    Batum probably sits this one out. More minutes to Wright, CJ. Should sit until he's fully healed IMO, there's still a long season ahead.

    We saw the first ever lineup with Dame and CJ at the same time last night.

    Unfortunately, CJ was playing SF and Mo at PG. ugh.

    It seems the problem is that Nico needs a new splint to play. They're trying to find one in OKC. Bad move, IMO. Houston is a major medical technology center; OKC is a backwater. The smart move would be to leave Nico behind in HOU with the trainer, find a splint in HOU and then fly him to OKC in time for the game.

    He's been playing through pain since the initial injury, not 100%, I noticed it a few times. We need him 100% for the playoffs, even if it means losing a few games right now while he sits.

    Trail Blazers PR @TrailBlazersPR
    LaMarcus Aldridge has recorded three 25-point, 20-rebound games this year. All other NBA players have combined for three such games.

    Trail Blazers PR @TrailBlazersPR
    In last 25 yrs, only Olajuwon, O’Neal, Garnett, Howard w/ more 25-pt, 20-reb games at midpoint than Aldridge (3) this year (@ESPNStatsInfo).

    Excellent. With him on defense I feel very good about our prospects for victory against the zombie sonics.

    I say just give Batum a bionic middle finger already and call it good.

    I almost wish Nic Batum would just sit this one out. If he gets more injured that would be a disaster for this season.

    Agree. It would also benefit his nut punching abilities.

    How do you injure a broken finger more? Once it's broken, isn't it just.... broken? The only thing I can think of is that it just prolongs the time frame for it to fully heal.
