Wes said they missed Aldridge. If you think we should beat every team without Aldridge, then are you in favor of trading Aldridge for a 2nd round pick? You know, being that he doesn't matter? Look how crappy the Thunder record is compared to recent years. It's because they're big guns have missed games. And last year, Grizz got off to a bad start because Gasol was out.

All I hear is excuses and deflection and hyperbole. You know full well I'm not a moron, so don't treat me like one.

Kersey was a 2nd round draft pick.

RIP
 
Yeah I hate to say it but D.Roses career is over. Gotta be real tough for Bulls fans, that's almost Oden esque what could have been status.
 
Not a lot on the market but if I were Chicago I'd make a push for Brandon Knight this summer.
 
Team USA didn''t help Rose. I hate to see a guy of his talent go through a BRoy deterioration but it's not looking good for his career.
 
Yeah, if he repairs the tear, I think its 6 months minimum, if they just cut it out, I think its a couple of weeks.
 
He was looking like he could play at all-star level at will.

I wonder if the Mavs had traded for Andre Miller instead of Rondo if they'd be a better team.
Personally? I believe they would have been. Neither is a great shooter..
But Rondo wants to prove he wasn't just a product of playing with 3 all time great players... So he wants to do things and win his way.
Miller has always wanted to win.
 
Remember how everyone was all, "we were one lotto digit away from getting the #1 pick two years in a row"?

I wonder how much of this form would have survived if we had drafted Roy, Oden, and Rose in consecutive years...

Id have paid someone to remove whatever part of my brain has any knowledge of basketball and the Blazers in it.

I still don't get it. So it's anxiety?

Dude. Anxiety can manifest in many different ways and exhibit different forms. It fucking sucks, let me tell you.

I cant imagine even living a life like that, constant travel, commitments, stress, pressure... and have anxiety. That's brutal. Your body just eventually goes crazy and it can take a long time to get back to 'normal'.
 
I suppose Sanders could always come back if he wanted to. He's young and healthy physically.

Bro, I used to have such anxiety attacks that I thought I was having a heart attack. The overwhelming feeling that comes can completely ruin your life. I had to learn techniques on how to calm myself down.

I hope Sanders overcomes it. Poor kid

Yep!!! It took me years to develop coping skills. I was hospitalized 3 times.

I hear ya. Panic Attacks/Anxiety attacks are the absolute worst. ANd to get them in public... oh god. It completely changes how you live right after you first get it. I got the panic attacks for years, but the anxiety attacks was a new one.

I'm just now getting over one that happened 2 months ago. It's crazy. Glad we got the coping skills. :cheers:

Gotcha, I can understand why that would be debilitating.
 
KG in Minny looks so natural. Sucks for him that WAS is missing his good friend Paul Pierce.

He can teach our bigs a thing or two about setting (illegal) picks.
