    I've heard Pawser Fasciitis can be painful.

    I'd hoped it would have helped him recruit. But that's the only reason I'd want him to play. I'm glad he'll be resting and getting healthy for the Blazers season.

    Plantar fasciitis isnt that bad. Its all about pain tolerance. I dont have the medical resources dame does, and ive had it a couple times when i used to run cross country and 5k's throughout my adult life.

    It would usually only take like a month to heal with off the shelf stuff and professionally made orthotics.

    So did he want more time or he wanted rest?

    I love that he opted out for the rest but why mention that you wanted more time and now it makes it look like your crying Bc you didn't get an extension on the decision?

    Going back to the team use beef, social media rant on being snubbed with the all star game, I don't want this dude to get a rep nationally on whining if things don't go his way

    In his case, it's probably more like humper fasciitis.

    When it comes to media attention and accolades, Lillard is feast or famine. Either he's getting recognition and happy, or getting snubbed and pouting.

    Am I the only one who's disappointed? He was gonna play like 15 mpg as is. Would have been a great experience and great exposure.

    Especially after he made a fuss about getting snubbed earlier.

    I really wouldn't call this a rant.... but whatever. You can call it sour grapes, if you want.

    I wanted it too. Although I think back to the last time the Blazers had a guy in the Olympics and it pretty much marked the end of his prime, Drexler's knees were messed up the following season and he was never quite the same. Knowing our franchise's luck that would have happened again.

    Seems like almost nobody wants to play for team USA. Hayward turned down an invite too...That's gotta hurt when even Gordon Hayward says no. No slight on him, but when you go from guards like Curry, Dame, Thompson, CP3, to getting turned down by Hayward...

    Honestly, we should just go back to college players.

    Do I care? No. Olympics are boring AF for basketball. Seeing all these young college kids play against the worlds best players would be more exciting, and it gives teams better looks at certain players against actual NBA players.

    This is how many people said no to the Olympics this year. Harrison Barnes made the 12 man roster.

    Weakest team in how many years? Of course they probably still win it all.

    I have a bad feeling about this Olympics. Probably wouldn't go if I had a package of freebies. I doubt the security will be up to temptation it represents, to take out the Infidel.
