    So, Ive played with div1 college guys in my past (wasnt good enough to be one), but before I was constantly in pain and then fat I played with pretty good players pretty often. My guess is a younger HJ was pretty legit. He’s still a real good passer, and is a legit 6’6 thats pretty strong. He’s even got a decent jumper though he tends to not take it. Bones is pretty good too, different strengths in my opinion, like he’s got a real good hop step, good footwork, really good moving without the ball, can get hot in a hurry, he’s I think an inch or two shorter than HJ but still he’s pretty tall too, their both pretty good. Dviss is really quick, and hailblazers is a good defender especially if they’re letting contact go! Pretty good team there.

    Glad you guys won it, and hope we can continue to get together and play.

    That’s the order which they were interviewed.

    Thanks man.

    What's funny is until about Bones age I was rail thin, like 205ish. One year I lifted like everyday and bulked up to about 230. Then I started having foot problems and have been fighting weight issues since.

    I used to have to rely on spin moves and pump fakes to get around bigger players. So it's more of a recent thing with being physically bigger and stronger than most others guarding me. That combined with not being able to jump I've had to transform my game. In my prime I was more like a point forward who did everything good but nothing great. Bones is a better scorer and defender than I ever was though.

    Y’all can hate but I had to tell Blazergonian how fresh the we got shooters/stranger things shirts are. I bought myself one ahead of all the Whiteside hype coming to us this season.

    Price is a bit high($24.99+$6 S/H), but I gotta get some new clothes and since my wardrobe is 90% Blazers gear it’s just part of the life that I’ve accepted. Plus I’m all about supporting small business, especially when they are Blazer fans. Hard fought games by them, nothing but respect.

    Can get them here if you want one too

    Sly we gotta get on the Merch bandwagon. I’d buy a RC2 shirt in a heartbeat. We should come together as a community and decide on a design for one. Proceeds can go towards putting together a forum event or donated to one of the charities the Blazers support.

    Funny you should say that! Inspired by @H.C. who played last two years and gave his jersey away, Sly and I we're talking about doing a gear drive for underprivileged kids! Set it up so people can buy as many hats, shirts, and gear as they want and it all gets distributed to the community. The Annual Rip City Two Gear Drive can kick off in conjunction with celebrating the Blazer's big 5 O.

    You're just so good that I'm extra focused when you're guarding me.
