Seriously how many times have you heard a player or coach say that there is no such thing as 100% in professional sports? I've heard it a lot. We obviously had Gary cleared to play. I'm betting that's all we said about him, if there was anything said at all. If there was something that we did that was unethical then let the league penalize us for it. @Chris Craig you probably need to take the tin foil off of your head because there's no way that the league would penalize us a first rounder for something like this... a second rounder or two might be the penalty but it won't be a first rounder and the league is not actively trying to fuck us over or get Dame to leave our team... come on.
I think it could. If they asked him if he was good to go and he said he wasn't, I think they would fail his physical. The weird thing for me is that they said they were going to do xrays. If this has anything to do with his abdominal issues xrays would be the wrong test to do. I think there is a lot that doesn't make sense about this and if the league ends up coming out and just saying that they found no significant wrong doing, then we'll never know what the fuck is/was going on.
You're literally responding to one of these Warrior fans. Guy's been in this thread from early on hiding behind garbage cans throwing the occasional snide comment to posts about how this didn't pass the smell test. Now, when it's really looking like GS was just pot-stirring, calvin natt comes out of the shadows, saying he hasn't really followed the story and starts standing up for the Warriors and claiming there was no harm to the Blazers ... even though since Thursday there's been a campaign launched by the Athletics' GSW beat writer and picked up by two of the biggest national NBA writers that the Blazers are a dirty organization that "forced" GP2 to have large-dosage painkiller injections and to play even though he knew he couldn't. This guy's a fraud. I made my one comment back to him. I'd advise others to avoid him, because he's working from an intellectually dishonest angle now.
You're going to be shot up on Toradol as punishment for not following the national narrative and, you know, actually making sense.
Funny that someone who self-admittedly hasn’t followed the situation at all would mock and condescend on those that have followed it. Fascinating.
I think he meant that it's been confirmed that Payton didn't receive shots but did take some Toradol in pill form. Poster isn't saying Toradol shots don't exist, just that Payton didn't get them.
Yeah, that's what someone else said and all of us communicate unclearly from time to time. It's just that "There is no shot." sounded like there is no shot, not that there weren't any shots given or Gary didn't receive any shots. Like I said, it's cool. I say things in ways that aren't easily understood too.
I wasn't implying shots don't exist. That is an inane proposition. GP didn't have shots. Thus negating that whole fucking point of contention.
It will either be made very plain for us by the league when they take a second rounder or two away from us and tell everyone what we did wrong that needed that sort of discipline. Or more likely we'll never know anything because the league will come out with a statement saying that there wasn't any wrongdoing significant enough to warrant penalizing our team... which would leave all of this just as clear as it currently is and that is the clarity of mud.
