No I meant old school, like Brain referenced. I dislike the word hater but if it were to be used, I guess it might apply to Blue on Lamarcus.

I would fall easily into the Raymond Felton hater club..It was exhausting!
 
February is a great month to recover from an injury. Only 9 games and 6 of them are at home. Dame and Leonard can hold down the fort while our other bigs are out.

Wrong, blue and Sinobas actually want him gone. If you like, I can provide quotes if you desire.

example: Blue said he would rather have DMC than Aldridge.

Wanting a replacement is not the same as wanting someone gone. But you are BGD are different sides of the same coin so I shouldn't be surprised that you don't understand the difference.

He's also been on record that he would even be content with trading Aldridge for a young and picks just so Aldridge is gone.

There was a point in time where this was true - but it wasn't simply "a young and picks", it was very high lotto picks and specific young players. And this was a couple seasons ago (maybe last season?) - not this season. As things change, so do my opinions. I can't recall specifics, but I seem to recall being okay with Monroe/Singler/Lotto, and maybe Thompson/#1 pick.
Stop speaking for me and worry about your own thoughts and opinions.
For the record, you seem like a nice, fun guy with whom I would probably enjoy having a beer and watching the game. But as an internet poster I can't stand you.

BGD is me! Didn't you know this already?!?! That is my troll alter ego
 
That he hasn't even had an MRI yet is, to me, a real indication that it's serious. When I tore my ACL, the Dr. wouldn't MRI it for a week because they wanted to let the swelling go down.
 
There is no way this is going to be good news at all. I feel like LMA is going to be out at least 6 weeks. -___-

This. I don't even think the divisional race is anywhere near a lock, let alone the playoffs.

Sucks, because we built a big lead on OKC when they were injured, now they have a good chance of getting back because WE are injured. Them's the rolls. Nothing you can do about it.

Speaking of which, was it luck last year and stackpoles' crew just isn't as good as we thought, or is it "luck" this year and the injuries just 'happened' so to speak?
 
Injuries just happen. It's sports!

I know, but I guess what I'm really asking is Stackpole got a lot of credit for his new program... but, could there be any detriments to it, as well, consdiering the amount of injuries that have happened close together? Just probing the idea, that's all.

I would just say it's a run of bad luck. More stress on the other players when a key player gets hurt. That added stress creates more opportunities to injure the players not injured
 
Jeez, the pessimism around here is out of sight. LA had one MRI that was inconclusive. They didn't see a tear, but they couldn't confirm that one wouldn't show up on a new MRI once the swelling goes down a bit. There isn't anything in that that tips this either way as far as determining the severity of the injury and how long he may be out. Might want to hold off on writing the season off until the results are out.
 
I don't know how to say what I want to say without Kingspeeding the hell out of us, so I'll just shut up.

Well we are Blazer fans, after all.

And not writing the season off, but in the west it's obviously not going to be easy to make the playoffs if your star is missing for an extended amount of time. We didn't have much success against western playoff teams with him, let alone without him. We could conceivably go above .500 the rest of the way and still not make it. OKC is a lock to make a huge push now that they're healthy, so I think the wild card is Phoenix and whether they keep winning at this pace. We're currently only 5.5 games ahead of them.

You're right. Hard to not worry though, the massive swelling making the MRI inconclusive is what makes me almost know it won't be good news, and/or he wont be back anytime soon. I don't think the season will be toast, but OKC is getting hot and I could see us slip. I still think we'd make playoffs and if we're healthy and playing well, it won't matter what seed we get, we'll still have a chance to win games.

Astonishing how a small lil thumb iinjury is challenging by who I have to believe are some of the best docs to come up with a diagnosis.

This is going on Five days now.
