    I see Blake is resting tonite against the Heat. Sad, because the Heat are actually playing well and I would like to see him go up against them.

    He's injured and just played his first game of the season last night. They're going to be cautious with him.

    I think Blake is the “best” of the guys we talk about bringing in, but he also seems like most unlikely to be able to walk on his 35th birthday...

    It’s possible the whole thing is CGI. Watch it on a big screen and look at the people.

    Yeah, that's the $100 million question. If healthy he's one of the only possible available players that could turn the tide back to being contenders this year but it's such a huge risk.

    I kinda got the impression you felt the Blazers were already contenders this season?

    Only if Zach and Nurk or healthy, with both down. I dont. Not to speak for HJ, but thats kind of how I see it.

    I have the mindset that Nurk and Collins aren't going to help anymore this year so if they come back and are fine at any point then we might still be okay but I'm looking at it like that would be a bonus.

    I also believe that they'll add some reinforcements like last year and there are also a couple young guys that if they get minutes in the mean time then they could be ready for playoff minutes.

    Get all of those things to happen and sure we can still be a very tough out in the playoffs. I'm doubting two things though now that I wasn't before the season. The first is that we still don't have an answer for when teams trap Dame. A healthy Griffin would solve that problem. The second is that it's going to be a fight just to make the playoffs at this point. It's hard to be contenders if they don't even make it. I still think they'll fight and get in but Dame and CJ are going to die making that happen.

    Was just about to post this.

    Really sucks for that dude. Feel like he could have a really good career if he could just stay healthy.
