Matisse and Jeremy need to open a retreat together.

i agree. let's just all collectively also agree to sweep the vaccination stuff under the rug. he's a good dude (no shade, he really is).

 

[illmatic99]

yup.



best leader in sports, unquestionably.

You're the only one whom seems to have a problem with it....
You've brought it up at least twice now. No one else cares

on this board maybe. in my circles in real life, i had some people who were less than thrilled that we got him.

 

[Strenuus]

Starting to think Philly wasn't completely honest about Thybulle's shooting.

START AN INVESTIGATION THOSE LYING SONS OF BITCHES!

 

[Strenuus]

I dunno how much we will be able to use it but every time Matisse makes a three it's only right to say maTHREEse!

insightful interview

This makes Doc Rivers sound bad but I know I'm reading way too much into it lmao.

 

[Strenuus]

yup.



best leader in sports, unquestionably.

THATS MY PG. So much pride that he's on our team.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Does anyone still think that Watford can't be a solid rotation player on a good team?

There have been some pretty disparaging comments about him in here, idk, maybe because he wasn't drafted and people have to have the hype out of college.... He's always passed the eye test with me and is looking more solid all the time, like a guy that could make the 2nd unit click.

 

[Strenuus]

I've always liked Watford. Does what needs to be done and most of those things don't come with shine cause it's the little things. Gotta have a guy like Watford on your squad.

Mabeast!

They call him "Mathief the Disruptor"

If youd like some light reading before bed.

First thing you read is how that was a "MUST WIN GAME" for them.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Pretty fun to watch this.

So are folks a little less likely to string up Blazers management?

Probably more likely to string up Warriors management right now.

 

[TheGoldRanger]

I did not know grew up in the area. That's awesome.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I just figured out Nurk has me blocked on Twitter? I must have called him soft at some point and he actually read it?

 

[maxiep]

Starting to think Philly wasn't completely honest about Thybulle's shooting.

Shooting him up with Toradol to force him to play tonight did wonders for that shot!

 

[maxiep]

He grew up in Sammamish and went to UW.

 

[maxiep]

insightful interview

From an intellectual and personality standpoint, he reminds me of Channing Frye. I think he'll become a fan favorite, mostly for what he does off the floor. I mean when's the last time in an NBA interview that you heard a guy mention roadtripping for hikes and waterfalls?

 

[maxiep]

i agree. let's just all collectively also agree to sweep the vaccination stuff under the rug. he's a good dude (no shade, he really is).

I actually like guys who think independently, even if I may disagree with them. #KeepPortlandWeird

 

[maxiep]

This makes Doc Rivers sound bad but I know I'm reading way too much into it lmao.

We're in two completely different situations. Doc is looking at getting to a Championship. Guys have narrowly defined roles on that team, and some people have to sublimate their game to help the team win. We're not really thinking about being that competitive this year, so this year it's more like figuring out who can do what and how the pieces fit together. So as an individual player, of course, he's going to enjoy the freedom the lack of competitive stress brings.

 

[maxiep]

Pretty fun to watch this.

And somewhere Paul George is watching that highlight saying to himself, "That's still a bad shot."

 

[maxiep]

Also, reading a bit more about Thybulle, his mom was a naturopath. That perspective may have made his decision matrix different when it comes to getting the COVID shots. I'm cool with his decision and respect that it appears to have been a thoughtful one.

 

[crandc]

Oh Lord. Is the new Blazer an antivaxxer?

 

[CJ_is_Gone]

Surround yourself with smarter people then

Could not agree more.
