    Put Freethrow Guy at PG, and he's automatically the best defender at that position on the roster.

    What are the odds that guy has a girlfriend? 1/100? He's worse than guys who paint their faces, which I've never understood.

    The curse lives.

    This will also throw a wrench in Cho's everlasting over analysis of this team.

    I love this team and most of the players. And I love that they're fighting so hard every night. But if Nic will require surgery and have to sit out for an extended time, I'm probably going to take a temporary hiatus from the Blazers. I'm getting very little pleasure watching these guys take blow after blow with no end in sight.

    Hopefully just a strain. Nic is built like rubber band. If he blows out a knee, all hope is lost for this franchise.

    And now (potentially) Batum has some sort of knee injury.

    That's four starters right there. As a fan it's draining. Something like this always happens.

    I looked from all our camera angles seeing if he landed wrong on his ankle or tweaked his knee. It was the play when Pierce drove by him. They didn't bump knees. Like I said he said he felt a "stretching" feeling, not a pop. It was tough just seeing him leave on crutches. I am so numb to all of this now!

    At this point, I'd take the Jail Blazers over the Frail Blazers. At least then, I didn't have to invest in the actual players, because I knew they really didn't give a crap about the fans.

    If I was employed by the blazers like you, I would wear a heavy knee brace to work every day.

    About as far as I go is a jersey and hat... that's it. I made signs when I was a little kid, but I haven't done that in decades. I just want to tell the guy to sit down. He's making us look bad.

    It's like 3rd degree burns - the pain has stopped because the nerve endings are seared away. If I thought God actually cared about sports, I would be roaming the streets, burning churches.

    Could you imagine if he's out for the year (**knock on wood**) I'd bet money that Cho's only action is signing a D-League fringe player.

    I love this idle front office.

    It's easy to bash Cho, but really, he doesn't have much options at this point. The most tradable assets, Miller and Pryzbilla, are they only players holding down their positions at this point. Would you like to see 48 minutes of Sean Marks? What about 48 minutes of Patty Mills?
