Ropp Nails It

[Orion Bailey]

HUGE difference starting with They Won a Title. So in the past 7 years they haven't won a Playoff series while Portland has won 2....one on a historically magical shot from 30' and the other with their 2 best Players injured after it was tied 2-2 but the Clips still had HCA. Think if they are healthy and with 2 of three games at home the Blazers win that series?

So both franchises have been incredibly irrelevant but at least they have a title to show for it. And they may be a hodgepodge of a roster but they are still 2 games up in the loss column on us when we have a 1st team all-nba player and another guard who supposedly gives us a top-3 back court in the NBA. Then add in a better than average center and the Blazers should have advantages over a lot of teams that are above them in the standings.

Clearly, how Portland is doing it isn't working either.....and that is with one of the top salary's in the league.

Seems like you are putting the cart before the horse though. Tanking didn't get them a championship. So to say they have one in the last 7 and we don't has no relevance on their tanking or if we do or not and the outcome it might bring.

Thing is, it was very impressive 2 seasons ago, a little worrisome last, and a hell of a mixed bag this year. At this time though, a full tear down looks more like packaging the team up to sell, rather than taking the shortcut through hell. (Also, the NBA isn't Baseball or Football, and changing a teams trajectory is a chancy proposition at best)

This post is tongue-and-cheek with a hint (or more) of truth:

What's sad is that I'M one of your best unbiased Blazers "media" source. You got Quick behind a paywall, BlazersEdge (specifically Dave) and Ropp and his show holding a personal grudge against Olshey and base content around it... Blazers Outsiders, what would be a solid podcast, is being miscast as a pre-game/post-game show and using a camera for their "bar" set that's worse than my cellphone. Rip City Project who has good content but doesn't get enough traction.

We have Rip City Radio and True Blazer Fan. But I don't count the morning edition of Rip City Radio because of that "ding" bell sound effect they constantly play make it impossible to listen to for me.

So Chad Doing/Travis Demers and me. It's not even me being cocky, it's how sad I think the state of media surrounding the Blazers is. And Chad knows his stuff but I don't think he knows the CBA like me, or knows the intricacies of the game like I do. I definitely know he doesn't have the same amount of NBA player / prospect knowledge I do.

True Blazer Fan is the rebellion, or something. I dunno. Just wish it could become more mainstream as a legitimate alternative. We're trying to get there. Give me a couple years, guys.

And to the people that I'm told pay attention to my posts or whatever, remember the first line... Or don't. Whichever works.

I kind of like the morning rip city radio stuff. Probably more there personalities than the content though.

Yeah I like them too, I just can't stand that goddamn bell. It's too loud and seems like a low-quality audio effect. It's almost scratchy.

But even though I disagree with Chad Doing on a few different things, I ride with that dude no matter what. His son goes to the HS I went to. He doesnt hold back but knows enough so that it's not him simply throwing crap away a wall. He's the best mainstream guy we got.

My sister dated him some 20 years ago. He was a good dude for the most part.

With doing as a last name... Theres a lot of easy jokes right now.

I appreciate what Chad does on the radio and what he has done off the air for various charity causes. Big 'Thumbs Up' from me.

And if that was "for the most part" when he was that young, that's more than most people.
