Neil must read S2!


“He would never admit it, but he’s been stung by the outside criticism. I know, because I’ve heard him rant and rave about an opinion of a random Twitter account with 860 followers.” —Quick

HCP, can thee confirm this?

We had one year out of 9 where we went to the WCF and everyone knew we didn't have a chance against a Kevin Durantless Warriors. Whoopty Doo.

This doesn’t make sense to me. Are the young Blazers not supposed to claw their way to the WCF because everyone knows they’re not good enough to beat the best team in the league? Is Olshey supposed to somehow make the Warriors worse?

It was cool enough. Just nobody logically could have thought we had a chance to actually beat them. People like to point to the one WCF appearance as if it means Olshey did a great job. Throwing around we made the WCF once sounds better than it was. We didn't have a chance to get out of the WCF.

We haven't really had a team that could compete for a title during Dame's career. The team we had where Wes went down with an injury was the closest we had in terms of maybe, just maybe getting one.

Still felt better about the potential of the Roy, Aldridge, Oden team.

If healthy, Roy and Oden would have won many titles. No question.

Not sure if Aldridge would have stuck it out, but Roy and Oden were pretty much unstoppable when healthy.
 
I think Chris Haynes is the hill Olshey chose to die on.....whatever went down between them, it must have pissed Tone off!

If Nurk and Collins and Hood wouldn't have gone down, our bench wouldn't have been starting either....injuries seriously fucked a really decent roster...we've been starting bench players for the last few years...finally we have a fairly healthy roster and bench.

Even with those guys healthy I think we needed a second all star to get be serious contenders.

Again. Dude plays around the margins and whiffs when be has had opportunities to improve the team more than by the margins. He can go be a good enough gm for a big market team. He is not good enough to be a small market gm.

It wasn’t whoopty doo me. Watching Dame hit another series winner, watching us win a 4OT game, beating Denver in Gm 7 on the road with CJ leading us. That was FUN. Losing in WCF sucked but getting there was fun.

Neil was so defensive after the sweep in 2018. Felt like he was yelling at the posters on this board.

It was fun. There just were no illusions that we would win a title that year. Neil has failed to put a contender around the best player our franchise has ever had. It is sad.
 
Neil deserves to be fired from the 2016 offseason alone.

A lot of his other failures and other criticisms are justified.

Only thing I strongly support him on is keeping Aldridge, the criticism he gets for not trading him is ludicrous.

I'm ready for a new GM. However the scary part is I have little faith ownership will hire an improvement. Will really suck if it's even worse.
 
Yea I didn’t understand what the hell Harvey was doing defending not bringing back Whiteside lol

Why shouldn’t he be criticized for not trading Aldridge? We knew years in advance that he wouldn’t be back.

Huh? We had like the 2nd best record in the West, up and coming superstar discovered as a sidekick for him, and LMA was pretty much all over the media saying he wants to retire as the best Blazer ever.

Once the trade deadline passed is when shit went south quick. So please tell me at what point do you trade him? Lol

There were rumors two years before that saying that LMA wanted out. The writing was on the wall. Plenty of people saw that he wasn't going to come back. His comments about wanting to retire as the best blazer ever were bullshit. He wanted to go to Texas. He wanted to be closer to his family. He never really liked Portland. He always felt like he was second fiddle and he had huge middle child syndrome. We should have dealt him.
