    Assuming LMA & Blake are out for Saturday's game; that leaves Roy as the lone starter from last year's 54-win team.

    Not a good sign!

    Ha! this is a "sign?" Sorry, not making fun of you or anything like that, this thread is just like the understatement of the decade (all 22 hours of it :wink:)

    so that means that there is only 1 of the top ten players from last season in play for next game.

    Basically, it means the Blazers that will set foot on the court tomorrow night, will have 3 total players who played for the team last year able to suit up.

    Bayless, Webster and Roy.

    And of those, only 1 (as you said) got decent minutes.

    Didn't we already rent this movie? Or was this just the re-done version of it, with a change in the plot?

    Creepier: EVERYONE from last season has missed at least one game this season.

    *I believe Bayless has actually been available for every game but had 7 DNP-CD's earlier in the season.

    Rolled his ankle or something missing a step in a poorly lit area coming out of the locker room on a road trip I believe.

    You're right! I forgot about that. That's crazy. So it's only Juwan and Webster who will have played every game this season if LMA and Blake miss tonight.

    Juwan has played in 26 games, and the Blazers have played 34.

    Fuck. I need to learn the game before posting. So it's only Webster? One guy?? Only 34 games into the season. That is AMAZING. Has it ever happened before in the history of the league.

    yah, what I meant to say was "learn the game, then post."

    or maybe I should've said "learn to count, then post!"

    or better yet, I could make it so my hand looks like a gun, point it at a picture of you on bones, and go "ker-pew, pew!"
