Welcome to Portland, Donovan Clingan!

[Rastapopoulos]

Was a great read. He’s already a better NBA player than his dad ever was.

Let's see him in his thirties after two blown ACLs and judge.

I’m talking strictly what they did in the NBA

I remember I said we should draft him when he was a Zag and everyone thought I was nuts.

That’s because you also said that about the stashe

I can’t be right all the time, Beags.

I also was a huge Rui fan.

 

[Phatguysrule]

In my defense, their injuries were so bad, the teams had to move.

This is so obvious. I can't believe I didn't see it before...

Michael Doleac’s dad was a Portland dentist.

Still practices out on 108th and Halsey by the ghetto Winco.

Phil Doleac is an Orthodontist who works at Magic Smiles locations in Portland and Beaverton.

His assistants do most of the work during visits, but the Doctor might pull out the grinder to do some touch-up work.

I think you meant to say "Great?" We've already drafted one great center in the last 54 years.

Two. We also drafted Sabonis. We didn’t get him in his prime when he dominated David Robinson but he was great and we did draft him.

Totally agreed; if we’d had Sabas in 1990 we’d have been a dynasty.

Yup. I’ve always thought that the only reason that MJ got six rings instead of maybe three is that Sabas didn’t come over earlier.

When I was a teenager I thought we could have denied MJ all six rings with a Sabas-led Blazers... three feels more reasonable now haha!

that knee injury at the end of November sure seemed to take a lot of wind out of his sail. Doesn't seem like he's got back to where he was earlier in the season. Missing 6 of the last 11 games hasn't helped. Chauncey's rotations aren't doing him any favors either

How come Clingan isn't in the rising stars game at the all-star weekend?

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

How come Clingan isn't in the rising stars game at the all-star weekend?

Blazers are afraid he’ll injure himself in a nonsensical game.

 

[Mediocre Man]

How come Clingan isn't in the rising stars game at the all-star weekend?

Cause he can’t make a lay up

 

[handiman]

Cause h can’t make a lay up

Sure he can, he just can't catch the ball.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

... and only him and Wemby have done it in the last dozen years.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

In the first 55 games of the season, DC played 668 minutes, scored 229 points, collected 277 rebounds, and swatted 64 shots in 41 games played. If he played all 27 remaining games, he would have to average 8.5/10.3/2.3 over 25 mpg to surpass those totals over the final 1/3 of the season. What do y'all think are the chances he's a) given that opportunity, and b) able to generate that production?

 

[Mediocre Man]

17 minutes for the Great white hope. Can anyone justify this?

You're going to need more surgery at this rate.

we all are...

Cling Kong on the Willamette narrows

 

[Mediocre Man]

2nd team all rookie. Congrats.

Would have been first team if his coach knew the difference between his brain and a train

 

[KingSpeed]

Just announced- Clingan made All Rookie 2nd team.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Edey made 1st team over Clingan. If Clingan had better conditioning this year maybe he would have passed Edey.
