This is just another bullshit take from Reddit. No one thought this was a good roster. The GM started the season by saying the roster is incomplete and then said he wasn’t able to make the moves to make it competitive at the deadline. This is probably the worst constructed roster Dame has played on in his career. At least that shitty roster where we had Powell playing out of position had guys that knew each other. That roster and this one are shit. Chauncey might really suck but he should have a chance to show that with a roster that at least his GM says should be competitive.
 
Hollinger and Duncan just did their coach rankings.

It was agreed that Chauncey was the 2nd worst coach in the league, only behind Stephen Silas and the chaos in Houston.

Yeeesh. Not sure I disagree.
 
A lot of teams underperformed with one common denominator....... Injuries.
I am not sold on Chauncey either, but injuries are a huge factor every year. If you have a deep and talented team then you can stay afloat. When you have an average team and you have injuries then you are lottery bound. You also have to consider our strategic tanking. I mean Dame sitting for the N.O. game? He was fine. Could Grant and Ant have gone last night if we really wanted to ensure a win? Again I am not convinced Chauncey is an above-average coach, but the record is a bit misleading IMO.

Oh, starting 5 roster was probably the best the Blazers had since the LMA, Wes, Batum years.

The problems were thin, super green bench and a green coach. Add injuries on top of this and this team was decimated

It's crazy to me that we didn't do anything to adjust to the potential for injuries OR after we ultimately suffered injuries.

Cronin is allergic to big men. It's insane.

It was the most talented but Jerami being a smallish 4 and Josh being a 2 couldn't balance out the minute back court the way Moe and Chief did even though Moe and Chief were nowhere close to as good of basketball players... just my opinion. It wasn't talent it was construction. The wrong materials even if they were far superior materials.

Let’s say we are somehow able to go out and get another star. Does anyone really want Chauncey coaching a contender?

Noooooooooooooooo! As I said before wait till after the last game so da tank commander can keep working his "magic"

In order for Dame to have the BEST chance at winning, we need a better, more experienced coach. Will it make us contenders? Who knows. But it can’t hurt
 
Truly believe we will shock the world at next years December Tourney! Better get your tickets now....
 
Celtics were good with Udoka, good with Mazulla, same core players. Point to ponder
 
It's more about the players ( health, talent level, youth) than Chauncey right now. Chauncey is growing , just as some of the young players . I like this staff.
 
This is not NeO's fault this is not even all on Billups either cause he was given a team of talent but not talent that worked good together BUT that does not let him off the hook. The 1st thing is this Jody is kind of running this team right up to the max but not willing to go over it. Maybe the new / modified CBA could mean greater chance Billups is fired but before the new CBA I gave him being fired at like under 10% now maybe it's higher like 25 % or so but I wonder if they might let go a couple of the assistants and bring in fresh blood / idea's before the fire Billups.

IF I was running things i would promote Billups to head of Basketball operations / GM cause I think he is a good basketball mind just not for coaching and then a rock solid Asst GM who has some experience , and then hire Vanterpool as the HC -- not a perfect solution but might be easier then firing Billups.
 
the national media has Chauncey's back... because he is one of them. NBA Legend, Sports analyst, got a gig as a Clippers bench coach, then Olshey signed him to a 5 year deal, possibly after Neil learned he might get canned.
 
So Chauncey loses when he’s supposed to win, and wins when we need losses. When this clown is back next season, someone tell him we’re out of playoff contention before the season

Chauncey is not supposed to be trying to lose. Joe will sit the guys he thinks he needs to in order to get the best position in the draft but Chauncey has to coach whoever he has to play the most effective ball possible. He has lost when he's supposed to win thought, you are right about that. However this roster was so fucking terribly constructed it's hard to know which games we were supposed to win that we didn't but I'm sure there are plenty.

Same constructed as Olshey’s teams

Only with that last roster did Olshey ever cripple us with such a small team. Olshey put together better benches and even though he made the mistake every year after LaMarcus left to start two small, score first guards who were both bad defenders, he put more length around them in the starting lineup until that last season.

I know that Olshey lied pretty much at all times or maybe just never knew what the fuck he was talking about but he always said he'd built a contender. Joe has constantly said that the rosters that he's put together weren't good enough to win. He said that at his first trade deadline, he said that the roster was incomplete going into this season and he said he was unable to do what was needed at this last trade deadline. Like I said, I'm sure there were games that Chauncey should have been able to get wins in that he just didn't but it's hard for me to pinpoint them when our personnel has been so terribly put together.

Joe said from the jump that this was a multi year fix.
