    Re: Rudy to go under 'procedure' for leg injury

    Out for the year? For a procedure to relive pressure on a nerve? Somehow I think that's unlikey.

    Sounds like a minimum of 2 months, with 3 being the norm for this procedure. At least that's what The Game is reporting.

    Oden, Rudy, Outlaw, Batum...

    All in suits for majority/entire season. This is the season from hell.

    Feels a lot like the dark days of the JailBlazer era.

    At least Oden, Rudy, Outlaw, and Batum aren't Derek Anderson, sitting out with dental pain. :devilwink:

    Well last season we stayed remarkably healthy. Webster went down. Oden missed 21 games (as most big men do - Shaq has averaged about 60-65 games played in his career). Other than that, nothing major. Brandon missed 4 games with a tweaked hammy, Blake 13 games with that separated shoulder, but that's small potatoes by NBA standards. Check out the games played by our regular rotation guys.

    Brandon 78
    Aldridge 81
    Batum 79
    Blake 69
    Oden 61
    Rudy 78
    Travis 81
    Joel 82
    Sergio 80
    Martell 1

    That is pretty good if you ask me. But this year has obviously been much different.

    I don't think it quite equals the JailBlazer days.. we were bad because we were just plain bad. If we were healthy now, I don't think we'd be having these problems.

    It feels more like 1978 to me.

    Yes, but he probably didn't want to do it as our starting center.

    It would be nice but this just isn't going to happen with the current coaching staff. You can look forward to seeing Bayless maybe 15 to 18 minutes a night but more then that is a pipe dream.

    And it really doesn't matter one bit how he plays.

    Man it's getting hard to stay optimistic.

    I don't know how we are going to ever have offensive balance if we A) have no healthy 3 point shooters and B) have no post presence C) Don't get fast break points

    Where are we going to score points from? Brandon and Lamarcus can only do so much.

    It feels the same in the sense that it's hopeless.

    Half of the team is hurt. Because they are hurt we probably can't make a deal that would matter. Sometimes you just have to realize when you are schnitzeled and wait for better times.
