Mouthguard madness!

[Shooter]

It's very trendy these days to play with your mouth guard during a break in the action, but here's Matthews doing it while driving to the hoop!

At least he's not sticking his tongue out like Jordan used to do.

If I was the coach I'd just say "Let's not do that, keep it in your mouth" and have that be the end of it. I mean, right? Is this an attribute of a good coach?

Exactly. One of these days Matthews is going to get hit in the mouth and lose a couple of teeth because he was goofing off with his mouthguard. Stop the madness!!!

I don't care if he shoves it up his nose. He can do whatever he likes as long as he keeps playing this way...

All this playing with the mouth guard and then touching the ball is a good way to spread germs. Someone is going to catch a cold!

It is extremely gross - chewing with your mouth open is gross. Keep it in your mouth for crying out loud! All that saliva on the basketball makes me cringe. Reason #34 court side seats are over rated: mouth guards, the germs they spread and nausea they induce.

I find it gross how football QB's (mostly) area always putting their mouth guards in their face masks.

but it's a smart thing to have while playing sports, but I never could get used to it being in my mouth (HA! that's what she said) when I played. Made it harder to breath.

Was there a new rule requiring the mouthguards at all times implemented in recent times? It seems like all of these players have one, and can't stand them because they are always playing with them or they spend most of their time hanging out of their mouths. I don't see guys chewing gum anymore so I'm guessing the guards are required now?

I don't think most players use them.

Pierce was chewing gum at the Blazer game in Brooklyn the other night.

Go Blazers

Remember when players and coaches could smoke on the court!!

Repped! I don't care if he shoves it up Lillard's nose, if he keeps playing like an All-Star!

You should change your avatar!

My fiance HATES it. Every time she watches a Blazer game with me she complains how gross it is, lol.

I don't get it. What should I change it to? Someone that isn't me?

Maybe something in bondage?

LOL! Sinner.

Ah ok. I'd prolly lean more towards "clean freak" than "germaphobe." I'm not scurd! I will smack a germ straight in his mouth and NOT even apologize.

And why should you? A germ never apologizes to us!

Germs have no feelings of remorse or regret. All they care about is reproducing.

Kinda like me

If germs are a major concern, probably being in an arena with 20,000 screaming fans probably holds more risk than saliva on a mouthguard, it's the stuff you can't see that's scary!

So many ways to go with this....
