Or how about he's just a reserved person in general and not someone community oriented and outgoing like Dame? Jesus Christ, the people in this forum assumes so goddamn much about players.

The thing is that Hood looks natural out there. I expect him to have bad games down the line but it seems like he fits the system better than some of the other guys we have. As for the Nik comparisons? Well, Nik has never been a starter of Rodney's caliber. He hasn't proven he can do what...

Eh, that whole Andre Miller thing was overblown by attention whores like Jason Quick. It wasn't like Roy went up and outright stated something like "Miller shouldn't be on the team". Instead, it was during a conference interview setting where he responded to a question about the team being...

Honestly, many politicians in NY or CA tend to already share views like her - only they don't parade out in the open like she does. I guess my problem with people like her is that they tend to support or enact policies that sound good but have disastrous long term effects which, ironically...

Yeah, hopefully the State Attorney can review this case and find some measure of justice. I understand it can be technically difficult to find an exact charge based on what we see (guy pushing him out of nowhere, Stand Your Ground law existing in the state) so if you charge him with the wrong...

I don't think it's weather so much as it's the perception of the town. For example, does anyone here think once of Milwaukee, Salt Lake City, Memphis, OKC, Charlotte in their entire daily routine? I certainly don't. Even now, the thought of vacationing there seems more like a hassle than my...

Lillard didn't seem very enthused in that recent interview. Essentially, if he is as loyal as he says, I really think this team needs a re-tool asap while Lillard's still got some juice left. If nothing is accomplished now, Neil is really setting himself up for another situation that will bite...

McDougal is a classic. Trump may be an asshat but at least, he has good taste in gold diggers.

Sounds like an easy way to make more money in Vegas if you're a Blazer fan. These predictions always fail. Barring any serious injuries, I expect Portland to be #8-9 seed this year.

This offseason is definitively "Strike II" for Neil Olshey. Forget the excuses of "Davis can't spread the offense in the playoffs". Losing Ed Davis is going to hurt this team so bad in the regular season that the Blazers probably won't even make the playoffs this year. Which is unfortunate...

Even if Portland offered CJ for Kawhi.... Derozan > CJ. Spurs take Derozan every time.

Toronto has got to be dumb as fuck to make this deal. If their goal is to win or get to the Finals, Kawhi for Demar and OG is such a lateral move that I can't see them doing that much better than last season. A healthy Boston and healthy Philly is still better than them. Meanwhile, Kawhi...

Speaking as one of the few non-liberals on this forum: My view is that geopolitics trumps partisan politics (Pun intended - and then some). Let's not act like Russia - especially Putin's gang - has forgiven the US for all its successes over Russia from the 1950s-now. If Russia had played...

If you read the non-ESPN spun up BS, Paul George has always said he wants to win above all else. He has always had a good attitude. Butler, on the other hand, has been cited as having issues with teammates and plays with a chip on his shoulder due to being ignored for so long. So, there's a...

I actually recall Glickman briefly answering the Malone trade in a Rip City magazine interview. Essentially, the interview goes that either the GM or owner saw that Malone couldn't catch the ball in practice so he practically scoffed and said, "Why are we paying 'xyz dollars' to a guy who...
