    6. Returns from injury could affect the West, Part II

    In addition to Kirilenko, there are now whispers here in the Rose City that Brandon Roy's knee surgery was far cleaner than imagined and that he could be back in uniform for the start of a second-round series or even -- gasp! -- the end of the first round. This would be amazing considering the original diagnosis was that he'd be out for 4-6 weeks, which would have put his return somewhere between May 9 and May 23.

    Roy himself brought up his possible return Wednesday, just five days removed from surgery. While several hurdles remain -- he hasn't worked out yet, for instance -- it provides a major glimmer of hope for the injury-battered Blazers. If they can just win two of the three home games they have coming up, their star may be back for a seventh game next Saturday.

    I'm not getting too cranked up over this. The Blazers have always blown sunshine up our collective asses when they talk about how long an injured player would be out.

    That said, it would be great if Brandon makes it back this season.

    Go Blazers

    So when it comes to the Blazers, I guess it's kind of hard to say "Stick it where the sun doesn't shine!":NOTMARIS:
