HCP -- Don't just Don't

Defending Cronin will end bad for you cause I am done dealing with the Croninites who defend this clown and a small part of the old me will return if this happens cause I am sick and tired of watching this shit show created by Cronin and led by a fool in Billups. This is the last chance for Cronin to show he has a pulse if he cannot make some chicken salad of the chicken shit he has brought in. If he cannot then I am going to lead a boycott of this team next year if Billups is still the coach and maybe him too. Sometimes you have to destroy something you love to rebuild it and I will go full mass destruction on the Blazers if things do not change by start of next season.

At the end of the day, the only thing we control is if we give the team money or not.

I have chosen to not give them money. For years now. All the other stuff just puts me further into apathy since I can't control it lol.
 
Fans have a voice and if they do not use it then then are almost as to blame as the idiots making the bad choices. If the fan base just sits back and accepts the crap handed to them then nothing will change but if you stop going to the games and stop watching on TV and stop buying merch then that sends a loud message . The fans have got to force Jody and whoever runs this to do something or we will be a joke and PA is prolly rolling over in his grave atm.

I want to clarify I am not blaming the fans ( yet ) but we are very near a tipping point where the fans needs to stand up for what they love cause Cronin and co. have had enough time to do something since the Dame trade and have done very little.

Cronin has done a great job. He made the decision to tank and get us three studs in Sharpe, Scoot, and DC. Didn’t capitulate to Miami and got us Jrue instead of Herro for Dame and flipped him and a pick for Deni and Robert Williams. Got us Camara. Built a small team into the tallest in the NBA.

What do you want him/her to do? We’re acquiring top level talent and letting them develop while tanking for one more top talent. IMO, when they all develop into stars and we start winning, YOU are not allowed to root for them because you were against the process used to get them.

The process started before the Dame trade getting us Sharpe and Scoot. Trades then got us Camara, RW, and Deni. Got us DC in draft. Will get us one more stud this year.

Two??!! I like him but not for 2. Does OKC really need him?

Depends. Is the “1st round pick” a top 10 pick or a 23rd pick?

“1st round pick” is as generic as “future considerations” or the term “cash”.

yeah. OKC has the assets to spare and then some. Wouldn't even feel giving up two FRP.
 
Jerami Grant and Duop just pulled up……as they got out of their respective cars, they gave each other a HUGE hug and then walked up the ramp together. Hmmm?

Are they now playing for the Bulls?
 
This Jazz/Pels game is fantastic.
99-97 Jazz up with 7 minutes left. Not sure who I’m rooting for.
 
Nah, go Jazz. Gonna be harder for them to get enough wins to pass the Blazers.
 
Now with Zion back, I’m cool with the Pels winning and moving up past us
 
Super random, but is anyone else surprised that Kevin Johnson isn’t in the hall of fame? He averaged over 20 points and 10 assists several times, 3 time all-star, 5 time All-NBA, finals appearance… what gives?

Basketball-reference is not surprised.

I think the main problem for him was that while he basically averaged 20/10 over a 9 year stretch, he only overaged 66g/year over that stretch, and was never really "elite".
