    Michael Doleac’s dad was a Portland dentist.

    Still practices out on 108th and Halsey by the ghetto Winco.

    That explains why Seattle and Vancouver were so much worse for injuries than Portland

    Being a dentist in Portland is like having an evergreen money tree...

    In my defense, their injuries were so bad, the teams had to move.

    I saw Sabas dominate Robinson & Manning in the Olympics. Before his injuries, he was u unstoppable. He and the Big red head were two of the best passing centers to ever play the game.

    You were. The team that drafted him dumped him. And they're the top front office in the NBA!

    I can’t be right all the time, Beags.

    I also was a huge Rui fan.

    Phil Doleac is an Orthodontist who works at Magic Smiles locations in Portland and Beaverton.

    His assistants do most of the work during visits, but the Doctor might pull out the grinder to do some touch-up work.

    Two. We also drafted Sabonis. We didn’t get him in his prime when he dominated David Robinson but he was great and we did draft him.

    Totally agreed; if we’d had Sabas in 1990 we’d have been a dynasty.

    Yup. I’ve always thought that the only reason that MJ got six rings instead of maybe three is that Sabas didn’t come over earlier.

    When I was a teenager I thought we could have denied MJ all six rings with a Sabas-led Blazers... three feels more reasonable now haha!
