    Actually the official language of the forum is drunken rambling.

    I included the option to change your vote, so anyone can vote now and then change their vote when we get word about LMA and Nic's status.

    Almost sure it was Blazers edge, but I'll have to go back and find it.

    I don't remember hearing that specifically DURING the broadcast, just that it was his left hand, not thumb, and that x-rays were negative.

    That's impossible. Aldridge was at the hospital during the broadcast and unavailable for questioning. That was obviously just conjecture. Any plan that Aldridge has would've been determined after the broadcast.

    Exactly. During the game, Aldridge was never quoted as saying he was going to take his time with it. If he can move his hand, I would hope he'll play. There's a lot on the line in these next 5 games. If he sits out, we may not recover. Losing the division is in play. After all he has been through, why would he throw it all away if he could still play?

    He's in a contract year & slated to sign the biggest deal of his career this summer. It's a harsh reality but his good buddy Wes' achilles snapping cost him millions, maybe 10s of millions. If we were advisers to LA we could probably come up with 100 million reasons for him to play it safe. Not to mention all the 30/12 games he just put up where we still lost. I want him out there as bad as anybody, but the injuries are really piling up for him. Both thumbs, now his hand. Not suggesting he's shutting it down. He may play Tues. Who knows how bad that hand is or will be? But he needs to be healthy for us to have any shot at winning a playoff series anyways. Hate to say it but if the hand is jacked he's got to sit out.

    Can argue w/ me if you want. But I haven't gone to csnnw, nor other media outlets sense the loss in Washington... + I'm barely coming to s2 due to RL shit that is upcoming.
    The only blazer news I've received recently is from talkinball aka a blazer broadcast
    If I heard he's not going to rush it back.. Confirming what you read..
    Pretty sure there is nothing to argue about... then.
    But I guess we'll see Tuesday if Aldridge is playing or not.

    LaMarcus said his left hand, near his wrist, is swollen and hurts more than his thumb. Said he can't move it now, and won't rush back.
