Game Thread PLAY-IN GAME# 1: GRIZZLIES VS BLAZERS - AUGUST 15, 2020 - SATURDAY, 11:30, ABC

Yes, and steal home court advantage.

 

Yep that home court with the computer enhanced advertisements on it and the video fans clapping and smiling that i'm not sure the players can even see?

 

Look at how much water there is in the refrigerator. How in the world is Nas suffering from dehydration?! He must have fallen asleep poolside for a few hours or something.

 

Few hours? More like a few days.

 

Nah, dehydration is real down here man. When I first moved I was working at a golf course for a few weeks while looking for a permanent gig and being outside for 5 hours a day had me coming home peeing practically brown occasionally. I was staying as hydrated as I could, too.

 

I work as a field biologist here in Florida. I spend 10+ hours a day out in the shit. Dehydration is really real. No doubts or jokes.

 

Were you still dehydrated a week later?

Ive never been to Florida, but I lived upstate New York. It doesn't get the humidity fanfare that the SE does, but upstate NY in the summer was EXTREMELY humid, I just cant compare to FL or LA or anything, because ive never made it down further south than DC.

Im Italian, im a big guy. I sweat and when I get heated up, I cant stop. And Ive pissed brown., But never taken 5 days to rehydrate.

Also, do you have state of the art medical and training staff and facilities at your disposal?

Not trying to minimize your statement or trivialize your weight on the hydration issues down there, but Im still having a hard time buying it. Even if he was outside all day, the next four days stay indoors with AC. No reason he cant get rehydrated in 48 hours, just like MMA fighters do.

 

It can be brutal, I agree. If you don't have a gallon of water you're gonna have a bad time.

 

They were assigning CJ to Morant much of the game, presumably so Dame could save some energy on that end. That's a near-impossible ask for someone with a back injury. Putting Trent on Morant was the best move of the night. I don't recall exactly when that took place, but it seems like it might have coincided with CJ's 4th quarter eruption.

That said, I don't remember who was guarding Brooks when he made late shots... Had CJ switched over to him?

 

My guess is the Blazers are being nice to Little and not saying he has uncontrollable diarrhea. That shit will dehydrate you easy.

 

Everyone is different and I don't know what caused his dehydration, but I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a fewdays to get back into game shape. Also, not sure how/what the concussion protocol effected his body and recovery. Too many factors.

 

So will you guys go figure out WTF is up with little then? Deliver him a truck of bottled water? I think we may need him in this series.

 

Wait. did I miss sometrhing? He had a concussion?

That changes everything if so.

 

It was a while ago, but yeah.

Gotcha. Thanks. Missed that or something. Yeah, that changes things. Concussions are weird too and have different effects on people.

 

If you don't come back into this forum we wouldn't miss all your negative opinions.

 

I can understand this also. But if that was the case it would be a Covid-19 symptom. So again if this is the case he would have to quarantine.

 

Yep you’re a hater. The league is about scoring now. It’s essential to have multiple guys that can create their own shot and take over games. CJ is one of the few guys that can do that.

 

"Ha, water!? You mean the stuff that's in toilets!?"

Better cut-out the middle man and get this kid some Brawndo!

 

Electrolites are the answer to everything!!!
