he did say this when he was asked about the sixers/knicks offseason a month ago too. he humble but he wanna pop schit off too

I mean, it's twofold. Like, I see all the changes in people switching teams and obviously teams is getting better, and that's every offseason, and you got to have like an appropriate fear or respect for your opponent, right? You don't never want to disrespect who you playing, but with that being said, it's like we won. Like, when you win a championship, you get to talk how you want to talk. They gotta go through us.

Saw Koloko signed to the Lakers and was like “why didn’t the Knicks go after him he is exactly the type of player they should be taking flyers on.” Then I saw he was a Klutch client…..

It wouldn't be summer without some DSJ offseason clips to get us hype

If the 27-28 season is the expansion season year is when the "expansion lottery" will likely hurt this teams strength of depth.

Can anyone confirm that this is true about Portland's night life?

I was literally just downtown for a show tonight for the first time in ages. Soul Coughing. Great show and their drummer is phenomenal. The downtown kinda sucks though. There are some good spots for higher end drinks and food and good dives but not really great clubs... the show I was at is a really nice venue... but the walking dead thing is definitely true. There are junkies everywhere in a way you just don't see elsewhere in the country on the west coast. They kinda come over to you and razz you too though are all in all harmless. Seattle and California cities are like that too though Cali is more pocketed.

There are also a lot of really nice neighborhoods in Portland but the downtown is jarring if you're not used to seeing open opioid abuse. The last few years were particularly bad because all drugs were decriminalized with few resources being put into recovery programs. They've since rolled back those laws.

I'm all for decriminalized drugs and not punishing people for having substance abuse problems but you can't just have it like the wild wild west either. Wow I had no idea it was like that.

Yes. Portugal did it but had way more cultural/societal safeguards including universal healthcare.

It's pretty wild for sure. And I think part of what they're leaving unspoken there is that most of the people on the streets are white and younger.

I literally _never_ go downtown unless there's a show or something. Other than passing through frequently on one of my bike routes I don't think I've gone to downtown Portland to be downtown since right before the pandemic started for the Chinese New Year parade. Even before my lifestyle changed with kids I didn't much. The cool stuff about the City, which there's a TON of, is more spread out.
