Oh boy do we have a take about the Blazer's coaching situation. If you would like to skip past the talk about the Blazer's new head coach forward to 46:00 to hear about how we're gonna get weird this season: Welcome Ben Simmons! Kevin Love? Bring him home! Which Blazer would be the best Chief Stew and who should be the Bosun? We tackle the tough stuff first and then try to end on a lighter note.
2:15 Tara's experience during the coaching hire saga
6:15 Strange sense of detachment
7:00 Cassidy's story. Its really hard to watch the organization that has meant so much he whole life carry on with so little regard for the feelings of the fans.
9:30 Believing in reform and what reform means
13:00 A glimmer of hope and then the press conference
17:00 This organization doesn't care about us
17:30 Dame didn't make the hire
22:00 PR Blunders? Or calculated moves that say you don't care
24:10 What message does it say when you won't let the Head Coach talk?
28:00 Why does the league celebrate women one day and then celebrate people who victimize them the next?
29:30 Length of the coaching contract was surprising
32:15 Be careful how much you care about sports
34:00 What are we going to do about it?
40:00 Rachel Nichols and Maria Taylor. Ugh!
45:00 Oh look at that! All the other coaches being hired by other teams
46:00 Lets get weird
47:45 Come on over Ben Simmons! 76ers would be lucky to have CJ McCollum on their roster
50:15 Just bring poor Kevin Love home. We don't care any more (for a vet minimum, and he has to bring his dog.)
52:45 Bravo TV talk
56:15 Finals pics
