    Just a hammy. No one ever died from a hamstring injury.*


    *Excepting the sad occasion where a cross-country runner sustained a hamstring injury and, hobbled, was devoured by a coyote.

    Camby

    That is one fucking hot starting lineup right there. No major weaknesses. Been a long time since I could say that.

    Wish Roy was 100%.

    Yeah. An article on Wages of Wins actually argued that Portland, with the Camby acquisition, has become a challenger for the Western Conference title (assuming Roy plays and is pretty much on form). They won't win 55+ games, at this point, but that they've become the caliber of a 55+ win team.

    I don't necessarily agree with the conclusions Berri comes to, but it's an interesting viewpoint from a fairly well-known basketball statistician.

    The nice thing is that Camby pretty much fits into what this team needs like a glove (stylistically, and positionally).
