    wifey and i had the absolute worst year of our lives in 2018. I can't tell you how awesome of an outlet this forum and the Blazers were.

    Best wishes.

    That was a seriously scary hit he took to the head. Prayers go out to him and hope he can make a full recovery.

    Watch it until you see what happened. He drove, came down with the ball low in both hands. Exploded off of two feet and brought the ball up with two hands. Wanted to finish with one hand and barely brought his left hand off the ball.

    There was no "leading" with his elbow. His elbow didn't make any unnatural movement. He didn't do anything wrong. Noel is the one who made the error.

    The only thing he could have done if he knew what was going to happen was put his left arm straight up.

    Ya it was a quick hitting play. I wish he would have shown some more compassion after at least though. We still haven't heard anything about Noel since the tweet about him being in the hospital.

    I think a lot of people would agree with more compassion.

    In the age of the flop and buying calls from the refs he probably thought he was kinda faking it.

    It reminds me of when Dale Earnhardt died. Everyone was like "from that????"

    Yeah, caught that Woj tweet earlier. Crazy thing about that is saying Kanter's out of the rotation in NY. He's been averaging minutes in the consistent mid-20's all season.

    Interestingly, Woj appears to have deleted that tweet, but it still appears in my tweetdeck.

    But I keep getting told on here how his triple doubles aren’t a good thing.

    Keep the jokes coming brother. Laughter and smiles cures everything in my opinion.

    Well duh, they aren't a good thing, especially if it helps them win, unless it's against the lakers. :bgrin:
