Would love to see you do a video on that Blazer Trade Target article by Reese Kunz.
I think Jarace Walker is a very obtainable player, especially since Indy needs a center like RW3.
20 mins in "Bingo" Mike! You hit it on the head!
Scoot back to watch him sit in the corner. Great offense
Portland Dribble Dribble Dribble Blazers!!!… 😂😂😂
Get rid of a suck ass Coach and get trading Ayton Grant MT Ant Simons. Seems like the blazeer don't understand. If they get a good draft pick, they might be able to turn their franchise around. But everybody's too. Stupid in that f**** organization didn't understand
Chauncey's MVPenis is not cuttin it… But ownership/FO has been the problem for a while now. Super disappointing
💯 %
Portland Fail Blazers
They been making dumb
Mistakes ever since could

Big stories this what we going to do Shoulda Woulda coulda empty
Moda center at least when we had
One live
So mad about League pass, it's so stupid that I live on the Big Island of Hawaii and get the Southern California teams Blacked out. Ridiculous! Play the bottom of the bench to start over those who don't Hussle.
need a good veteran or 2 to guide these young team
Tyler herro on pace 2 b an allstar this year thoughts?
preseason rankings are being used as a sacred document carved in stone.
"What did YOU expect? Blazers are supposed to finish near the bottom."
— those rankings aren't always correct. Blaming fans has hit overdrive.
My question to this team and the coach is that are they still tanking or trying to at least win. Traded for deni but don’t utilise him to the fullest. We have 2 guys name scoot and deni playing well this game but decided to pluck them out the moment they get going and coach thinking putting grant and simons in was the right answer. A guy who didn’t even score until the fourth quarter was being played instead of deni. What a shit ass coach right there. Make up their mind for godsake, one moment we look like a playoff team and the other the worst team in the league.
Stockton and Malone played in a different era. The 3 ball wasn't the heart of the offense . And teams we're better.
wanna know why Billups wore his "nice coach" hat after the Utah thrashing?
….. because the Boss was in the house. Owner Jody Allen hasn't attended too many games, but she was in town that evening.
Jerami Grant still worth 2 FRPs?
Had to leave the Jazz game at the start of the fourth quarter, just couldn’t take any more, horrific
the 2 'stars' and 1 vet are the laziest. they are also in a 'solo' and ''let me do my stuff and leave me alone' mind. of course the team wont develop in the right direction
Best thing that happened to the blazers this week was watching jokic drop 56 and lose, revenge for dames pain in the 4OT
The winners on this team are RW3 and Clingan.
Fire Billups!!
“Finals MVP-ness” lol
Blazers just have the worst coach in the league!
Preach Mike. You the every nail on the head.
Why does it seem like every player the Blazers have now Played on a high school team that came in 5th out of 8 positions. They play like they are all rookies still. They play scared. Like they already know the outcome. Its pathetic. Play harder. Are you sick of losing yet?
Bring the fire! Mike, you are more fired up than the entire team. It really does seem like everyone on this team is on a lame duck season. Nobody cares, and they are just waiting for the tank to start, which is very sad for the fans and player development! I think you touched on it, but we really need our ownership to move on more than anything right now, and they are legally obligated to do so. What would happen right now if Pual was still alive? I don't think he would have just shrugged and did nothing. There are issues with the front office, for sure, some of the decisions are baffling but some of them are actually quite good, so it is hard to say everything is bad. Ultimately the ownership sets the table, and it is quite clear that there are no repercussions for the time being, so sadly we are likely on this train for a while 🙁
Scoot and Sharpe need to be starting together. Ant does not fit this team, and needs to find a new home. I think there are teams that could use Ayton before the trade deadline ends. The east is wide open, and I think we need to move those folks. Don't really care what we get back, just open up the line-up, so our younger players can get court time and build chemistry together.
J Grant might have killed any chance of a trade to the Lakers with his terrible game against them.
I always appreciate your nuance in connecting all the variables into an equation that makes sense. I’m sick of the members (or perhaps singular very vocal member?) of the media gaslighting fans into thinking they’re stupid for saying Chauncey is a bad coach while themselves (himself?) refusing to say that anyone other than the players are in the wrong (while also claiming those players are extremely valuable and should have frothy trade markets, but that’s neither here nor there). We need more pass first point guards in the Blazers media landscape (ignoring for a moment that a team consisting of nothing but pass first point guards would have a very hard time putting the ball in the hoop. Make of this analogy as you will)
Im a lakers fan in Australia and its plainly obvious that the 5 going forward needs to be. Scoot, Sharpe, Camara, Deni and Clingan. Ayton, grant and Simon need to go. If Simon stayed hes a hester 6th man only.
Why would anybody want to be on a team that doesn’t want to win.
Appreciate the podcast Mike!
Losing begets losing. If they keep it up it will be their ingrained culture for years to come. Formerly passionate Blazer fans are now apathetic or close to it. Even if this organization lucks into a number one lottery pick they’ll just F it up. If I were a top draft pick drafted by Portland I’d refuse to sign and force a trade.
Chauncey sucks!!!!
Spurs will send you Sochan for Sharpe.
Ant needs to be traded for his sake. He is really a good offensive player and taking a ton of heat from fans because teams are teeing up on him to stop him. He needs to be a third option somewhere to shine and be loved because he's also an awesome dude.
ANT GRANT & DA GOTTA GO ASAP
i respect Mike for calling things as they are and not sugar coating it like Marang
WTF is wrong with Ayton? He's actually terrible…
At this rate we will have completely wasted 2 years of development through losing and learning because we held on to Grant and Simons preventing the growth of the players we consider the future. Grant and simons are selfish players and we need guys who want to be part of an actual Team.
As soon as Simon’s and Ayton are gone, the sooner this team will get wins. Simon’s needs to go first ,as we won’t get anything in return anyways. Who would pay him the kind of money he makes? Ayton can go in the off season as he still has value to some teams like Washington. Billups will have to go as well. He would be a great assistant coach but it’s pretty clear that he’s not fit to be in the captains chair, here in Portland. Grant should be moved as well. Portlands crazy for not trading for that first round pick from the Lakers. Scoot, (the big general) and the rest of the team are keepers. We need 1 more high level defender and 2 more scorers. And it would be nice to have an active owner who really understands basketball and basketball business. But first and foremost GET RID OF SIMONS. Folks, he is the elephant in the room. When he’s in the lineup the team is confused and out of sorts. It’s sooooo clear, just look at the numbers as a whole when he runs the point 💯. And to this podcast Billups is still here because we have nice ownership.. and for those who don’t know, business is cut throat, not nice. Respectful, but cut throat, just ask Mr. Cuban.
29:45 use his finals M-V-WHATTT 😭
deni is playing with 20% confidence , he is afraid to make mistakes leading the offence
Damn Mike went off on this one. This is why he’s the best in the business. Danny Marang has become too commercialized
If the team wants to build for the future, they need to replace the coach with one who instills team play and not hero ball in his team. Ayton must go, and bring in a real quarterback, and then we can start building an infrastructure for the future.
These are dark days in Blazerland
This was an excellent podcast Mike, truly loved it. You aren’t afraid to say what other local media won’t. You speak your truth and that’s why this show is awesome.
