    That sucks big time. Getting Afflalo was obviously huge now. We can still win it.

    That fact that Wes Matthews is in a wheel chair says enough.

    Everyone needs to say a prayer for him.

    This is a big deal. But not near as big of a loss as it would be if we hadn't picked up Afflalo.

    There is depth at that position. But I think they need to make a run at Ray

    As bad as we feel, Wes definitely feels worse; he's a warrior and wants to be out there. I feel awful for him.

    Portland Trail Blazers guard Wesley Matthews suffered a left torn Achilles tendon and will miss the rest of the season, a league source told Yahoo Sports.

    The loss of Matthews is a devastating blow for the Blazers' hopes of challenging for a Western Conference title, as well as a significant personal hurdle for Matthews. He's set to become a free agent this summer and expected to command a significant deal.

    Matthews was injured in the third quarter of Thursday night's victory over Dallas in the Moda Center. Matthews crumpled to the floor upon making a move to the basket. He had a streak of 250 consecutive games played end on Dec. 10, 2012, only to start a second streak of 142 games that will end now.

    In the best season of his career, Matthews was averaging 16 points and making nearly 40 percent of his 3-pointers. He is one of the NBA's best 3-point shooters.

    The Blazers' trade deadline deal for Arron Afflalo will give them an experienced shooting guard to move into the starting lineup. C.J. McCollum will likely play a more significant role off Portland's bench.

    Afflalo or not this is a huge loss. This is not good at all.
