    Ya, he has been to a ton... One of those guys with deep basketball roots/connections that you wouldn't believe.

    Didn't Elliott have a bad knee before we drafted him?

    Seriously more insensitive than Mixum's comments.

    Yet Pat Riley, who is famous for ridiculously tough (and unnecessary) practices, hasn't had this problem with players. Plus, Nate's practice habits, after years of non-patellar injury, finally started hurting players in the middle of last season?

    In related news, the Webster's dictionary is replacing the word "patella" with "Blazer" in their next edition.

    Get well soon Eliot

    :sigh:

    Patella, chips, and a little whine, perhaps? ;)

    Bummer for him and for us, who would at least have been able to hear about his exploits in the D-League.

    Are we going to get any sort of exception for him in terms of roster spot?

    Hopefully not. Because that means we have someone else going down for at least 2 weeks.

    I don't know about firing anyone. However I do believe the Blazers must be doing something wrong for these guys to keep blowing out their knees.

    Reverse-curse. It was only Oberto with a life-threatening medical condition due to my quick thinking.

    :(

    I may have to pop a Xanax before each game due to the irrational fear of catastrophic knee injuries to any Blazer who lands from a leap.
