Hood tears achilles (2 Viewers)

124,500 miles and going strong.

$106 oil changes? Meh. Money pit? No no.....it only needs new ABS wheel speed sensors, the parking brake fixed, a new antennae, and new sway bars. And possibly a rear wheel bearing.

Almost $1,000 spent on it in the past two months? Fake news I tell you!

Totally reliable. You're just jealous that you can't sit surrounded by luxurious, cushy, awesome-smelling leather.


















I'll sell it to you for $4,000.

I thought of you when I posted that but had to anyway. Sell that thing ASAP.
It looks nice. The front end color looks off a tad but pics can trick me.

That does look like a nicer neighborhood than the ghetto I remember seeing in the last Caddy photo I saw here.

Yes, I know, lol. I figured "Moron" followed by "Northstar Cadillac" was aimed at me.

The front end paint is fine; it's just a trick of the light.

Not sure you would classify this place as a "ghetto", but it's certainly not high end. Built in 1985 with low-income folks, but certainly not MLK Blvd or Rosa Parks Avenue-levels of poverty. I've been to and lived in far worse places than this.

In as far as the car, I've been looking at other ones $8,000 and less. Wouldn't mind a used Toyota 4Runner SR5 4x4.

Sorry for the thread hijack, btw.

U wrong dummy. Don't recall anyone else bragging about his kid's white caddy being the nicest in town?

Neighborhood looks nice. Built in 85 doesn't mean crappy.

I want a 4runner so bad. Cheap base model new ones are mid to high 30s I think.

I'm looking at one right now, a 2003 4.7 liter V8 with 222,000 miles on it for $6,900. I might make a move....

What I would REALLY like to have is a 1995-2002 Ford F350 LB with a 7.3 liter Powerstroke diesel. But those are WAAAYYY outside my price range. God those things hold their value VERY well.

The govt is cracking down on the rolling coal dou/$bags. Expect any good diesel to hold value. I rode in one of those with a Banks upgrade of some sort years ago and it pulled like a train.

Meyers was always great at protecting his eyes....he closes them before contact

Thank you!

As he squinted his eyes shut, he often quickly turned his back to protect his groin, and bent his waist into a crouching position.

5 years ago I would say this, and posters thought I was making it up. Why would they think that! I never lie! (It was true. He did it all, a couple of times every game. I guess no one else here watched him closely enough.)

So I came up with the contact lens theory to explain the red-eye crying look. Nobody believed me again! My pearls of wisdom are ignored.

 

[jlprk]

Here's the good news:

Hood was the least important starter. He was 4th in the league in 3-point % like Curry last season...and contributed about the same, i.e. nothing in clutch minutes determining the win. He wasn't a volume shooter making us win or lose. And he wasn't a clutch Microwave shooter, either off the dribble or catch and shoot.

Losing one of the other 4 starters would affect the team a lot more.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I don't want to put words into @Propagandist's mouth, but I think what he's trying to say is that when someone has Achilles pain it should be a red flag for something potentially serious going on and should be treated as such. Even if Hood said he felt 100% normal the next day they still should've done more tests to determine why it was hurting in the first place. Now, I wasn't there so I'm not sure what exactly they did. Maybe they did a bunch of tests that we're not aware of but it seems like from what everyone is saying is that Hood said he was fine and they didn't really test it further (again I could be wrong on this).

And I think the fans deserve to know what was done or not done. Olshey owes that to us. We need some transparency.

I have the 2000 F350 with that 7.3 powerstroke. Bought it new. I use it for pulling our small 5th wheel and exploring the back country of Eastern Oregon, mostly. Only has 65,000 miles. I replaced the standard fuel tank with a large one....77 gallons. I wanted to have range and not worry about fueling up while towing. I also replaced the standard bed with a service bed to add lots of storage boxes. I haven't had a single issue with it except replacing the batteries. Now, C-Type 16 ply tires are expensive; last summer I bought a new set of Toyo's and it was $1400. But you really need dependable tires for those gravel and 4X4 roads

it doesn't get the 'supposed' mileage of the 6.2 powerstroke. When towing the 5th wheel up & over the pass and beyond, I get about 11-12 mpg. Unloaded, about 14-17 depending on where and how I'm driving.

I'm planning on having that truck till I keel over. Love it

 

[CupWizier]

Lol. Cup is that you?!?

lol, no. It must be tunchi as that's who hoopsjock and bonesy seem to think any new member is in this forum.

This post is so fucking stupid coming from someone who starts multiple accounts.

sorry kid, but you are guilty of calling several posters tunchi. That's a fact. Are you denying it?

 

[Lanny]

As long as we're missing players due to injury, we may as well miss more players.

Can we tank now? (although we appear to be doing a decent job of it already).

No, only perpetual losers tank. Competitors never tank.

 

[Lanny]

Blazers don't have their Starting C, PF, or SF now... Please, please, please lets not continue that trend...

At least we have a good PF to take the place of Collins.

 

[Lanny]

I've loved what Hood brought to this team. Between Him and Nurkic my two favorite "non-Dame's" are out, this year is such a bummer....

Whoops, are you saying that you are not including CJ in that list?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Whoops, are you saying that you are not including CJ in that list?

I find myself fairly apathetic (in fan terms) towards CJ. I think he's good, but not great. His good games are really fun, his bad games are frustrating. I don't hate him, and I'll always cheer for Blazers but I would not say he's one of my favorites on the team. I definitely appreciate the work he puts in and his affinity for portland.

 

[beast blazer]

This season is stupid.

 

[Hobbesarable]

There is always room for our team to grow. Use this season as a learning experience and keep on fighting.

 

[TBpup]

Sometimes you retreat to get a better advantage.

I'm super jealous lol. There's a reason why the 7.3 Powerstrokes hold their value so well. Only 69K miles.....damn!

I saw a video on YouTube of a guy, Weston, who bought his 1995 F350 from Auction with 149K miles on it....for $1,000. No joke.



I need to start going to more State auctions.

At the very least with both the Durant and Hood situations it should lead into more research about possible correlations between having a sore achilles and it tearing easier. To not question that correlation or the team's decision to let him play would be a huge mistake.

Blazers did the same with Wesley Matthews. I can't believe they did it again, especially during a hopeless season.

Call 911. This thread has been car jacked!!

So it was indeed ruptured??? Man

I can't remember...was Matthews having any pain or issues with his Achilles before the injury?

Yes he was

Was it the same training staff? If so that's really bad...
