OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD - June 2021

Yeah well most of us don't live in "Lake Oswego" like natt.

 

It was a nice day today.


This is not my house.
I stole this picture from the internet.

 

I'm convinced the Clippers like to go down 0-2 on purpose.

 

It takes a COACH!

And I’ve got this feeling that the 2021/22 Coach of the year award will be going to one Becky Hammon, of the Portland Trailblazers

 

I'd imagine that when you sign Kawhi you know what you're getting as far as the lack of leadership. The guy is aloof and always has been.

 

Nice picture

 

Now That is a cool Pic.

 

Funny thing is, the only time I see players/ex players is at the airport, or other city's airports.

 

While waiting for my entrance to the USAF , worked at Plaid Pantry. Walking to work , saw Darnell Valentine walking the same way so crossed the street and said hi. He was super cool and actually talked all the way to my work. I got his autograph, and still have it. Working security, after stint in service, saw Kenny Carr . Super cool. Met Jerome Kersey at Wong's Autobody . Was delivering parts, and Jerome got his detailing done there. Again super cool. Moved to Denver, and ran into Calvin Natt at a Cub Foods. He was in the Mortuary Business then. I was wearing my Broncos gear, and found out he was a Raiders Fan. Very Quiet, and intense man. Told him i was a Blazers Fan, and appreciated his time there. He seemed kinda like, Meh. Ol' well. While stationed in Hawaii, went to the Rainbow Classic. Sat a couple seats away from Pete Newell. For those who don't know, he was a famous college coach who had a Big Mans Camp that many a Pro Center/Power Forward would attend. Many Blazers went to his camps. At that Rainbow Classic, Mark Bryant, Seton Hall & future Blazer, was playing. Listening to Newell talk was very cool.

 

fuck man.. what a disaster of a draft

 

Chauncey Billups

 

Jason Kidd seems to be getting a lot of the same love about his criminal past from Mavs fans. Some don’t care, but a lot do. I work with a Mavs fan who is furious about his past

 

That game was to be expected from the Suns.
Booker was noticeably hampered by a broken nose. I understand this very well. A fresh broken nose hurts every time you move. It will get better but a bad game is understandable at this point.
Chris Paul was out 11 days. Obviously he was rusty. He will have a better game in game 4.

Clippers held home court which they had to do or this series was over.

 

That picture shows me how fast Atlanta already lapped us.. sad

 

FTFY

 

You live in north PDX. You have to get out to the burbs once in awhile.
