Late Summer Kool-Aid Drinking

I think the roster is broken and has been since they decided to basically play "Dame" and "Dame Light" as their two starting guards. That being said, the Blazers have some above average pieces to the puzzle that if coached right could achieve more than the sum of their parts. But the real fix should have been trading CJ years ago for wings and complimentary pieces to Lillard, and Olshay just has been unwilling to do that.

 

Less drop scheme = 10 more wins... have you not been paying attention?

 

Where is that Ken Kesey guy when you need him???

 

I got to have a beer with him at Chez Ray's pub in Eugene about a year before he passed...he and I were the only guys at the bar and he was talking with Chez Ray...I met him a few times in my life at Gary Snyder's cabin

 

These statements aren't anything new. Chauncey will help and anyone who watched the playoffs knows how bad the Melo and Kanter pairing was.

"Every year nothing changes". Except for the fact that we have a new coach for the first time in almost a decade and two of our starters we've added in the past year. But yes, nothing has changed ...

And as far as your last sentence, if you were Dame and would leave for New York or Philly, then I'm curious why you're still here instead of on a Knicks or Sixers forum.

 

What team, what sport?

 

hot dog eating contest?

 

I want to make something clear right now I DID not put in Sly name i was calling out Chris in PDX not sure how this happened even though I have an idea but i will deal with that end off the forum with Sly and this site

Sorry Sly this happened and anyone who reads this wanted to clear the air

 

I am close to the family of the other Merry Prankster out in Pleasant Hill.
Met Ken on quite a few occasions over the years. And actually did "sip" some cool-aid with the clan. I have some fond memories for sure (and some nights with no memory at all) 94' Rose Bowl was a blast as were the many Grateful Dead concerts they got me backstage passes to.

 

I jammed once out on the farm 20 years ago but he wasn't there...I knew Ken mostly form N. California and the Sierra's in the 70s..Gary Snyder was my neighbor

 

I met them too but sipped too much kooliad and now cant remember anything.

 

need opposable thumbs to do tools right...your'rrerr out of luck

 

1/10 for originality- I've read this same post from 50 other folks.
0/10 for Grammar and spelling
2/10 on the troll attempt.

What an abysmal post.

 

Yep. Another first round exit for Lakers.

 

Philip Whalen was my grandma’s brother.

 

This has me wondering; is it really better to be an incomplete tool than a complete one?

 

Won't bother reading the rest of the replies what you said is simply spot on!

 

That's so cool...he was a big zen dude as I remember.....Gary and Masa were big on Zen.....from a character in a Kerouc novel to a Zen master....quite a life!

 

My only Kesey story: We were watching a movie on TV and it was really confusing, I think because the name was different than the novel. I think only stoned people would think it was confusing. It might have been something else, like they changed the rivers or something. We were so curious that we picked up a phone book and looked up his number and called. The missus answered and was very kind to explain things to us, so we could get back to enjoying the movie.
