Zombie Damian Lillard to request trade in coming days (nope, he's not.)

Yep. Confidence issue. It will not last. At least i hope not for his sake.

 

i hope you are right but sometimes it derails a player. I think that was always nic batums issue. He could have been a grant hill, penny hardaway type player but lacked the confidence… and never gained it.
Some players over come and get it back but i think more often than not, once its been had and the. Lost, very hard to get it back again.

but mostly what grts me about him is how he ran instead of faced the scrutiny and admitted he has work to do.

Thats the main reason im wanting to pass on him unless its just for cj straight up. He has shown no indicTion that he recognizes he has to work on some things. Without that acknowledgement i dont think he will be able to improve his shooting even if he gets some confidence back. He has work to put in and if he doesn't recognize, that he is lost.

 

I think Mr. Nightlife needs to decide what's really important. If it's the game, he needs to work like never before, and if he's traded, come in with an open mind, and work for the goal. If it's all about the lifestyle, then he has potential to become a cancer & malcontent. His career is really on the fence after that debacle in the playoffs. He's the only one who can make it go away.

 

Neat article/interview in the June Mens Journal, with Dame.
Share a couple of quotes:
Q:Your loyalty to Small markets has made you beloved nationally. Do you carry that small-town attitude with you?
D: "I do carry that with me, but its not like Im doing it on purpose. What it comes down to is I don't view myself as a big deal. Im aware of everything that's happening, the endorsements and playing in the all star game and being on the cover of video games. But its hard to look at that and be full of myself when my relationships and people around me-my cousins, mom,childhood friends, brother, - all feel normal".

Q: So you like Forrest Gump and he had an impact on your life?
D: "I feel like Forrest Gump! This dude was an all American football player, came up with "shit happens" and invested in Apple in 1994, and all this stuff but he just wanted to mow the lawn for free, you know what i'm saying? And it wasn't like he was trying to play no role, it was just like this is who he is. He didn't view himself like everybody else did. And I think thats what it is for me".

 

Dame Gump 4 President!!

 

dame pulling his james harden card, we all know how that ended

 

“My coach always said a season is like a box of chocolates.You never know what you're gonna get.”

 

Why hasn't this thread died out of natural causes?

 

But it's always gonna have a delicious coating of ultra sweet chocolate.

 

i never understood this line. Most chocolates come with a sheet stating what each pc is.
Hazelnut nuegut in dark chocolate

rasberry creme….

Milk chocolate truffle…

sea salted caramel…

peanut cluster…

toffee brittle…


How can one NOT know what the chocolate is???

 

Not sure that was true back in the ‘70s when the film was set.

You may be overthinking it just a tad, bro.

 

well dammit. If they cant figure out that my time is the only time and its on them to conform then…..

So this leads me to my next overthinking question? No one thought it might be a good idea to have a label or note stating what the chocolate is until after the 70’s?

I mean…Milton?? Wth man! Cruel joke on society if you ask me….

Edit: on the serious, having a wife allergic to peanuts, ive just thought they were always noted whats in them for health reasons. But obviously that likely didnt become a thing until the fda started mandating such things.

 

I've had boxes of See's chocolates that did not say which piece was what. Try a box of their nuts and chews for example. I've known other brands of chocolates that did not tell what was inside But for the last 30 years or so, we've eaten nothing but See's.

 

Do you know what's good about your wife's allergy to peanuts? You get to be the designated taste tester.
Yes, you and I like to know what's under the chocolate shell, but believe it or not, there are others out there who, for some mysterious reason, like to not know so they can be surprised.

 

What exactly does that mean

 

i think he is implying that dame is gonna come into camp out of shape and force his way out like harden did

 

It's clearly all the alcohol he's drinking.

 

It's kinda like Covid. It could be gonzo, but the Lemmings keep it going. And like the Doctors, we positive voices on this subject have to keep medicating the doom & gloomers, Trolls & haters.

 

Dame on IG live right now. Someone literally asked why he’s leaving PDX and he said he’s not leaving PDX, for now.
