More Shaedon and Jabari please.

 

[Driew]

More Shaedon and Jabari please.

I'm preparing myself for disappointment and hearing that they're sitting Shaedon out for the rest of the games

There goes our SL championship. Season over.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Why is Sharpe listed?

Could happen. Blame @SlyPokerDog

Why is Sharpe listed?

I was just checking this and wondering the same.
@Chris Craig do you have inside intel that his shoulder is fine and will be playing/starting tomorrow? I have plans hinging on this so I need a firm answer. Don't let me down!

 

[blazerkor]

It's very obvious that this is a make or break game for Shaedon, if he doesn't play he's either never going to want to play or have an injury riddled and short career. If he does play, how he plays will tell us absolutely everything we need to know about him as an athlete, as a competitor and as a person. I encourage all of you that you can't possibly make too much out of how important this game is when making final determinations about how this player's career will go and the kind of man he will be.

Let's all hope for the best, judge him in the harshest of lights and may god have mery on his soul.

The fuck?

No wonder free agents never want to come to Portland. A bunch of overly concerned soccer moms.

That seriously needed green font?

Apparently yes. Have you read the other game thread? Haha. This is going light compared to some of these people. Glad I got you wrong.

It has not been confirmed he is out for tomorrows game. He appeared to be fine sitting on the bench most of the night and pouting. At halftime he told the coach he was ok. SL coach Steve Hetzel said he appeared to be fine, but they were sitting him out of an abundance of caution. They are doing an MRI to make sure nothing is wrong. When it comes out clean and he remains fine, he could still play tomorrow. I have him listed in injuries as questionable at this point. If it turns out he is confirmed not to play, I will change the lineup.

embarrassing behavior lmao

I can't believe you would even type the b-word that rhymed with "make". You've jinxed the player, the season, the franchise, and the city.

We're all doomed.

 

[illmatic99]

sitting on pins and needles waiting for shaedon news.

Keon. Not Keldon.

I'm guessing auto correct strikes again.

 

[BBert]

This is somewhat encouraging???

I'm encouraged that people can stop debating whether there is an MRI machine in the State of Nevada

 

[TBpup]

That did strike me as hilariously odd.

I'm just picturing Sharpe and some assistant sitting in some random Las Vegas medical center waiting room twiddling his fingers haha.

pouting ?

 

[Tince]

Fentress on Rip City Radio saying he's under the impression Sharpe's injury does not appear to be serious.

That dude is always wrong.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

If Sharpe doesn’t play tomorrow I’m giving up all hope and having a meltdown on here and O-Live

 

[Chris Craig]

pouting ?

He wanted to come back. Hetzel wouldn't let him. He wasn't happy about it.

 

[Mr. Robot]

i dont care that sharpe is a quite guy, but i want him to be aggressive on the court, show the world why you were 7th pick

hopefully he plays in this game and i want to see him take at least 15 shots with a little bit of everything we saw at the workouts (threes, mid range, floaters, lob threat, dunking, attacking the rim)
