[Chris Craig]

Sad. My thoughts are with his family

You guys are being awfully kind considering he's the reason why Bill Walton left.

He's still part of the Blazers family. I'd offer my condolences to labitch's family if he died.

You know..I almost posted something to the effect of maybe now our injuries will begin to get fixed, but didn't want to go there.

Damn bro...damn!

S0unds like it was a heart attack.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Damn bro...damn!

I know, but Sly ALMOST went there first and I said I was gonna but didn't. In the back of my mind I did think, hmmm better health for our roster? But it doesn't change the fact in the least that its a tragedy for the Blazers Family.

In the end, we all separate business from personal. ON a personal this is just a sad thing all the way around. On the business end, Not sure if this hurts the Blazers at all other than having to put effort into finding a quality replacement.

Next you'll tell us he was a doctor.

(The article said it was a heart attack.)

He hasn't been associated with the team for over 20 years.

My understanding is that yes, he was indeed a physician.

Thanks for clearing that up for us.

OH!!! I thought I remember reading that we had the same staff for the last couple of decades.. Obviously that puts it at about the right time. I thought...
Okay. I didn't think.

Well then who is the one to blame for recent issues???

Bill Walton left because he was a drug-addled brain-dead hippie vegetarian pinhead who wouldn't take his doctor's advice and drink a friggin' glass of milk once in a while.
