    Probably just the Thunder and not including the Sonics franchise is my guess

    I will say that I was wrong about Chet. Didn’t think his body would stand the physicality of the league. Guy plays VERY smart!

    In this video, a doctor explains the situation. Worth watching.



    Long story short, the doctor sides with the doctors. The doctors did nothing inappropriate and the trainer is making much ado about nothing.
    Because you disagree with the style of managing the injury, doesn't mean the injury is being managed poorly.

    Two years is definitely not the standard of care for an ACL tear. Absolutely the medical staff is going to disagree with you.
    This is more a difference of opinion, rather than bad, dangerous medical care.

    This will obviously be followed by a post from @AldoTrapani about why the fuck we drafted Shaedon instead of Chet.

    Thanks, my man. It was great seeing Coach again, said it was weird being back, but he loves this place. Funny thing was Steph Curry was walking right in front of him, and I walked right past and gave Coach a big hug. And he said he just assumed everybody wanted to see Curry before him!

    Why didn’t they work a miracle vs Pelicans? Our depth (Curry, Kanter, Hood) was the difference. All thanks to moves by Olshey.

    That was the best team Olshey put together by far, but he couldn't afford to retain it because of the other terrible contracts he dealt out.

    I don't use it either. If you don't like what someone has said i just leave it alone or say something to diffuse it. Try to be nice to people on here and they are pretty receptive to it. It did take a bit to get out of the bad habits i learned on O-Live.
    If you Ignore a bunch of people you simply are out of touch on here.

    We had no answer for Davis offensively or defensively. They killed us during the season as well, except when AD was injured. We only beat them during the season because AD went down.

    That team was a terrible matchup for us.

    We didn't have enough talent on the team to overcome that bad matchup.

    I’m still not sure? I wonder about Wemby as well?
    Let’s see how this season unfolds?

    Looks like after this upcoming trip, Bronny is heading down to the G. Most likely for good.

    You just became my favorite poster!

    4 others rec'd or agreed. I won't say names, but 3 are nicknamed Well-Known Member. The main culprit's redundant nickname is NorthEastPortland'sFinest, from N.E.P.

    I thought Kanter helped a lot, but Hood was overrated. Hood had seemed good only by having a top coach, Quin Snyder. Olshey, who couldn't evaluate talent, just signed a well-known name.

    I disagree with you, but I'm glad to see people disagreeing this time without snide cuts like, "Look at who you're responding to."
