Time for Chauncey to go

Be a part of something great, join today!

somebody at the game said Billups was getting boo'd during the intros. uh oh... I noticed Chauncey looked mad and wasn't clapping during timeouts.
 
It’s not fair to pin the entirety of this loss on Chauncey, but good lord, his players did not look prepared to play against the thunder or the lakers this weekend.

Agreed. I couldn't care less if we win or lose right now.
 
This isn't a good team. Why bring in another coach to have them lose, too?

I'd rather keep him until we get some more assets and are closer to being good... we should bring in a coach then, not now.
 
Keep him on. At least he's a better coach than stotts.
 
He’s fine for the tank this year. But he should be replaced this summer.

It would be nice if our players were actually being developed...

If Chauncey sucks by the time the Blazers are where the Thunder were last season, then we should fire him. Until then just shut the fuck up. Dude is coaching a team that was projected to be the worst in the league before we lost Scoot, Ant and Malcolm. Now we're getting fucked up by everybody and you all want heads to roll. Come the fuck on! With Scoot, Ant and Malcolm we still would be in this losing streak but the games would be more competitive and maybe some of you would be crying less. The fans seem to be worse than the team and that's saying a lot.
 
Whoa dude, chill.

like I said, I get why we’re losing. But playing with zero umph is weird.

Did you watch that first half? That was the worst hoops I may have ever seen.
Yeah we were a young team that laid a dud from start to finish against a team that is about two or three years ahead of us. Still, anyone who was asking for a rebuild and is whining today is a shitty fan.

I was at the Cleveland game and I was surprised to hear some boos for Chauncey during the intros.

You’re certainly wondering my thoughts on the situation. I’ll save you the trouble and just tell you: Chauncey is like someone who’s a good Spades player but the game is Bridge.

Or being a good cribbage player, but the game is Go Fish!
 
We would need to know a few things first.

Such as, what kind of coach would you be?

1. Irascible

He'll push them pretty hard.

It can honestly be hard for fans to tell how a coach is doing, because we only see the product on the floor, but can't really know how that product would be different with another coach. But the team doesn't look organized or like they are executing a plan. You can see teams that are obviously well coached, because they make all their scrubs look good.

Chauncy also gives off a vibe of not wanting to be here. It might just be his personality, but he almost has the (when are they going to fire me and put me out of misery) look on his face.

I've had that feeling for quite some time. He's bidding his time and collecting a paycheck. Hoping maybe a player can get drafted that will change his fortunes. His plan is to lose on purpose to get the unicorn that will carry him.
 
Maybe a new coach would heal Simons quicker, and fix Brogdon and Scoots injuries, and donate a new knee to Robert.
That isn’t what the OP is concerned about. Read his entire statement. With the players they do have they are not playing well at all. Even you must admit they are uninspired to say the least.

They are, but they're also playing players who have no business playing minutes.
 
Time for my take but like usual I might piss someone off ..... but I do not care ......

This was expected maybe it's a little worse then it should have been but this team has been hit with injuries so this is not a surprise to me and should not be to anyone else. I will get this out of the way now and say Billups should be replaced this summer but NOT because of the start of this season but more the fact we have seen very little growth as a coach from him since he has been with the Blazers. Now back to my other point on how this team SUCKS right now and how it should not be a surprise to anyone but for some it is. This is what happens when you trade a Top 10 player from a team who carried the team and then mix it with injuries to Scoot and Ant and other Vets and then add in a coach who is average on his best day and those are rare so why are fan surprised. --- I know why now here is the part that will annoy maybe even piss off a fan or two ...

The reason why some fans are upset is they bought into the narrative AKA BULLSHIT sold by Cronin and the front office that even without Dame this team could maybe challenge for the play in this season. The truth and this is the truth but Cronin was speaking out of both sides of his ass cause he thought he could do a re-build and still make some noise in the west even without Dame but he was wrong and this is turning into a fact. However I will give some credit to the idiot and say he has done a solid job so far in the rebuild cycle even if getting to this point was rough but IF he really wants to get this rebuild going he needs to fire Billups and trade away Brogs , Grant and other vets who do not share the rebuild timeline ( 2 to 4 years in future ). The problem is or maybe was cause now he might be forced into it by this start so maybe it was a blessing but NOW he needs to look for trades for all the mentioned players . Basically do what OKC did and hoard assets for a few years then when things line up strike and get a player ( s) who compliment the new core of Scoot , Sharpe and maybe add either a Ayton or whoever that might be in a couple seasons.

Bottomline to sum it up -- Cronin needs realize he messed up and try and copy OKC or something or he will be pig headed and blame everything else for this start and continue to try and do two things at one time and kill the future for the team. I really hope this start has sobered up not only Cronin but certain pig headed fans who could not see the truth about the team. This truth is simple and that is it had to be torn down to be rebuilt into something better and for a few years it will be painful to watch at times and wins will be a bonus but in the following years IF Cronin does his job right the Blazers will rise out of the fire and be re-born into a better team maybe even a contender. --

Go Blazers
