A few things I found interesting: Said everyone in the Blazers locker room respects Nate, but also adds that there are a few who don't like Nate... Wonder who that could be. I can understand some players not liking his decisions, but not liking Nate actually surprises me. Quick is worried about Batum. I guess he was limping pretty badly after the game without a shoe on. Thinks he'll probably be fine for friday since they have a few days off, but he's worried about the road trip when we have back-to-backs. - I hope it's not going to be a lingering thing, maybe they should give him a few games off? Websters next doctors appointment is April 9th, after the trip, which is where they'll determine if he can start practicing. If he gets the okay, it'll take him 2 weeks to get back into shape, and possibly a game. Puts him at about the end of the 1st round, maybe beginning of 2nd if we get there.
He would probably only be used if somebody got injured, and couldn't go. It's not like we haven't seen Batum and Rudy hobbled recently, with Rudy sitting out as recently as last game.
