Man so many injuries. This team hasn't played fully healthy in hardly any games this season. Is Chauncey's run and gun too much for this team? Is it perhaps part of what is causing so many injuries?
It does. I wonder if over weight training contributes to that area. It did for me, years ago with double hernia.
Coach might have to put Forwards in the SF slot now. Good thing they're all rookies, Cronin doesn't have to worry about sliding up in the win column.
The tank is starting earlier than ever. Portland has mastered the art of giving away games to build for a future that never seems to arrive.
what are your timing expectations for retooling/rebuilding a franchise trying to retool/rebuild its talent/asset base?
got it, so they should be ready to challenge for the play-in/playoffs this year, in your opinion? the team seems to be in asset acquisition and development mode. they're frequently starting or giving heavy rotation minutes to rookies and 2nd year players. (last year they seemed to be splitting timelines still—sharpe and watford were the only 1st-2nd year players in the rotation.) there's nothing timeline splitting about this year's roster: sharpe, scoot, camara, walker and reath are all getting heavy rotation minutes. the coach sucks. the team has dispensed with its stealth retool approach in favor of a much more overt one.
