[Fairly-Hard]

So Nurk actually has a torn Achilles and the team is hiding it from us.
Winslow broke his ankle and the team is hiding that injury as well.
The Bad-Gee guy has completed the knee replacement surgery and is still two weeks away.
Still too early to tell on Simons
Arcidiacono doesn't just have a bad back? He lost his spine completely.

The team ran out of Toradol and it has been back ordered so they have no idea when they will be able to start giving out injections again? Gotta keep that on the down low with all the recent Hub Bub.

Don't tell the "Newbies" any of this stuff.

Go Blazers!

 

[Labinot41]

Dame vs CJ for the 1st time

Nurk has a torn soul.

But, really Winslow has been out a long time for a sprained ankle. We had other players with sprained ankles and they all returned. Must have been pretty bad.

 

[Mr. Robot]

one bad team vs one currently bad team

actually a game these losers (us that is) can win

 

[BlazerBeav]

Valanciunas is going to have a field day.

 

[BassPlaya]

Please....please.....please..............gimme a dub.

[illmatic99]

Whoa ant...

 

[DDolla]

My bet for tonight is Blazers in the first half. I can’t trust them in the 2nd half

 

[andalusian]

I have a feeling it will be the other way around actually. They will press on the start and it will not be great, but I suspect they will get it at some point.

 

[riverman]

Valanciunas is going to eat Eubanks alive in this one

 

[theprunetang]

Here's your miracle @Chris Craig . That's it. It's like a miracle ordered from wish.com.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Just what we needed. A rusty chucker with a questionable ankle and no D.
Jaysus, it's a St. Paddys miracle!

 

[riverman]

Ant is confirmed that he's available to play tonight according to Mike Lynch on the pregame radio feed.

 

[THE HCP]

ANT IS PLAYING FAMS!!!!!

 

[riverman]

ANT IS PLAYING FAMS!!!!!

Already broke the story bro....take me off ignore damnit!

 

[THE HCP]

Already broke the story bro....take me off ignore damnit!

Actually FAMS you said he was available to play FAMS!
I'm telling you he IS playing FAMS!

 

[THE HCP]

No Valacunis (sp) either

 

[BigGameDamian]

Actually FAMS you said he was available to play FAMS!
I'm telling you he IS playing FAMS!

What’s this saying about the tank though?

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

These Ivermectin/Toradol shots are amazing!

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Hope CJ gets a warm reception tonight.

 

[riverman]

CJ sold his house, wonder if he kept his vineyards and wine business..something like 318 acres

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I’d like to see these starters with Nurkic.
