Netflix to do a Jail Blazers doc (1 Viewer)

[SlyPokerDog]

I've heard from several friends, coworkers, and guys on the local radio that it's terrible, a waste of time. Doesn't offer any new info. It's all about Sheed and Damian and them making excuses. I'm not going to watch it. And as someone else said, the fact that Crapzano is in it further makes me want to avoid it.

Just watch it.

I enjoyed it. Especially every time Bob Whitsitt talked. When I sit down for a documentary I don't only watch ones that I don't know anything about.

Sheed has an infectious personality. Damon is homegrown and it was awesome hearing about his love for the city. And Bonzi has personality too.

Definitely think folks should watch.

Would love to see them make more Blazer documentaries in the future. Maybe a Roy one where he talks about how hard it was to let go of his career.

That's on the coach.

Sheed didn't have those problems at North Carolina.

And it didn't have those problems at Detroit.

Dean Smith and Larry Brown got what they needed out of Sheed.

I always thought Dunleavy was a shit coach.

I don't think Dunleavy had the power to punish him.

I honestly think it was on his teammates.

Criticism of Dunleavy is justified. I thought he did as well as could be expected with that group. I'm not sure what else could have been done.

I think college is way different. Sheed had no leverage in college.

Sheed was a problem for Detroit as well. Though, he was better behaved than in Portland. But he wasn't their focal point. And he was really focused the first 6 months. And that's the only time they had any real success.

You could be right, and Mike could have done more. These were just my impressions. I certainly don't have any inside info.

*Edit* I honestly think Sheed did as well as he did in Detroit, because Portland finally punished him. By dealing him to a team that didn't even really want him.

Remember, Chuck Daley and Phil Jackson got 4 rings out of Rodman.

The right coach could have won with that team, including Rasheed. We had the talent.

Dunleavy definitely wasn't a Phil Jackson or Chuck Daley.

I was watching a podcast the other day with the three of them and Matt Barnes. When Dunleavey came up, didn't sound like Sheed was a fan of his. Wonder if that had something to do with his issues here? or what caused them to not see eye to eye.

Sheed never liked Dunleavy and undermined him every chance he got.

That was a huge part of the problem, IMO.
