    Don't know about faster, but can certainly travel much farther at any given time.

    Actually I just got back from the hospital in Atrial Fibulation...luckily it didn't end in a stroke......thanks for asking though. I'm at a high risk for heart failure and it's one day at a time so if you're looking for a sparring partner...….look elsewhere. Your post says a lot about your character. I was talking about the OP...not Kennedy and Trump.....feel good about your condescension? Trying to say CJ is better than someone else is going to get reactions, I get that....it's HOW you react that I find rude and unnecessary. We're done here bucko

    yeah, I still feel bad about the dumb joke I made....I hope I'm not still on your shit list

    sucks you were in the hospital. I was in the hospital for the first time in my life about 3 years ago for a gall-bladder attack, so it was minor compared to you (painful as hell though). I sure hope you can get better

    the worst thing about being in the hospital was I don't think I've ever felt less in control. I guess maybe the impending Christmas with the in-laws will test that

    I'm sorry about your health but I genuinely don't care what you think about me. You have always had a hard time dealing with someone disagreeing with you.

    But what if you're genuinely concerned that there's something wrong because the person isn't making any sense?

    I don't have a hard time dealing with disagreement about basketball....one of us was not civil about this discussion and it wasn't me....I'll refrain from poking a stick at you about it..put me on ignore if you think I'm hard to read around here. Get a life...or not...choices..That make sense to you? Baiting on a message board seems to make the most sense to you from what I've read....I don't give a shit how you spin it. Find a willing sparring partner and waste your own time

    Go back and reread our interactions. I wasn't uncivil towards you in my reply. You were the one who decided to break away from the topic at hand. Look in the mirror.

    Is this guy complaining that @THE HCP isn't offering Blazers TV Truck tours to people he doesn't like ? Please tell me I misread that. If not what a dumb thing to say.

    That is how I read it too. I have never turned down anybody from S2 if they’ve wanted tours of our facilities. Ask @SlyPokerDog about this. Not sure where that came from to be honest.
    That I’m using my career as a ,”Tool to create separation between forum members”
    What in the hell is that? Ha! I don’t think about this place enough to come up with some scheme like that. That’s like a NETFLIX original type situation. I’d love to hear where this came from.

    I’ve told Sly for awhile now to set up tours. We obviously can’t do it all the time, but once a month or something shouldn’t be to big of a deal.

    Yeah, I don’t think so at all. If Melo surprises me and plays like four years ago, maybe. But I don’t think he will.

    Do you remember how completely shite Aminu and Harkless were in the playoffs?

    That’s one year. Aminu’s career playoffs are quite good. If you’re going to use only one playoffs then both had a better playoff last year than Melo’s last playoffs. But let’s use a whole season and see if this year’s lineup outscores their opponents by as much as last year’s pace adjusted. You’re up so far. West appears much softer this year too so should be easy.
