    Looks like Davis tweaked his ankle. Lakers may have to pull the plug on Lebron and AD for the regular season and just get healthy for the playoffs...one can hope anyway.

    I do agree with this...

    You're not good looking for a moderator compared to the rest of us.

    Wouldn’t cry if I don’t get to watch AD in the Moda Center tomorrow.

    I wonder if how much of the Lakers success last year was due to the league shutting down for 3 months and giving Davis (and to a lesser degree, LeBron) a chance to heal up from his annual trip to the injury list.

    maybe the Blazers should petition to get a 3 month reprise during the season each year...

    Nah, much as I hate to say it, Lakers were the best team all year, and it wasn't really close.

    Playoffs this year will be interesting though. Lakers will be most feared 6 seed since 95 Rockets.

    The Bucks were by far the best team all year last season, up until the break. And the break killed that teams momentum.

    I mean we benefited from the shutdown with Nurk getting more time to heal up.

    Hey, if tonight goes well, and the Blazers are then able to go 3-2 over their final 5, they might be able to hold them off and relegate them to the play-in, which would be awesome. With UTA/PHX/DEN to close the season, I'm not particularly hopeful of that, but there is a chance.

    Twice now I'd just about to write them off, and here they are still fighting. I'm still doubtful that they'll go very far in the playoffs, but I wouldn't be very surprised to see this team do some serious damage, either. Knocking the Clippers out of the playoffs in the first round would be amazingly satisfying to me.

    Oddly, aren't those the only games they have lost of their last 11.

    Harden is by far the most valuable of the big three; they struggle without him.
