And he just broke his hand. Out at least 5 weeks, maybe more. Shooter has a way to jinx people he says we should have. Mind talking up San Antonio too?
Yeah that's a break that doesn't heal too well. I'm still waiting for Shooter to talk up San Antonio and maybe the Warriors.
The Thunders injury issues just show how lucky Portland is right now (after having many injury issues in years past). If Portland had to be without LaMarcus and Damian for long stretches, this team would be very very bad. Hopefully that is something Portland doesn't have to deal with much this season.
Player has to be out for the year for them to apply for the disabled player credit. Even with that credit you can't go above the 15 spot roster.
I think it shows, however, that everyone saying that it wasn't RW throwing a tantrum, it was a fan throwing something, was a big fat liar.
so they're hosed for at least 3 games, but then they can add someone until one of their "normal 15" comes back.
The previous court was cursed with the insufferable tears and sadness of injuries to Roy, Oden, etc. They soaked into the hardwood, cursed the wood and its players. So when the old wood was uprooted and the new court layed, the curse was finally lifted, it swirled in the air and found a target. The I5 rivalry of old, and the purple and piss from down south. LA and Sea/OKC you are now laden with the injury demon, may your teams rest in peace. lol.
I5 goes through SAC, also. Just sayin'. But I like the imagery of the court swirling through a smog-filled cloud and descending, Wizard of Oz-style on Russell Westbrook's hand and K*be's knee.
I think that ship has already sailed. He did it for one half of one game. With a few timely assists from the refs.
