    Greg, Rudy, Jerryd, now is your time to shine! Now is your time to take over the game, and dominate!

    Roy Doubtful

    This should be interesting. Sometimes teams play better when their star is out.


    BayRex should get some PT. I hope he bitch slaps Garnett. I might pay a 1/10 of his fine if he does. In all seriousness, if Garnett decides to get down on all 4's and bark at Bayless like last time I'd like to see Bayless knee him in the head, or better yet jump on him and mount him from behind. Stick it to the pussy Garnett really is so to speak

    the problem isnt resting him...thats no brainer lol...the problem is....how bad is he really hurt?

    we could be 19-16 next week at this time with playoff hopes beginning to fall away.

    Gotta think that Bayless will want to prove something, and he should get 20 minutes to do so at SG.

    I can't wait to see a little bit of Bayless tonight if Roy can't go. Hopefully Nate just tells him to just go all out for his 20 minutes and just do what he does best.

    Rudy, LaMarcus and hopefully Bayless will get more looks in the fourth quarter with Roy out. I think this is a little bit of serendipidy (that is, so long as there is nothing seriously wrong with Roy).

    We could be 19-16 with Roy. Sounds like he'd probably be back for the next game, so... He misses one game, time to panic!

    Other guys will have to step up, they won't be able to sit back and rely on Roy to carry them, maybe not the worst thing in the world right now. Not predicting a win by any means, but maybe this will help the mentality of the team against Boston. Takes pressure off, Boston will have to change how they play us... Stranger things have happened. On the other hand, it could get ugly, but it's only one game.

    Why was everyone so down on our chances to beat Boston IN PORTLAND? They are good but I've seen better. I think Roy will go tonight, just a hunch.

    i would have bet on us to win this at full strength because we had something to prove and would have been fired up.

    You've already said, in multiple threads, that the Blazers are missing the play-offs anyway. So, what difference does it make?

    Man . . . Oden is a "game time decision" too?

    I hadn't even heard about this. They said he hurt his ankle in Monday's practice.

    Can we just sit everybody tonight that matters?

    Start

    Center: Diogu
    PF: Frye
    SF: Batum
    SG: Bayless
    PG : Blake

    Before you reply and blast me for this . . . realize I'm only kidding. I would like to see Bayless get about 35 minutes though just to see what he can do. Probably not much against the world champs w/the best defense in the league.
