Bro!! Please post more. I might come back if there’s more positivity here
Worth saying, as one of the biggest pessimists about the state of the franchise, that I do appreciate alternative, positive views. There is a lot to like on even the bleakest NBA roster, and a bunch of Portland's youth are easy to cheer for. I do tend to get lost in the fuzziness of the big picture. I should probably accept the difficult present and enjoy what I can out of this team.
I don’t mean this is any slight or personal way, but if the hopelessness of the Dame treadmill has produced any real hopeful excitement since LA/Wes/etc all abandoned him, I must have been watching a diff brand of Blazer basketball.
They were always pretenders simply holding on to Dames coat tail.
At least there’s a glimpse of actual two way team basketball on the horizon. I’ll take it. Gladly.
Maybe we don’t have a 30 ppg nightly scorer on the roster, but maybe our team actually is somewhat unpredictable. Perhaps that identity is worth investing in. Idk. TBD
Your POV is valid. It's what you enjoy vs. what you don't. For me, Dame was an electric franchise player, and the team yielded as much success as most cores are likely to. I'll never be a championship-or-rebuild kinda guy. The so-called treadmill is much more enjoyable basketball than the depths of tankville. For me, anyway.
