    Why did the Blazers force you to take your Toradol?

    I don't see this ending well for the Blazers.

    When you borrow something from someone you ALWAYS return it in the same condition you borrowed it in.

    We clearly did this with GPII, fuck Golden State!

    What are you doing here?

    I thought we'd shot you all up on Toradol.

    If the trade falls through, I can't make the Knox appreciation thread, but I can do 2 of the 5 2nd round picks, if needed.

    initially, it's a bad look for Portland because it's all one-sided

    but this also paints Golden State into a corner. I'd think they really want the trade to complete. But is they don't rescind, they'd look real bad playing Payton this season. 3 months from now is the middle of May

    also. just FYI cuz i'm reading some bullshit on Toradol.

    It's a fucking NSAID just like ibuprofen (Advil) only stronger. It's not an opioid, it's just a strong pain killer. My wife was on it for a few weeks to relieve inflammation after her Covid shot. It's harmless. People can binge on that shit and it won't do anything.

    Do you know what "thugging it out" is? Dame playing after cortisone shots because he didn't want to miss a single game last year until he had to get sat down forcibly by the medical staff to take care of himself.

    Soft ass POS.

    As long as the trade goes through. If he stays a Blazer, he'll declare himself out for the season.

    Then they must have given me something else with it. My apologies for any confusion.

    With the stuff he's alleged, the Blazers probably would DNP him for the rest of the season if they didn't renounce him. Could you imagine the fan or teammate reception to him?

    Yep. It would be like when Jason Kidd came here after the French fry incident.

    Not sure what you were given, but Toradol is just keterolac, taken orally. It's not even considered a controlled substance because it's not a benzodiazepine that can lead to addiction. Just a stronger advil for all intents and purposes.

    The only time it can lead to somewhat noteworthy issues is if taken WITH an opioid. By itself, it's harmless.

    Funny thing about this ... if you look on "Payton" or "GPII" trending on Twitter, there's actually a video of Payton in workout clothes in the Warrior weightroom with Steph and other GS players and it says "GPII back with the team already," or something like that.
