    Why would a root canal stop him from playing? Root canal makes the pain go AWAY. I felt great after my root canal.

    Explain the Vicodin then.

    I know I was out of it for a day or two.

    I felt better after my root canal. Didn't sleep for weeks leading up to it from the constant late-night throbbing pain, but as soon as I had the surgery, I felt so much better. The Vicodin would have helped cope leading up to the surgery more than it helped after surgery.

    My dentist had to leave the room because they drained the infection for 20+ minutes.

    For the record.... He was the Blazers official dentist at the time and said it was one of the worst infections he'd ever seen, was surprised further medical procedures weren't needed because the infection was so horrific.

    He called me later that night after the operation and put Sabonis on the phone from the Rose Garden to check on me.

    I still spoke more clearly than Sabonis.

    I used the Vicodin more for fun than for pain relief. When Sabs called and I was higher than a Georgia Pine (for pain relief and pleasure), I thought they were fucking with me. I could hear the thunderous crowd roaring behind it all, so I was able to snap to reality for a few. It was Sabonis, after all.

    The world's largest sugar pine is in southern Oregon. Coincidence?

    Well, the conspiracy runs deep, as someone tried to kill the tallest sugar pine about 15 years ago. They girdled it with a chain saw. The suspect was never caught. Pretty sad actually. I used camp and backpack all around that area in the Umpqua national forest.

    Well, it is coming from a public safety perspective. It will hurt local fishing guides and rafting outfits as well. And Douglas county does not need any more job loss as it still hasn't recovered from or found an alternative to the logging industry. It's a very depressed place currently. There will be a lot of downed trees this winter and the river will be quite hazardous. I understand closing the river for a while, but how much do we really need to be protected from ourselves?

    It wouldn't surprise me if we lose this game. We barely beat a Davis-less Pelicans team last night.....Griffin and Jordan are going to be a problem. I've seen no evidence thus far in the season that this new slimmer Nurk can take on someone like Jordan. Nurk will get his, but he won't out-rebound Jordan or be the kind of Defensive monster that Jordan is.

    This. And I'm sorry, but putting Collins on Griffin is laughable. It'll be like a pencil trying to wrestle with a oak log. Collins needs to SERIOUSLY bulk up before he can take on someone like Griffin.

    Isn't Kendall the man? Or am I thinking of someone else? Or is it Kylie Jenner who's the man?

    I remember things differently. I remember Beverly talking a bunch of shit about Dame, and then Dame lighting his ass up in the playoffs.

    He wasn't talking shit by game 6.

    I just spent 3 hours in a dentist chair this past Monday having a root canal done on a molar (4 roots) which they basically couldn't get numb (dentist had to keep injecting lidocaine directly into my tooth just to be able to keep working on it, and even then I could feel nearly everything). However, once it was done and filled, while there was still some site tenderness, there was certainly nothing that would have prevented any physical activity, and nothing stronger than ibuprofen required.

    I'm with KS on this. I can't imagine why a root canal would impact Turner's ability to play that next day.

    I give you props for not knowing the Jenners. You are a winner at life.

    Bless you sir. Frankly, I'd rather get a wasabi enema than read about celebrity gossip.

    I'm pretty sure @SlyPokerDog gets those wasabi enemas weekly. My mom said she was on fire the last time she pegged him.
