Event Rip City 3 on 3 tournament, 2018 edition

Neither does a bunch of guys who don't know you talking shit about you mean much of anything.

I think Meyers' problems are primarily mental: Too slow of reaction time, tendency to lose confidence in his shot.

 

Don't tell me what to do. Although I agree 100%.

 

Absolutely was just pointing out correlation vs causation.
I agree with your take on Meyers too. I like to poke the bear once in a while with trading Meyers so I’m guilty there.

 

Hey kept saying "this is just for fun" whenever dviss said something and that he was way too intense for the media bracket. That guy was on KOIN News later that night.

Yeah, pretty much.

 

I tend to agree, unfortunately he is blessed with boyish good looks. Not griddle hard stone. No matter how hard he works, he will still look like an easy going loafer.

I know. I look like a complete jackass. For years i tried to change it. Now i just accept how i look and follow suit with the appropriate personality. And this is exactly why i think he should play beach volleyball. I think he would dominate and become beloved. Maybe even put ithe on the map for sports or something.

 

I'm not feeling sorry for the guy; that's hard to do when someone is getting paid $10M a year to play basketball. I do think that he worked his butt off before last season and was demonstrably better, but was caught in a numbers game as far as getting any PT to try to prove himself. With Ed being gone now, maybe he gets a bit more chance, but I still see him as the 3rd option at both PF an C.

 

No offense, but Saturday. You just looked like a person.
No different from any of us.

 

How dare you insult the great @Orion Bailey by calling him a person like all of us!

 

How are you feeling today?

 

My knees are absolutely shot right now. Hard to stand up from a seated position right now.

 

Damn that sucks! I have a game in a couple hours and I'm not going to be moving very well.

 

I went to my doctor.
As @dviss1 said there are no mild concussions.
But my doctor diagnosed me with a concussion.
Which I was actually surprised she was so certain of the diagnosis after just looking at my eyes and asking me questions.
I figured they'd have more tests or something? Or at least have me come back in a week.
IDK I've never had a concussion so I don't know.

My head hurts, especially where I was hit.
Looking at things too long is taxing so I don't think I'll be spending much time on this forum until I feel better.
Or the TV/Internet.
I'm sluggish and I'm told that I'm repeating myself a bit often.
My fiancee is less than pleased. In fact she is mad at me right now because I dove home yesterday.

But it comes and goes.
An hour ago I was completely fine.
Had to stop writing this up and come back to it because focusing hurt a bit more than I'd like to admit.
What doesn't come and go is the eye I was hit in, it's painful to move it. No damage, just painful.

 

That's rough, I hope you feel better soon.

 

aren't you like 21 or something?

 

22.

 

Concussions can really mess with you. I remember 2 days after my son was born it was my birthday and my wife was still in the hospital so me and a couple buddies took my boat out and went skiing. Took the hardest fall in my life and slapped the left side of my face hard. I stayed in the water for a bit and then got in to go home. To this day I still don't remember putting the boat on the trailer and driving home and putting the boat in the driveway (it's a long narrow driveway and not easy on a good day, but I got it in place). I went inside and called my wife as the hospital had a special dinner for the parents of the newborns and she immediately knew something wasn't right. Kind of scary. Lay low and take it easy for a few days,.
