    What will that mean in terms of your health? That sounds like a good thing? I know what happened, but is it an arrhythmia at this point?

    I tend to have more in-season views than off-season. I am just too into baseball this time of year to really follow the off-season stuff. I also believe if I don't have an educated reason to have an opinion, I shouldn't share an ignorant one. lol.

    I can go to a gym, but you’ll always wake up a LAKER FAN every morning.

    They will put me under and shock my heart into a normal pattern.....half my heart is not functioning much...only pumps 25 percent of the blood I need...I have systolic congestive heart disease....docs say if I stick to my rehab I could get it back up to about 55 percent in 6 months or so....it's not curable but with proper management and diet I could live another 20 years...without it, I'd have 5 years at best

    I know why this was edited but I’m thinking maybe there should be a disclaimer at the bottom stating edited by mod? It was left not making sense.

    It usually does, it's odd that it didn't.

    I think HCP edited. Unless you did? Now it’s back to original form... or I’m losing my mind. Lol.

    I am wondering how some people are so realistic that they think that since LaMarcus left somehow we should be built to have knocked off the warriors i.n those 3 years and even the upcoming year. Is that realistic or delusional. Taking a positive outlook on where we are but also realizing the team isnt in a title position this season is realistic. Understanding that ET doesnt have trade value because of his contract is realistic. Yeah that contract was a mistake but when you label every move as a mistake that's not realistic.

    "Realist" is a term pessimists use to justify their negativity.

    Again, different expectations. I want a crescendo, not a fiery crash and burn. But to each their own.

    And I love the fact that the ONLY thing you can crack on me about is my weight. That’s weaksauce bro. That’s low hanging fruit. That’s just lazy bro.

    How can you say, "No there's not"? 3 games. That was our margin for error. There is a very very real possibility we're a lottery team next season with the 5th highest payroll.

    This group of guys since Dame has had more post season success than we had in over a decade.I think we previously went 14 years without success..this team swept the Thunder and beat the Warriors twice last Feb....I don't see lottery team written in any of that narrative...maybe we will be a lottery team but right now going into training camp....we're all 0-0....I've seen some bad Blazer teams and I don't put this group in that category...our margin for error is the next game...try to enjoy it. Paul Allen could give a shit about our payroll...we're lucky that way. He has more expensive toys than our team salary for the year
