[HailBlazers]

Went to a party at Brian Grant's house in West Linn a decade ago, that was fun. Ran into Dame in the Club once but no words came to mind lol.

I see it was confirmed Chris Paul had covid. I've always been a fan of his, but not getting vaccinated is not being a good teammate.

He apparently was one of the few who tested positive after vaccination.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Maybe this is a money thing? Wasn't he lured there with unusually high pay for an assistant?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Right - I'm surprised you (@UKRAINEFAN) missed this, because everyone was going on about it.

Oh, OK. Sorry, Chris, for the slur.

If you can’t help him, trade him as he deserves a ring like Clyde

 

[Blazinaway]

really hard for me to see him "winning big" here, love Dame, lets trade him for a great return where he has a much better chance to win a title

 

[AldoTrapani]

Exactly. He deserves better than our trash franchise. You got guys like Booker and Trey Young all ready being provided the best from their franchise and Dame still barley getting out the 1st round 10 years in

 

[THE HCP]

You live in north PDX. You have to get out to the burbs once in awhile.

Bite your cracker-ass tongue. NE Portland!

Hey, play your cards right and eventually you’ll be able to step up to NP……..

Coward.

Cracker-ass? That sounds bad. I'll admit that my ass has a crack (doesn't everyone's), but "cracker"? I'll have to ask Mrs. HCP to translate next time I see her.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

That game was to be expected from the Suns.
Trae was noticeably hampered by a broken nose. I understand this very well. A fresh broken nose hurts every time you move. It will get better but a bad game is understandable at this point.
Chris Paul was out 11 days. Obviously he was rusty. He will have a better game in game 4.

Clippers held home court which they had to do or this series was over.

Trae plays for the Suns now?

 

[LayneStaley]

Why would we trade Dame? Why do we owe him to trade him in his prime to a contender? Aren’t we pay him a quarter billion dollars?

I think all the debts are settled.

Not yet.

Coach a round robin of youth sports (of either gender) for several years in either Lake Oswego, West Linn or Wilsonville and the odds of you coaching a former Blazer’s kids are surprisingly high……..

 

[MickZagger]

Coolest person I ever ran into (and I don’t give a shit about stars or celebrity’s, we all shit the same way) was Teddy Atlas, Mike Tyson’s old trainer. We were both waiting for a flight. I was sitting next to him. No one realized it was him. I had just watched a Mike Tyson documentary so I recognized him immediately. Very nice guy. Small in stature but you can tell he can whoop some ass.

wait why are we talking about running into famous people?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Trae plays for the Suns now?

Man i sure messed that up. Wow?

The 76ers would cut the Lakers out quick. Lakers don't have the assets to get dame.

Also, the next pick the Lakers can trade is 2026.

Why are the Lakers getting Dame and Philly is giving up pretty much everything but harrel and the 1st.

I know Laker fans are dumb and don't understand basic things, but damn.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Figgedy fuck the Lakers.

 

[DDolla]

You know what Dame can improve next season, floaters. Just watch Trae all playoffs with that floater, it’s kind a unstoppable. I would say as well lob passes but Nurk can’t dunk like Collins and Capella

Nurk is terrible

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Funny thing is, the only time I see players/ex players is at the airport, or other city's airports.

Weird. The only place I see players is at your house....

 

[Fairly-Hard]

When he is at the airports?

 

[PCmor7]

Yeesh, the Suns losing all their poise after building a big lead and seem determined to put forth a massive choke job.
