    Cost us a Chip?? Why don’t you check the boxscore to see how Grant and Sabonis played in game 7. Sheed was the only one who produced. He was a great defender. People say he choked in 4th but he actually scored 7 points in the qtr.

    As for the towel incident (different game), Sheed was frustrated because Sabonis flopped and elbowed Sheed in the face.

    Then you don't remember what went on or maybe you were not old enough to have been around and feel the ramifications to what he did around here.
    Maybe you only value playoff wins? To this day he drags the Portland TrailBlazers through the mud. He has absolutely nothing good to say about the city.
    Billips and Brown said he was the piece that moved them over the hump and got them a chip. Not "The Reason" they won. Big difference. If Kanter plays well enough to help this team get the the WCF. Are you gonna say he was the reason? Or are you gonna call it a team effort that Dame lead and Kanter was a huge part of? CJ? Maybe Curry and Hood?
    When they lose how will you respond if lets say Aminu throws a fit and a towell in Kanters face because he is demanding more touches? Seriously Sheed was not helping the Blazers when he was here.

    No. This is well documented that he was looking for the pass. Had nothing to do with the flop.
    Sorry. You ain't gonna change my stance on the dirtbag. Rasheed Wallace and his antics cost the team a bunch more than a Championship.

    Nope

    Stick a fork in any thought of wanting Cousins.

    Because of a soft tissue injury? So I guess hamstring injuries are off the table also?

    What do we need Cousins for? We've got Nurk and Collins already. We might be able to afford Kanter, but there is no way in hell we can afford Cousins.

    In the "pop culture familiarity" section on the application, I simply wrote, "this space intentionally left blank". @SlyPokerDog's old, so he probably didn't read it.

    No need to crow about it. I'm sure there are others besides just me that prefer to remain unsullied by that show. Plus, it'd take a lot more than a night's watch for me to catch up.

    I actually kind of want to watch that show, but it's intimidating. It's got like 7 seasons, That's a lot of tv time when you have kids and other things to do.

    I wouldn't classify a torn quad as a mere soft tissue injury. And yes, a torn hamstring would be concerning as well. You weaken your point by using langue implying this was a mere strain.

    Here is how i watched it. I went to Walmart and bought the CD set. Then sat down and watched one show when i had time. Most episodes are about an hour. You end up getting your stuff done and spending time before bed watching a show. Don't try this during Blazer season but after playoffs you will have a little void. Might be a good time.

    Muscle is a soft tissue injury. I guess you don't know that. They heal. They heal completely.

    He doesn’t fit the culture, still only 28 but I haven’t been impressed with him this season. I’d rather go with Kanter/Zach/Skal until Nurk gets back and if Kanter leaves then Davis/Zach/Skal. Skal looked really good against Sac, at least 10-12 mpg good.
