[inconceivable]

I thought AD is injured

 

[blazerkor]

I thought AD is injured

It says questionable.

Edit: and ESPN has him as a game time decision against the Suns tomorrow.

 

[Portland2014]

Could we finally get to see Scoot-Sharpe starting together!?!

What's better occasion than playing against the Lakers in L. A.

 

[Whyachi]

I thought AD is injured

with all the rest & practice Portland gets before this game, I bet LeBron will take the night off too. It's going to be a frenzy of high octane Blazer energy. A good time for Laker old guys to heat up a TV dinner and watch the action from the bench.

 

[KingSpeed]

Scoot is definitely back?

 

[BassPlaya]

"Scoot" your chair in and get ready....

 

[Kano John]

This will be a nice break for the guys to get a rest and regroup after some well fought battles.

 

[blazerfan11]

Duop Reath is back with the Blazers and not playing for the Remix tonight.
He scored 37 points (5-6 three-pointers) and had 10 rebounds in the Remix's first game ever on Friday.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I thought AD is injured

Sure as hell would make it easier for the win!

 

[THE HCP]

Big game for US......
WE need to win this!

 

[riverman]

Big game for US......
WE need to win this!

You have one of those reversable Laker/Blazer jerseys for this one? I'm sorry bro, your purple and piss are going DOWN! We have Skylar Mays back!

 

[THE HCP]

You have one of those reversable Laker/Blazer jerseys for this one? I'm sorry bro, your purple and piss are going DOWN! We have Skylar Mays back!

Who?

 

[Strenuus]

Who?

The guy who pointed and laughed at you on the team plane when you got on.

Oh wait, how can you know which one that was when they all did that.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Scoot is definitely back?

Sean Highkin: The Blazers just announced that Scoot Henderson will miss the next 2-3 weeks as he continues to recover from a left ankle sprain and bone bruise.

The Blazers have announced that they've recalled Kris Murray and Rayan Rupert from the Remix ahead of tomorrow's game vs. the Lakers.

They have to. Everyone is Injured.

Us and We being the Lakers?

 

[BigGameDamian]

LeBron out…Game just got easier folks!

Are we going to get slaughtered?

 

[blazerkor]

Are we going to get slaughtered?

I think AD, Reaves, DLo, Taurean Prince, Christian Wood, Rui and whoever else they roll out against us should do more than cover the current 8.5 points they need to beat the spread, when we're missing Malcolm and Scoot. I mean, we have really good players on our team and other guys that work their asses off so it's not out of the realm of possibilities that we get this win but I don't think ESPN is necessarily wrong saying that the Lakers have a 71% chance to win this game while we only have a 29% chance.

 

[Cugel]

I wouldn’t be shocked if AD plays very few mins tonight.

 

[KingSpeed]

With a win tonight, we may pass a lot of teams in the standings.

 

[blazerkor]

With a win tonight, we may pass a lot of teams in the standings.

... and with a loss tonight we'll be a step closer to one of our big goals as a franchise this season. I'm not really worried about losses until after the trade deadline and I'm pretty sure we'll get enough to secure one of the coveted bottom three records in the league, so I won't be mad if we beat the Lakers, I just also won't be too disappointed with what I expect will be another loss.

 

[THE HCP]

So I JUST now realized this…… is it just @THE HCP or do we tend to play teams when they are missing key guys? Anybody else see notice that?

 

[THE HCP]

I’m winning!!!!

 

[OR-84]

I’m winning!!!!

Is that for you, or for Mrs. HCP???

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

So I JUST now realized this…… is it just @THE HCP or do we tend to play teams when they are missing key guys? Anybody else see notice that?

Yes, you are right. Your Lakers are facing a team without their top three guards and without their very good backup center.
