George W Bush went to Yale, was dumber than a bucket of warm beer.

If Rodgers was so smart, I doubt he would've started off at a community college. Let's not act like he went to Cal because of his brains.

1) As far as I know, Rodgers didn't come from a wealthy family with massive political influence, so that's a pretty lame comparison.

2) Nice try. Now you're joining Kareem in the athlete-stereotyping, showing a total lack of understanding of the community college path for many.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Rodgers

"Despite his impressive high school record, Rodgers attracted little interest from Division I programs. In a 2011 interview with E:60, he attributed the relative lack of attention in the recruiting process to his unimposing physical stature as a high school player at 5'10" (1.78 m) and 165 lb (75 kg). Rodgers had wanted to attend Florida State and play under head coach Bobby Bowden, but was rejected.[29] He was only offered an opportunity to compete for a scholarship as a walk-on from University of Illinois.[30] He declined the invitation, and considered quitting football to play baseball instead or giving up entirely on the idea of playing in professional sports and attending law school after completing his undergraduate degree.[31]

He was then recruited to play football at Butte Community College in Oroville, a junior college about 15 miles (25 km) southeast of Chico."

Dude, he thought Joe Rogan was a good source of information for anything.

Going to Law School doesn't make you smart. Nothing you quoted from wikipedia really proves your point.

It explains why he went to community college instead of straight to Cal, which disproves your point, which in turn supports my point. Keep trying to dig yourself out of that hole, though.

this is an odd hill for you to die on.
 
Looking for a WAS, HOU, MIA, POR, DAL win
And KD to score under 28.5

Us beating the suns feels the most iffy even though KD has 5 half way through the first. I feel like BKNs other players will handle the load and KD will play under 30 mins.

How much money will that net you?
 
KD 18 at the half probably going for 30+ unless harden and griffin go big in the second half.
 
Please sit KD for the 4th; you don’t need him up 19 - am I right!?!?!?!
 
RR7 said:
OOf, a layup at the end of the 3rd to put him at 30, and now he likely does sit. Sorry.

WAS to the wire Vs CLE too

Would be nice to not have it be that layup

How the fuck are the old ass Lakers with Lebron missing so many games better than us? What a disaster of a season

It's not a season, it's the beginning of a season. Man you are the most reactive person I've seen. There's a new coach and system and Dame is in a slump. The good news is, it looks like we're probably going to get a new GM and that probably means a roster that makes more sense. Maybe it will also mean that your takes start to make more sense but I won't hold my breath.

Edit: Oh and the Lakers have an obviously better roster than us, that's why they have a better record than us.
 
What a weird end to this laker game

Strange 5 second call by LA

Bad shot by Herro

Missed FTs galore

Better? Their old as fuck.

They are old but they still have AD and Russ playing in this game... they've got Melo who played a ton of minutes for us last season. They also have bigs in Jordan and Howard who know how to play a certain role. They have a few shooters to space the floor.

They have a balanced roster full of players who were contributing last season, so it should be no surprise that they're contributing to wins this season... and let's not act like they're winning every game they play or anything.
 
I guess I stand corrected. 2 months effectiveness for a vaccine is good before being told you have to take the booster. I've been convinced. Thank you all for the excellent medical wisdom. Is doesn't quite match up with all the Docs I submitted the same question to, but I've convinced them to to read this forum to get better educated. :D

"all the docs"

lol
 


The sooner we rebuild the sooner we can find young superstars again. I hope the next GM we get is special

What is humorous about that? "all the docs I submitted that question to". In my work, I deal with quite a number of various different types of Dr's in the Portland area on a regular basis. If there is an issue with what they have said or explained, then again, I'm an enlightened by this forum much more so than their puny medical experience.

I don't have "All the Doc's" but I have one that I do trust.
He says get vaccinated. I trust him and I did. It was pretty simple for me.

If you have a doctor I suggest you ask him. If you don't trust his opinion on the issue then I would suggest you get a doctor you do trust.
Again this is pretty simple.
