Re: Injury updates flip flop from yesterday's diagnosis...hmm hope Batum will be back saturday, the sprain didn't look too bad
Re: Injury updates Sprains are always much worse the day after. It's gotta be hella stiff right now. We need at least 1 of the 2 to play tonight if we want to have a chance. It's unlikely we'd win anyways since the Cavs are 30-1 at home this season.
Re: Injury updates It is the high ankle sprains that can really take a lot of time to heal . . . I don't think that is what Batum has.
Re: Injury updates i really dont think we will miss batum all that much... he cant score and is overated on defense
Re: Injury updates 95.5 said LaMarcus will play tonight, but Nicolas won't and Travis is in the starting lineup. That's pretty good news.
Re: Injury updates True, we are so stacked with SF's that he (and his 6 fouls) will hardly be missed.
Re: Injury updates Have you ever watched hom play? If so, do you have any vague recollection of this game?

Re: Injury updates Double Yawn. It does get a bit old refuting a poster who is clearly not a Blazer fan.
In what way would Batum be an overrated defender? Has he made any NBA all-defensive teams? Do players or media around the league consider him a great defender? He is a 20 year old being matched up with against other teams best scorers.
There's an amusing moth-drawn-to-the-candle effect going on between certain posters and MIXUM. "He's a troll and not worth arguing with.....aargh, Must. Argue. With. Him."
and most of you over rate batum.... yes he has upside but right now hes very average the fans fall in love with average players.... i mean since our gm does.... you really cant blame them
