You’re out of touch with reality. You thought 3-9 to close season was realistic outcome when 10-2 was the actual reality. We absolutely can win the championship this season. There’s no clear favorite right now.

You get predictions wrong all the time but you'll never own up to them. Then you want to say others are out of touch with reality because of their predictions. The blatant hypocrisy and your lack of awareness of it makes me wonder if you are.

There is only one kind of fan on this site that feels like they get to define who are and who are not fans. And for some reason they're completely consumed with what other fans think about the team.

HCP?

Oh yeah, if Stotts gets wins in the second round but we lose; the organization will probably just keep him... it will be a mistake and it will be unprecedented longevity in the face of mediocrity but they'll probably do it. If we don't beat these Nuggets, I think they'll have a press conference announcing him stepping down within two weeks of our last game. I do not think they'll extend him unless we somehow get to the WCF and win some games.

I don't have any insight into this because all i know is other people's opinions.
I do wonder where all this certainty is coming from that he will be fired? Couple local writers came up with an opinion piece and one of those writers happens to write for a site that has another writer that writes nationally and that writer piggy backed another story. But all that has gone pretty quiet lately sine they rolled into the playoffs? I think they are playing the waiting game as well. Just like you.
A number of your posts are very "On the Fence" about a bunch of topics. Probably rightly so? Does anyone really know?

There is a clear cut difference in the way some view the team. Then there is this KSF guy and the Aldo guy? Both seem to be almost unhealthy? I wonder if both of them are just having fun and posting things to get discussion? If so that is fine with me but it might be tough on others.

This. The lack of ownership for being wrong from the same people who call out other fans regularly for their opinions on how good the team is makes this place tough to hang out in regularly.
To call anyone who has sought out this site to discuss the Blazers a bad fan for their opinions, is extremely self centered.

it really is a dying skill... the ability for people to maintain fact from opinion and not push an opinion as fact.

23 wins
60 wins

we wont win another game
We are built to win it all

Small sample sizes are still factual
Small sample sizes skew reality

all teams incur injuries, its a wash aNd doesnt matter.
Blazers have not been healthy for one full season since Dame arrived.


is there not any room for some middle ground?


(Funny. I find myself asking the same question in the political arena as well.)

Anyhow, this thread is legit. After game three i thought the same. Were done.
Now i think we can pull it out.

Emotions are just that. Emotions. Not facts. What would we all be if not for emotions? Robots???

This thread is entertaining....

and to toss a bit of gas on the fire, some might consider a blind faithful a bad fan as well. Never admitting the team has holes or areas of need for improvement, leaves the team in a treadmill situation, never getting better.

So who really is the better fan? The rose glass fan who believes all is perfect and we are fine as is, or the pessimistic fan, constantly pointing out areas of inefficiency and a need for improvement?


Which mentality, if the team were to follow, would one think will have a better chance of winning it all?

its why many successful people are not completely happy. They are wired to see the faults and successfull people fix those faults.

Now, which type of person is Stotts and Olshey?

This should be the point of discussion. Not calling out fellow fans, regardless of stance. Stop tryin to tear each other down. We are all in the same Blazer Boat of fandom.

Lets let Jody and her people responsible for hiring and firing the TB Pres and coach deal with the matter after the season is over. Some will like the outcome and some wont.

never gonna please everyone. Especially with the emotional extremes of Blazer fans. Lol.

Utah had far longer mediocrity with 2 hall of famers legit considered by many to be the best of all time in their prime... Imagine how many titles they could have won if only they'd have fired Sloan in 1991... Amiright!?

well, Sloan did take them to 6 WC Finals and 2 NBA Finals. So, at least Utah's version of mediocrity crossed over the line into contending sometimes. The Stotts teams have been pretenders without ever approaching that line

We will never know
And I bet if Utah could do it over
They’d fire their coach and try something new
Should take a page out of “soccer” and get a new coach every so often. Managers leave *winning teams* frequently because they think players become stale to them, need new tactics, etc even if they just won something like the champions league or a bunch of league trophies

and Utah mediocrity is laughable compared to ours. They had 15 straight seasons finishing in the top 3 of the conference. 2 finals appearances. 3 WCF finals appearances. If thats “mediocrity” the Blazers are flat out TRASH.

Im not sure if they could do over they'd fire Sloan, like Dame here the State had him on to high a pedestal and for good reason.

There is no reason to have believed we had the talent to be contenders during his tenure. Middle of the road teams who went through tons of injuries yet still finished better than most predicted, sure, but contender level talent no sir.

On this i don't know? Seems like most feel he is a decent to good coach that is a great guy and his team loves him.
Then there are those that dislike him and feel he can't get the team to a championship.
Me i appreciate his worth and see his flaws.
If they replace him i hope they aim high OR take a huge chance on an up and comer.

Yeah, but come on, Jerry Sloan had two sure thing hall of famers, how come Stotts couldn't take 1 sure thing hall of famer + 0 other all stars to the finals ONCE!?

(and i say that as someone who wants him gone)

Sorry Three Hall of Fame players.
John Stockton
Karl Malone
Bryon Russell

And Hornacek may get there someday still.

Sloan had a very good team. Problem was Micheal Jordan.

I don't know dislike personally but there few that don't like his coaching style and actually one of them. But if they continue to have him as the head coach that hope for the best for him to be successful.

They actually didn't. At this point in Sloan's tenure they had won games in three different WCFs and in Sloan's ninth season (this is Stotts' ninth season) they went to the finals against Jordan's Bulls.

I picked team to finish 8-2 and I was right.

In fact, you can make a case for Malone and Stockton being the best ever at their positions. Not so with Dame & CJ.

Yeah, you'll only talk about the predictions you get right while pretending like you dont get any wrong and giving people crap when they do.
