    If anyone can do it, it's Wesley.

    Seems like he's rehabbing in LA, probably Venice or Santa Monica.

    Actually looks more like Manhattan Beach with the longer sand and volleyball nets.

    That is a fantastic read.

    Back in time to support the team for the playoffs? Hell yeah.

    I am going to be devastated if we don't recognize him. He is the heart of our team and he clearly seems to want to be here.

    Really great article by Jason Quick.

    I really admire the way Wes is attacking the whole process. I'm rooting for the man even more than I'm rooting for the Blazer. Hope he stays here a long time.

    Is that a dildo in his hand? And what the f**k is with the Rockets' cast?

    Iron Man colors, and it looks like they are playing bags/cornhole.

    Great article!

    Did Wes' mom go under a skin bleaching treatment or have a pigment disease? This is what she used to look like [​IMG]

    Anywho, I can't wait for my favorite Blazer to get back on the court. He's going to have to overcome long odds, but I think he'll be one of the few who can do it. I hope he's a Blazer for the rest of his career.

    I'm sure it's the pigment thing.

    "Wesley Mathews rejoins the team and is greeted by teammate Joel Freehand as the team heads back to Portland."
