    I disagree. I think LA isn't playing well right now and the team is slumping. I have full confidence that by the playoffs we'll be Red Hot & Rollin' once again.

    I agree with that.

    Problem is we went to LA as if he was 100%.

    Somebody on twitter last night said that the Portland Tribune had confirmed that LA had broken his tailbone. Pretty sure it was somebody from S2, lol...

    Every post I've seen of his has had something questionable like that. Cat needs to chill...

    I think he was saying LA wasn't healthy, and wasn't playing well because of it.

    I guess this is Robinson and/or Leonard's chance to step forward and show something.

    With Freeland out for the year and the playoffs (probably) looming, there's no better time for these lotto picks to step forward and show they've got something. At the very least they should be fresh.

    Robinson and especially Leonard both have a lot to learn. I'd say, in their second years, they are both playing like rookies, albeit rookies with potential. The more minutes we can give them the better for their development and for the team's chances next season. Young bigs need time.

    Seems to be the natural progression of the PF spot in Portland.
    Either that or Lillard should ask the team to trade him a la Roy/Zach.

    So a post like this doesn't equate as trolling?

    That was either a personal attack or Denny hijacking his account because it is his forum afterall.

    I have had a very similar fall to the one LA took on the court but mine was playing outdoor full court in Hawaii on concrete. It'll heal but give him limited movement for a long stretch. Not sure what Joel Freeland's status is but has anyone else notice how much he's been missed since his injury? I hope LaMarcus did not sustain a deep bruise on the tailbone. TRob and Meyers are learning on the fly and together they can develop a decent frontcourt off the bench. Sort of photo negatives of each other.

    I want TRob to play 40 minutes. A lot of good comes with his bad! Unleash him!

    The problem with that idea is for TRob to play 40 minutes, the NBA would have to expand the number of personal fouls to nine from six.
