    There are six teams with worse records than Utah. Utah recently beat Miami. We are not a good team without Aldridge. But without Freeland and Leonard too? We're screwed. Will be interested to see who will pick up from D League tomorrow.

    We were beating the Spurs at full strength when we were a lottery team. We've got this.

    Release the Claver!!

    I thought LaMarcus had the groin pull before the ASG. Then he played in the game (poorly as it turns out), but won't play in our games. I wouldn't care so much if Leonard hadn't gotten hurt too.

    Regardless, I'm glad they are going to sit LaMarcus now and have him heal up. We need him healthy.

    Spurs, without Parker, beating Clippers in LA. Tomorrow will be tough even if Duncan sits it out. Spurs are so good.

    Drew Gooden is still available I think. A 10 day contract would be okay.

    That's why I don't have him starting. If he does, Batum will have to be PF almost immediately due to Robinson's fouls, so why not start Batum at PF. Like in the lineup I posted.

    Injuries can help teams by giving the bench playing time and confidence. I think Robinson will step up and make the most of his time. This is also Claver's chance to showcase himself.

    Re: Aldridge out a week with groin pull

    Reading this board and people's opinions of the players one would think the Blazers were the worst team in the league.

    Not sure how much D Lopez should play in the first 3 quarters. He can NOT get into foul trouble. He needs to play 35 minutes.

    TRob needs to play a solid 13-15 at center

    At PF I can see Trob with about 17, Claver around 23, and maybe Wright with the last 8 minutes.

    I am hoping we can at least guard their stretch 4's.

    I see a LOT of CJ / Mo / Lillard in our future, with Wessy/Batum at PF. Should be hilarious... I mean interesting!

    I hope so! It'll be fun to see a small ball lineup of Lillard/CJ/Matthews/Batum/Lopez. We've got the shooters to do it. Have Claver back up Batum at the 4 and Wright/Barton the 3. At the very least we can take another crack at the 3pt record.

    I put as starters the only 5 players left who can play many minutes without foul trouble. If anyone else starts, his fouls will soon cause him to go to the bench, replaced by the guy I said should have started.
