    7 people on our injury list! That is a Blazer playoff record as far as I can remember. But why isn't Conley and Allen listed on theirs? They are banged up too.

    Will be interesting to see if they get it going in the playoffs. I think they brought their game up to another level last year. This team rarely clicked on all cylinders this season.

    The Injury list is done by the coaches so if the coach doesnt care to list them then thats on them.

    Is this Batum's last chance as a Trail Blazer? I've been on the fence whether he should return next season, but always held out until the playoffs to see how he performs on the biggest stage - he was fantastic in the Houston series last year.

    No Wes. No Arron. It's his time to shine. We all saw how good this team is when he's dialed in (Clippers comeback, anyone???). We need Nico and we need him to be aggressive and we need him to get RoLo going in the pick and roll. Who knows, maybe Gasol gets into early foul trouble because we're making him work on defense?

    I think he is the x factor. And because I think we win this series. I think he shows.

    I'm not sure that's enough for me to want to keep him. People pay good money to watch good basketball. They deserve effort, desire and good quality basketball 82 games a year. Not when it's convenient.

    Reports from 6 hours earlier said Conley and Allen would definitely play, so I took them off the injury list. But just a while ago, an updates said Conley and Allen are now both game-time decisions. I've added them back to the injury list.

    Not sure what mind games Memphis is trying to play...

    The Portland broadcast just filmed me entering the building. Will some post a picture of it if they air it and post here?

    Best thing our backcourt can do is to run Conley and Allen around the court and into screens. If they're not 100%, they'll degrade faster than if they were healthy.
