You guys are losing your minds. We're gonna win at least 50 games this year. Our best players will still be on the court.

God I'd give anything to see martell even go 2-5 on a night at this point. He just looks so ... "ugh"
fuck yes. Though I'm sure Orlando knows they'd have us over a barrel and are desperate, so I imagine his price just went up to something like Blake, and some draft picks and/or draft rights.
He's still not terrible starting. Past two games have been bad, but he's been serviceable for the most part.
KingSpeed, Even if I disagree with you that Oden WAS one of our best players and concede that Joel can provide solid minutes at center if he plays like last year, I think you're overlooking the value of depth. Right now, we have none. We will miss Oden just like we will miss Outlaw and Batum. It doesn't look good.
King: First, let me preface what I say by professing my fandom to the Blazers - for nearly 30 years. I appreciate you being extremely positive - especially after the tradgedy of GO tonight! To reality, I have been posting that (before Greg's injury) the Blazer's lack of chemistry could see us being at sub-500 by Christmas. Oden's injury may change this! In some weird way, the guys may dig deep and win some games between now and Christmas. Roy may be able to penetrate and have some [scoring] success; Pryz may start playing now; and Miller will be counted upon to run this team. But our lack of depth is our stumbling block. By Christmas Day against the Nuggets - we'll be at 500 or under.
I was trying to stay consistent with your post...I thought you were also assuming no additional significant injuries. I also agree we've played a very soft schedule...but it was poorly played by Roy and LA and...well most everyone except Greg I guess...I think their play will improve and partially offset Greg's loss. Yes, our serious lack of depth (I can't even believe I typed that phrase about this team) will be a stumbling block, but at this point, even with the hell we've gone through, I don't see us losing 20 more games than we did last year... One thing I do know for sure is these players are in for a serious gut check.
So we're going 3-8 from here until Christmas...strange but at this point I guess I'm the optimist. But you're right that stretch of 11 games doesn't look easy. I'm hoping 5-6 for a record at XMAS of 18-14...a little above .500...not by too much, but a bit...
This is what you have depth for. To cover yourself when you have injuries. So there you go. Here are the injuries and are depth goes to work. EVeryone's going to play more minutes, yes, and that's not a bad thing. People will get into better rhythms and play better, I think.
Hell no. At worst, we go 5-5 in the next ten games. That puts us at a respectable 18-13 going into our home game against the Nuggets. We'll win that game on emotion alone. That puts us at 19-13, on pace for 49 wins.
What happens when the depth (Yes, I'm using it as a noun) gets injured? (Which is what happened here)
hey speed can we find hcp predictions? i believe he said 33?? i wont stop till that thread is pulled up.
Don't you have a search function on your version of this site? It is probably covered by the deviled horned Blazer player hallucinations you have.
