    K. Go ahead and rewrite history and don’t acknowledge what everyone outside of this sub knows: that Brandon Roy rushed back from an injury.

    Takes more than one to lose all the cartilage in your knee.

    So try answering it again.

    There are two assumptions you're making here.
    1. Brandon Roy rushed back from injury before he was physically ready to do so
    2. Roy rushing back from that injury hastened the end of his career.
    It's generally understood that #1 is true, but that #2 is false because (as has been mentioned) the permanent damage to his knees had already been done by that point.

    You willfully forget history and fail to learn from history. Hence, we’re putting CJ at risk, just like we did to Roy, to try to win a first round playoff series.

    You don’t have to dwell on injuries to grasp that blazers fans/coaches/staff put way too much pressure on players to return early for playoff games that probably won’t matter much in the long term.

    If anyone thought perhaps Nurkalicious was HCP, here's proof positive that he's not. No chance HCP knows how to spell "pedantic", let alone use it in a sentence.

    Are you sure you’re not the one making assumptions? You sure rushing back to a playoff game before you’re healed has nothing to do with aggravating his injury? That makes no sense.

    There was permanent damage and he made it worse.

    Again, you're making assumptions that aren't really supportable. It's tough to have conversations with people who pass opinion off as fact. We have no way of knowing if CJ is coming back too early, or if his popliteus strain is sufficiently healed, so it's presumptuous to claim we're putting him at risk.

    Nurkalicious, this is meant as an honest post as to why you're being treated the way you are so even though I know you aren't going to listen I'm going to say it anyway.

    When you make a comment like this:
    And then when people point out to you that there is a completely different medical staff in charge and you say this:
    You keep making posts about Roy and the medical staff back then but there is literally no one still around from that time. The owner is dead. The CEO is different. The President of Basketball Operations and GM are different. The entire coaching staff is different. The entire medical staff is different. In fact they completely gutted anyone that had anything to do with the medical staff after the Roy years.

    It doesn't sit well when you argue about something, can't acknowledge that you were incorrect, and then continue arguing like you're still right. Just my two cents, but if you just had a little bit of give and take instead of always complaining about others while not recognizing your part then maybe this would be a little more cordial. Or is it that this is what you want and you don't want a respectful conversation?

    He could’ve sat out that series and it wouldn’t have made a difference to his future. His knees were already done.

    Dont think you can prove he made it worse. Chances are he did, but could just be that was the end anyways.

    That is the 3rd time he's used that word. I did a search for that word and came up with some interesting results. @yuyuza1 uses it a lot, but he doesn't seem like a burner account type. That nikoloukos (Sp?) guy used to use it too, did he get banned or just disappear? Where's @ripcityboy been? He's used it. @oldmangrouch used it a couple times. @Natebishop3 uses it occasionally. As do you mr @PtldPlatypus, lol, are you @Nurkalicious? I gave up going back any farther, ha ha.
