    This is America - there ARE no "foreign-sounding" names.

    So, back to Festus: is he a lemon?

    I don't consider him a lemon because we knew what we were getting into when we signed him. When we signed him, I literally had no expectation for him, and I knew we may never see him actually play (especially after the reports about his knees came out when big men, like Mozgov, were getting paid big bucks and he was still standing on the sideline of free agency).

    They weren't foreign. Foreign sounding names would actually be:

    Washington, Jackson, Franklin, Lincoln etc.

    The joke was that Native American names sound foreign to good ol' Amurrican ears.

    be nice if the Blazers could provide a more in depth description of Festus's knee issue and what was expected after the injection and how his progress has been so far

    Ezeli is no Roy but this organization loves keeping us in the dark when it comes to injuries. Same happened with Oden. "Oden is doing much better, he will be back on the court in no time", "oh yeah, roy is fine, he is just getting some treatment and will be back". It's kinda ridiculous actually. "Festus will be fine, he is on schedule.". Then today it comes out he is way behind schedule and that they got him more for spring as opposed for winter. Not to mention the whole reason we got him at the price we got him was because of his knees but once again that was denied until spears or stein, one of those guys revealed it indeed was because of his knee issues

    I thought it was kind of a no brainer that Festus was brought in more for the playoff run then during the regular season. It's why we have so many centers on the roster. We can win a lot of the winnable games during the regular season without festus. But come playoff time we need a defensive stopper in the paint to make up for Dame and CJ.

    No sense rushing Ezeli back so he can get hurt in January against the Magic.

    Question:

    If you were running the team would you talk about injuries or keep them on the hush?

    I'd keep them on the hush.
