    I said 13, if he's healthy and not having lingering issues.

    We have pretty much the same record as many teams prognosticated to be better than us.

    Hold your britches before we start with the gloom and doom.

    Not sure? Lets go back in time and bubble wrap him so we can all live it?

    I'm kidding. You know that right?

    There is no alternative universe so I can't say for sure. But it stands to reason having their best player at full strength would improve the Blazers. Not just them. Look at any team when their best player is out. A team can compensate for one or two games but not long term.

    I was being clear to the OP. He has a flair for the dramatic but seems to totally miss sarcasm.

    Dame barley plays anymore between last season and this season anyways. So we better find ways to win without him

    No doom and gloom here. We are playing above my expectations.

    Yeah because when he has a bad shooting night he fakes an injury for a couple weeks.
