Uh oh? John Butler is hurt and so is Cam Reddish.
What will they do?

 

People need to be giving this post some likes.

 

Can we forfeit the game?

 

"United Center in Chicago"?

 

maybe the Blazers can win, and Grizzlies fans will boo their team too ??

 

Well, they're not sitting Shaedon. If something funny happens and we win this game, it won't be funny.

 

Is this saying that the 4 questionable guys that played last game are not really very reliable health wise? Has 4-5 games put them in a position to be too sore to play?
Maybe this is getting into game shape soreness?

 

They have confidence now. Prepare for the worst.

 

Skylar and Shaq out:

Blisters

 

From raw-doggin Minnesota.

 

Really enjoying Knox and seeing him get after it. He is the new "dog" on the team. I will watch every second of the game, and will be rooting for a win. Just like every other game.

 

Then we don’t get to see Shaedon Sharpe. Just go watch the Seattle team on your avatar instead

 

Folks from Seattle reserve the unequivocal right to be a bit snotty. Their basketball team got stolen by OKC scam artists with enticement from the NBA.

Let's say one day you woke up one day and your basketball team was gone. Then a few years later your football team throws a terrible pass at the 1 yard line and loses the Superbowl. All because the Seahawks went full snob mode and tried to get Russell Wilson a SB MVP trophy, so Marshawn Lynch wouldn't get the street cred.

It's been a tough haul for Seattlelites, we gotta cut them some slack... know what I mean ??

 

Naw fuck them still

 

They won a SB though.

 

10 players on the injured list has got to be some kind of record?

 

We had 9 players and our coach truly injured all at once in 2009. Outlaw, Rudy, Oden, Pryzbilla, Mills, Pendergraph, and Nate all had surgeries and for a time there, Roy, LMA, and Blake were also hurt too. For a couple weeks our team was led by Bayless, Juwan, and Cunningham and they won some games. We still made the playoffs that season.
