Game Thread 2022-23 Game #57 - BLAZERS VS LAKERS - FEBRUARY 13, 2023 - MONDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

I don't know if it had anything to do with it, but he knows he was offered up in trade talks. No way could Cronin have been making an offer for "difference makers" without including Anf.

 

Thinking independently and talking nonsense are not the same thing.

 

Even his body language has looked off imo. A bit disgruntled.

 

It's hard to tell what that's about; could just be frustration with his own play.

 

I really like the kid. The one thing he does that drives me crazy thought is sometimes he seems more worried about boxing out then getting the rebound. He will be boxing someone out and someone will scoot right in front of him to get the board. If he would just go for the rebound sometimes.

 

Yeah, he has some "rookie" moments like missing bunnies etc. but he is really well-rounded and improving. The high post distribution thing is invaluable.

 

Why don't you take the time to read up on him. He's a thoughtful guy who grew up with different medical approaches.

Of course, labeling someone is always a nice heuristic rather than actually giving it any thought.

 

Exactly what did he say that was nonsense? He took the first shot because the CDC stated that it kept others from getting infected with COVID. He stated he did so out of communal good. Once the research showed that it merely lessened the symptoms, his health decisions came from a different tradition, so he chose other ways to keep himself healthy.

You may not agree with his line of thinking, but he's entitled to his opinion. It wasn't an unconsidered one.

 

I think that's what has me cheesed about candrc's response. Just the assumption he was just some knee-jerk conspiracy theorist. I read a few articles where he explained his position, and it was reasoned.

 

What happened to his Australian accent @DUB ?

 

In reading up on him, he moved to the North Shore of Sydney (and if you've never been, it's FREAKING PARADISE) when he was to and moved to Sammamish when he was nine. My guess is any accent he acquired faded over the years. You can still hear a slight trace of one, at least to my ear, it's just very faint.

 

Worth watching over and over....

 

Such a talented kid. His ceiling is only limited by what's between his ears. If he embraces Dame's approach to the game and learns to grind, we have an absolute steal.

 

He has a very interesting connection to the team…. His mom is best friends lot very close friends with one of our flight attendants that worked for Mr.Allen for years! She was our head flight attendant on Blazer1. So she’s know this kid his whole life and swears he’s the best. Down to earth, quality family. Small world.

 

I want to go in the west coast. Just saw a movie filmed there with Simon Pegg called Kill Me Three Times. Water looks amazing.

 

It’s ironic after her comments towards me about weight loss in the wheels thread.
