Around the NBA (And Oregon High Schools) - January 2018

We should come up with a way to get Damian voted onto the team, like some secret method to get re-tweets...like, tweeting some famous person who people will re-tweet.

Shame we can't get Mags to post some #Maga #NBAVote and Damian (or however you vote) and get like 200K retweets.

If everyone in the Moda tweeted 100 times tonight, he'd win the fan vote. Zara won fan vote last year. Just takes some organization among the fans.

or somebody famous like you that can lobby for him

I tried two years ago. Reached out to my twitter followers and people here but most people's attitude here was "Can't Win, Don't Try." Took the wind out of my sails.

Bystander effect, too.

But I don't vote for the fan vote. I don't like it in the first place, not going to participate it. Plus I don't care if Dame makes all stars, he already is one in his merits.

You can only vote once for a player each day

Somebody tweet Lil' Wayne. I'm serious. I'm not on Twitter.

@SlyPokerDog?

I wonder if last year's free agency class just overall sucked; maybe we freed up all our money in the wrong year. I know Boston got Horford, but Atlanta got Howard and got rid of him within a year. We targeted Whiteside and now I read he is not playing fourth quarters. Made me wonder if he is just a rich man's Joel Przbilla so I looked at some stats. Pryzz had three years of plus three blocks per 36. Whiteside last year and this: 2.3 and 2.0. Their field goal percentages are similar and Przbilla free throw % in his later years were as good as Whiteside's. Whiteside definitely the better rebounder with 14, 15 and 16 in his last three years while Przbilla only had 3 years of plus 12 (all per 36). But overall not that much difference. And they signed him at 24.6 million a year.

I was never in favor of signing Whiteside. So

Bystander effect, too.

But I don't vote for the fan vote. I don't like it in the first place, not going to participate it. Plus I don't care if Dame makes all stars, he already is one in his merits.

He's going to get what, 6-8 days off to rest and heal if he doesn't make it? Sounds good to me.

I can do that. I'll try.

 

[kjironman1]

Get on Twitter and retweet this

 

[stampedehero]

That block Mariota threw was savage!

Actually Revis played volley ball and gave him the net pass. He should have tried too CATCH it!

I always question this statement. Most all Players go to the All-Star weekend anyway. Playing a pickup game is about the same intensity as the All-Star game if not more. They never really seem to have a tough time recovering from the All-Star break other than the party they all attend at the end.

I think most 5-on-5 practices are more intense than the All Star game. At least in practice guys are trying to impress the coaches and earn more minutes. The All Star game has become a 48-minute lay up drill.

Good point.

I think I know who owns the number one sport.

 

[handiman]

Is that LeBron's "we stink!" expression, or was he trying to reclaim the move that Harden stole?

 

[ripcityboy]

Going for the steal....

Close lined his ass. Lucky for Wiggins, that IT is built like a 3rd grader.

How tall are you, like 5’6"? IT can bench Like 300+.

With Denver losing, Portland reclaims sole possession of 6th in the West.... for now.

Thunder a half game up on us, and they're next on our docket.

 

[Strenuus]

Lance stephenson is really sad about the poor effort at the imitation of him.

Oliver Miller was built like a 3rd grader and he'd have flattened the guy.

But that third grader was HCP

See. This why Olshey standing pat at the trade deadline makes no sense to me. We are over the cap but in a conference is severely underperforming. If we can make a couple of moves to get better, why not? If they trade away valuable players, it's basically Allen saying "clean up the bottom line." I really think this might be the defining trade window of Olshey's career. If we stagnate farther, Dame will probably get pissed.

The only reason to make a trade would be to shed salary and those will not make us better. If we made a trade and took on salary we might get better, but we wouldn't be good enough to get past the 2nd round. I don't see Olshey doing anything because of those reasons.

Well. That just goes to show how really far up shit creek he's put us.

I can't disagree with that.

Way over thinking. I'm waiting for the hammer to fall kind of talk. Looking over my shoulder for what is following me and scared of the dark.....
