka duckin part.

Take that Olshey!

I'm not so sure the numbskulls in Seattle could decipher that.

 

[blazerkor]

I'm not so sure the numbskulls in Seattle could decipher that.

If that was a dig at Olshey, I think Dame is the type that will talk to Seattle directly. If he feels like Olshey is a reason why he may not want to be here in the future.

 

[wizenheimer]

I'm not so sure the numbskulls in Seattle could decipher that.

like Blazerkor said, if that was really Dame upset with Olshey, he may very well be inclined to talk to Seattle himself

wishful thinking though

 

[BBert]

If Paul were still here, Dame definitely would. I don't know that Dame has any relationship at all with the skaliwags running this ship.

The whole thing is wishful thinking but the idea that Dame would make his feelings known is not. That seems to be the type of guy he is. I could see him reaching out to Jody the same way he did Paul.

for sure

and the way Olshey treated Stotts in that presser could not have gone over very well with Dame. Might not gone over real well with several Blazers. Not Nurk though...

It means he watches Firefly:

It means he watches Firefly:

I would guess it means stay focused regardless who's watching or not, and who's pissed & bitching or not, or who's supportive or not?
