    Now I'm confused......we were told on here by a few that injuries are lame excuses for losses. Are you saying we have less of a chance to win with key players injured? Which one is it?

    Not really sure myself? Seems like the defending Eastern Champs can lose with a full roster (- Meyers Leonard). Maybe it has something to do with having players and coaches that have been on the roster longer than 3 years? The Pels just beat the Suns. But wait?? The Suns Roster has all kinds of new faces also? Nah that can't be it? This whole thing is really very confusing for sure. One thing we know for fact because we read it on S2. "Injuries absolutely cannot be the reason a team is playing poorly". "It's Scheme and Coaching".

    Game-to-game evaluations. You are obviously a brand new Blazer fan.

    probably....but every once in a while in the NBA, circumstances like this lead to a real surprise. One team has no chance to win...and yet they do.

    (I'm channeling kingspeed before the caffeine kicks in and my natural cynicism reasserts itself )

    Especially this season but this team we're playing is filled with freakish monsters that have been on a roll. Hey, but here's to hoping. Go Blazers!

    I think it’s likely that he does rest. He’s a little banged up.

    Fuck olshey for thinking he’s smarter than every other GM and ignoring his two ways. We could’ve used those two spots. I say two because Blevins isn’t an nba player, just a glorified groupie.

    Anyways I’d go with this

    Simons
    Trent
    Hood
    Covington
    Kanter

    I'm annoyed that my pickup of Ant in fantasy yesterday won't go thru til tomorrow. This was so easy to foresee that he would play heavy minutes tonight after Casey's tweet yesterday about Dame's ab strain

    I doubt he’s gonna play heavy minutes because he’s got his own injury he’s playing through.

    Well the first time he got a loaded roster he won, so he's kinda like a one hit wonder.

    I want to start Melo and let him play 40 minutes; feed him every possession and pump up his trade value.
