    To be fair I did edit that post but for some reason it's showing that I didn't. MM did not call me stupid.

    Why did you edit it? I didn't personally attack anyone? In fact your edit makes it seem like I did, when I didn't

    Can you name a preseason when there hasn't been an injury? If this was the first time ever there was an injury during preseason, then yes, starting the thread could be considered to be a jinx. However, going from past experience where it is to be expected that there will be some injuries - generally minor in nature, starting the thread makes sense in order to keep track of the various injuries rather than to start threads for each individual owie.

    Gramps...

    It sure seems like there have been a lot of injuries this time around.

    Mo's ankle.

    CJ's foot.

    Aldridge's quad.

    Dorrell's finger.

    Earl's.... whatever he hurt.

    I'm wondering if the guys are just going really hard this time around, or if we're just really unlucky. I don't remember this many injuries in training camp before though.

    Chris Haynes ‏@ChrisBHaynes 33m
    #Blazers G Damian Lillard says 1st unit of him, Wes Matthews, Nic Batum, LaMarcus Aldridge & Robin Lopez worked together during shootaround.

    Chris Haynes ‏@ChrisBHaynes 32m
    However, Damian Lillard says he's not sure if LaMarcus Aldridge (quad) will suit up tonight vs Clippers.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Aldridge, Williams, and Wright all sat.

    Barton collided with Batum in air and Batum crashed hard into the basketball stanchion. He left practice and is undergoing examination.

    Joe Freeman @BlazerFreeman
    The #Blazers did not have much info to offer about Batum's setback ... not even so much as what potential injury he might have suffered.

    It might be time to tone down the practices.

    Time to cut Barton from the roster.

    First Cj broke his foot, then Batum gets hurt. I'd be really cautious around Barton if I were Wessy.

    CJ's foot was broken in a collision with Wes, not Barton.

    You posted it on twitter. Then you deleted it within the hour. It's okay, it's not like the Blazer execs read your clever insights you share with us!
