    Apparently it's closer to the Moda Center on the other end of the street. It'll be flat!

    There's a gravel patch by Broadway that's usually Taxi service for games that might be unoccupied.

    It doesn't matter if I'm mentioned or not.
    Personally I'd rather people not talk about my game. Always has made me uncomfortable.
    The only thing I'll say is this.
    I'm prolly the only player in the media bracket who could make scoring difficult for @BonesJones
    He'd still score no doubt. But he'd have to work much, much harder than he did last year.

    We'll play a little 1v1 and see how it goes then.

    That's my game too. Really, that was my only purpose in showing up to the practices--to provide a defensive presence to help prep the guys for the tourney. I can't score at all, but I can pass, rebound and defend.

    Eh I can score if I need to.
    I'd rather just pick and choose my spots as being super competitive isn't really my thing anymore.
    Someone can be better than I, or more skilled than I and it doesn't bother me.

    Just defense has always been a thing.
    Just ask the guy who wouldn't shut up about how easily he could score on me last year.
    Theres a video of him coming up with nothing but air on a 3rd shot in a row. Only for me to tell him he shoots like Westbrook.
    The guy was @BonesJones height, certainly not as quick, nor did he have the endurance Torey does. Nor was he as skilled as Torey is.
    But at the end of the day this guy trying to 'prove' he can score on me. Let @BonesJones get the game close again and force them to call a timeout.
    Only when this guy decided to pass the ball and find our 3rd who was a weaker defender than both Torey and I did they start to score again.
    It actually bothers me still a little that I was forced to switch off of this guy because our 3rd wasn't playing tight enough defense on his man. It would've allowed a wide open 3 if I didn't.
    Siiigh.
    Oh well this year from the sounds of things, we won't have these issues with @hoopsjock & @dviss1
    Cause I know @BonesJones can move his feet. If he says Hoops and Dviss can as well. I trust his judgement.

    Ha, that's actually a misspelling of my last name.
    Whatever though. As long as there is no issues with the 'roster' it doesn't matter.

    Your defense was so good last year it looks like they named a court after you.

    There are some who are delusional in thinking the blazers are completely worthless. Id much rather read king over them. ;)

    Ive said it before.
    You cant win unless you believe you can win.
    Top to bottom. Belief in oneself is what separates the good from the great at the pro level.
    That belief can help to be cemented when the fans believe too. Sometimes irrationally so.
