    Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

    I’ve just loved Dame. That said, if we can collect a major haul by trading him….then first get rid of Olshey, then bring in Ainge to help negotiate the trade/haul package.

    rebuild this mess

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Studies show that sarcastic people are generally smarter. And more attractive. And good at shooting basketballs.

    Maybe Lillard needs to be more sarcastic.

    Yes, Lillard is injured and is refusing treatment so that way he's untradable because he won't pass the other team's physical.

    If the swelling is below your waist, I don’t want to hear about. Then again, I don’t think I want to hear about it period. ;)

    at a certain point in the swelling process, it's impossible to say where the waist really is. A waist becomes more theory than reality

    But, it's the strangest thing. The swelling goes down in intervals and then returns. There must be a cause and effect correlation.

    How did Don Rickles ever avoid being sexiest man of the year? How did he not get invited to the celebrity basketball team?

    Casey mentioned in some podcast a while back that Lillard was very upset that this got out and they he hadn't told anyone about it. He didn't want an excuse. I also recall Dame telling a story to Ant about how he's coaching Simons to play through pain and telling him how to ask out only if his play becomes a detriment to the team. Perhaps misguided, but Dame is a bit old school in these things. And he's played through quite a few injuries over his career so it wouldn't surprise me if he were doing the same now.

    That said, he had a similar bad slump last season in April and turned it around completely after having candid convos and re-focusing sessions with his guy Beckner.

    If his abdomen is hurting him you’d think he wouldn’t try the epic poster dunk that he got called for pushing off on last night
