    Plainly put, Nico is our mismatch. Without him, we're fucked.

    Not the way Webster has been playing.

    +1 unfortunately. Rudy's play has been beyond a nightmare

    When's the last time an MRI turned out negative lately for the Blazers?

    Re: What's the word on Batum?

    Tonight after the game he wasn't holding it different or walking leaned over like Blake was when he hurt his bad last season. Don't know if that means anything, but usually when a guy hurts the shoulder bad, he holds himself a little different.

    Re: What's the word on Batum?

    To be fair, it didn't appear that anyone on the Blazers bench paid Batum any mind, either. It looked like he was totally ignored by coaches, trainers, and teammates going into the timeout...

    Webster/Cunningham can hold down the fort if he's out.

    How did he injure it this time? I didn't see the play, was too busy watching Spartacus to watch the Failblazers last night :(

    If he's out, we better see more of Cunningham and not more Rudy.

    Re: What's the word on Batum?

    Yeah but this isn't a good sign . . .

    "After the game, Batum could not lift his right arm above his head or move it very far backward in the visiting locker room"

    Re: What's the word on Batum?

    I almost don't want to answer, just for the "Failblazers" reference... (Maybe you meant "Frailblazers"?) ;)

    It was an aggressive, but ill-advised play for a ball. I forget whether it was a bad pass or a loose ball, but both Nic and Nash ended up charging for possession, with Nash clearly having a step on Batum. Nic reached out his arm for it anyway, and basically got Nash full speed into the upper arm and shoulder.

    :dunno: Figures... it's in our cards this year.

    No, last night I wasn't watching the Frail blazers, they were indeed fail. The stark contrast in play between game 1 and game 2 was incredible.

    blazerbanter #Blazers' Batum has right shoulder strain, MRI confirms. Questionable for Game 3 against #Suns. Game-time decision.
