    Place your bets now--who starts at PF: Leonard, Robinson, or Wright?

    Robinson. You know he will get up against his old college teammates

    Leonard. He's the guy that most plays like LMA - easiest plug-n-play.

    Seems like Stotts usually wants a stretch 4 alongside Kaman, I'll guess Claver or Leonard.

    Robinson, because he wants M3y3r$ on the bench making points.

    I would go with Claver. I think he plays best with starters since he does not have to shoot to be effective.
    Also because I think TRob and Meyers mesh well.

    Man, did Chip Kelly take over running the Blazers? No injury updates other than to say it ain't broken and he's not playing tomorrow. Anybody have a link to a good Korean hacker? They probably know what the deal is.

    I would expect Stotts to play the guy who fits into his established offense. And that ain't Robinson. Unless he gives Kaman the LaMarcus role and Robinson the Lopez role. Which might not be a bad idea. Then Meyers could be the designated shooter off the bench, along with CJ.

    But I'd rather see Meyers start in the LaMarcus role, then change things up with the Cardiac Kids (and old man Blake) off the bench.

    I'm hearing that this situation is very similar to Oden, during the examination they discovered one thumb is half an inch longer then the other one.

    This explains his tendency to go left and have better luck hitchhiking south or east.

    Seriously. When it takes this long just to get a diagnosis odds are it's not going to be good news.

    I think it's a perfect excuse to get LA some rest and play the bench more before the break. Hopefully it's just hyperextended or a deep bruise.

    My guess is that they want to wait for the swelling to go down a bit so they get a more accurate scan...but then, what do I know? I'm just a message board MD.
