    This is not true. We beat the Pelicans with AD in New Orleans in late March. Dame scored 41 points and then in the playoffs, he got shut down.

    Hood was great for us. He won the 4OT game for us in the playoffs. He also scored 25 points on 12 shots in must-win Game 6.

    Wemby took bad shot after bad shot last game. The skills are there, but this shouldn't be tolerated. If Pop senile, or is he kowtowing to VW?

    You mean that game that AD went out with an injury when they were up and we came back to win after he was gone?

    Kind of proves my point...

    Looks like former Blazer G leaguer Kevin Knox is finally going to go get a paycheck playing in Turkey after bouncing all around the G league and getting paid like a high school teacher.

    You always have a sharp memory of individual games from long ago, so without looking it up, I'm sure you're right.

    What do you teach?

    Straighten up. Very important answer. It will determine whether I demote you to my 2nd-favorite poster. Answer correctly and I will relieve you of your Sir obligation, incurred in your previous answer to me.

    I considered that, but it would come dangerously close to heads.

    Computer graphics...it's too real for that, and some people get out of the way. That's evidence for a drone.

    The old method was to put a rail on the ceiling and slide the camera, but looking forward there is no ceiling rail.

    Yes, and was injured toward the end. Then we came back and won.

    New theory: They flew a drone at half a mile per hour, so it wasn't dangerous a foot above people's heads. They play it in fast motion, so it looks like it's whizzing at hairtop level.

    (I just invented that phrase, from treetop level. You can copyright it. It's yours.)

    When Ben Mathurin came into the league he sure talked a big game. Like he was going to be the best player in the NBA.
