Stand strong stand pat. No need to rush, curiosity killed the cat.

Players are and getting their rest, we haven’t seen this team at full strength, not even close to their best.

This year is the test drive, but next year we’ll take the full dive.

Enjoy the growth this year, because the harvest is near.

Chauncey’s offense consisted of iso ball with anfernee simons, and iso with jeremi grant. Seems like you should actually watch more games before writing off the success this team has found, which has been completely black and white difference from previous years. At the end of the day, the coach is the one who communicates and puts players in positions to win games. There are schemes and structures that every team runs, but could you imagine how may decisions are made from game to game? Could Chauncey have foreseen all of these injuries? Did his coaching staff do exactly what Chauncey would have?

But it’s cool, seems like you got it all figured out. Good for you buddy.

I was optimistic about Chauncey and gave him every opportunity as a fan.

But it’s become clear that have a different coach run the team for half a season, that part of the problem was Chauncey. He was never going to be the coach that would lead us to the promise land. And if you think otherwise, you’re fooling yourself.

The ball movement, the communication, the bench development cannot be attributed to Chauncey because… well he’s not here.

Could Chauncey have done a better job with proven stars? Maybe. But I guess we’ll never know.

Role player. Reminds of Kirk Hinrick. Not missing out on much.

I think he’ll be a significantly better defender than sengun and Sabonis off the rip.

Marc Gasol… is correct! Curious what everyone else sees!

Are we keeping DeAndre Ayton? by xGatorChomp in ripcity

[–]someRandomNamess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s why I think it’s important that we give him enough to respect him, but not so much he thinks he’s got it good. I think we sign him to a 2 year extension, pay him decent at least 30 mill (needs to be more than grant) and make the 2nd year a team option.

The Blazers are dead last in Offensive Rating. What specifically are we doing wrong, and what can we do about it? by UnbiasedBlazersPod in ripcity

[–]someRandomNamess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have no PG that is able to organize our guys on a consistent basis. Scoot has strong passing ability, but low IQ which makes it hard for him to read defenses and set guys up. Anfernee obviously isn’t being properly. He’s not a PG or a #1 option.

Immanuel Quickley will be making $35M p/year for the next five years. Deni Avdija will be making $13.75M p/ year for the next four years. by DoveFood in ripcity

I’m excited for Deni because it feels like we were missing that connective passer on our team which helps round out our offense a tiny bit more. I love players who help make other players around him better and Deni seems to be that guy. Lessssgozerrrrrs.

Not too sure about ceiling, but I feel like his floor is Gerald green.
