    Holy shit! Now Moses is a game time decision. I mean we wouldn't stand much of a chance in most of these games if we were healthy but with all of these injuries especially if it's Ayton, Reath and Brown out at the same time... oh well I guess.

    I wasn't planning on our team winning a lot of games against teams like the Mavs this season but I thought they'd be competitive and hey maybe I'll get surprised and the guys who are healthy will be more than competitive. Vegas isn't banking on it, they have us as a 10.5 point dog right now.

    Is there another team that has had as many injuries as the Blazers have had this season?

    I don't know. I also don't know if our guys are trying to play through anything/being asked to. They may be being asked to be very cautious with any injuries by management.

    the least durable team in the NBA. Too bad Shams turned into a Blazer whistleblower. Otherwise this team would be so jacked up on Toradol, we'd be talking playoffs instead of draft picks.

    Blazers might get one of the two but doubt it will be the first one.

    Listening to Lamar say that Ant is a veteran so he knows how to add and not subtract... like that's a given because a guy has experience in this league made me actually laugh out loud.
