    I wonder if the new training staff is doing less heavy weight lifting or something? Maybe its improved the rest of the players bodies as we've had few injuries to knees or other areas but the guys seem to have weak hands and fingers.

    To anyone that is saying more playing time for Gee or Crabbe. I actually think it's more playing time for Biebs. Wright is a stretch 4. Crabbe and Gee can't stretch out a PF. They aren't strong or tall enough to guard the opposing 4 and Freeland or Kaman doesn't have the range Biebs has.

    They should spend more time playing patty-cakes to warm up before games.

    Apparently, the previous Blazers medical staff had issues with knees. The current group seem to have deficiencies with hands. I guess that's an improvement.

    So apparently he (or someone) decided he couldn't play with the issue?

    4-6 Weeks is essentially the rest of the regular season + the First Round (if we are fortunate enough to advance).

    I sure do.. It's all good though next year is the year. Let's just continue to develop cj, give him decent minutes in the playoffs, with wright out for awhile let's give Crabbe decent minutes as well and just get ready for next year..

    On the bright side that will just make even more excuses for us if we loose in the playoffs.

    Had a similar break a few months ago. It sucked. Are the Blazers the unluckiest NBA franchise? Thoughts?
