    We need to kidnap one of Bozma's goldfish and blackmail him into playing this every time Allen scores...

    As much as I love Drazen, He wanted to start. Now... On my video game he does start and I put Drex at SF.
    But was he really gonna start over Kersey?

    Loved it. Very beautiful place. It was blowing like hell that morning and the staff said to be careful around the trees. They were really dry and you could here them cracking. Kind of scary. Fortunately, I never hit the ball in the trees......

    yeah... And throwing a towel in your teammates face makes you such a great one? Also, never improving your game or working on your body in the offseason makes you a great teammate too? I was GLAD when we traded Wallace...

    Nah, we would've benched Duck and gone super small with JK and Buck and the 4/5. That would've been a fun team to watch.

    Even if the inmates were cracked and scared, the staff still should have let you interact with the trees.

    (jlprk replied to my post! I hope all you other forumites realize what an honor this is!)

    I was talking about golf silly. They do it sometimes in Bellingham during the warm weather, Aug 1-15.

    Jermaine O'Neal. He played well when he got the chance. Then we traded him for essentially an over-the-hill, less-talented version of himself when we could have put him in the rotation in the very same spot.

    His game log from his last season with us suggests he was as unimpressive as my admittedly faulty memory recalls:

    End of discussion.

    Medical staff convinced Walton to take painkillers to come back prematurely from a foot injury, and ended up breaking said foot because he couldn't feel the pain. The end of the 77-78 season was an epic injury shitpile that saw players like Willie Norwood, Dale Schlueter, and Jackie Dorsey see meaningful minutes because Lucas, Gross, Neal, and Steele all went down with injuries. But Walton's issues with his feet were well known and instead of giving him the time to recover, as they did when he got injured midway through the 76-77 season, they rushed him back on the court taking drugs he wasn't comfortable with and it ended up costing him a good portion of his career.

    Asking a Deadhead to take painkillers is like asking me to get free tickets to Blazer homegames

    That is a funny joke, but Chris is right.
