GP2 underwent an off season procedure

[Tince]

I think those reports were very very VERY generous with their prognostications.

Could be... But back to my original point: I don't think Dame and GPII were under the same degree of urgency to return. Dame was under negative urgency to return. So comparing the two doesn't really make much sense.

What type of grand conclusions are we going to draw from the 15 minutes Payton plays tonight?

I've seen enough: We're winning the championship this year!

I don’t like hearing that at all. Dame said he felt 100%. What happened with this surgery?

Dame had more time than Payton to heal. But, yeah it sounds like there is still discomfort. He looked good on the court though. Hopefully, there isn't too much to be concerned about there.

I don’t like the way he’s limping around out there. Hopefully it’s not a lingering thing

he tweeked an ankle (or something) early on during the game. That he played through it is probably because he didn't want to check out a few minutes into his long awaited debut & it wasn't serious.

He's gonna get at max 20-25 mins on occasion. And spot minutes to close. He's not a primary weapon like Dame was. As long as he won't make it worse and it's just soreness, I think it's fine to roll him out at less than 100%

We got some hope at least.

I'll wait until we play a quality team to judge. Glad he's arrived finally though.

 

[Cugel]

I won't make any conclusions until Feb. 1st but I am glad he's in there.

Yeah I didn't read or click on anything this dude said. Thug it out? Is he just saying he still hurts and will have to play though it?

 

[STOMP]

That he's going to have to "thug it out from here" is his quote relayed by Tince a few posts back. Yes it reads like he still has issues with his core.

This is the only correct answer.

Ah, we had some fun though, didn't we?

He's not playing through it tonight!

Well, that kinda sucks, but he did appear to roll it pretty bad. Hopefully it's just this game.

Can we get our* money back yet?

The dude has been hurt almost his whole career... I don't see why Portland thought he was going to be anything else as he turned 30.

*Fortunately it's not my money, personally.

Are you sure? Have you checked your bank account?

There’s a “core” here on S2 that I have issues with as well.

You can only thug it out so much.

Uh, oh. 2023 is off to a bad start.
