    Nah I think he has always rented and I think she says they are renting again. She just said at the beginning that “it looks like we are staying in Portland” or something like that.

    I would say we are as far away from having a center logjam as possible. We have a 2nd year center who will probably only play 25 min a game, and then WHAT?? Gonna be interesting to see how the games go when DC picks up that quick 2nd foul or is burnt out after the first 5 minutes of the first quarter.

    You are aware that someone, especially a professional athlete, can improve their cardio/endurance? But we all know the word cardio isn't in your vocab. #BAM and Mrs HCP told me endurance isn't your strong suite in the bedroom either. #OUCH #ONEPUMPCHUMP

    They pushed Denver to 7, Denver pushed OKC to 7. His fantasy has some merit.

    To be fair thinking DC won’t improve in conditioning is already a dead take if you watched last season and saw how much progress he made just in that single span.

    Well, first of all fuck off and thirdly……. how did you know about the whole stamina thing?

    Side note:Yes I do know they can improve their cardio and waited all last season for that to actually happen.

    What progress was that exactly? You said “if we watched” last season…. I watched EVERY minutes of EVERY game and I sure didn’t see improvement.

    over the last part of the season; Clingan's minutes:

    31:53
    33:50
    30:12
    25:07
    26:04
    19:29
    31:37
    17:32
    32:53
    29:14
    29:45
    31:09
    26:45
    26:54
    27:08
    24:40

    and after all that, over his last 10 games he averaged 10 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 blocks. Can't be 7'2 & 280, out of shape, and do that

    I already said he’s only going to play 25 minutes a game……. I also said, THEN WHAT? Someone asked if we had a “logjam” I said, the complete opposite of that. Now if DA was still here, then my answer would be a definite YES.

    great post. However, I do think he'll be in even better shape next year.

    I think it will be closer to 28-30 minutes. He's the best, most dependable C Portland has. He won't have his minutes cut because of Yang. Maybe some will go to Timelord....until he gets injured again

    This is similar to how it goes when I play HCP and dunk on his ass.
