I still maintain that Paul Allen must have stolen Dwight Jaynes' best girl. Because up to the mid-to-late 90s Jaynes was fulsome in his praise of the Blazers every move, embarrassingly so. Then all of a sudden not only did Portland do everything wrong, they did everything wrong retroactively - I remember him slamming the Blazers, about 6 years after the fact, for taking Clifford Robinson in the second round. He even blamed the team for things totally beyond their control (a Rose Garden concert had to be cancelled when a band member got sick). Now he just makes shit up. He's the sports version of birthers. No matter how many times Paul Allen says he's not selling the team, Dwight Donald Trump Jaynes says he knows the team really is for sale.
Can't think of any basketball related reason for the turnaround, got to be personal. Come on Dwight, get over it, she's probably married to some other dude and has 3 kids by now!
