Any word on Nico?

[maxiep]

I haven't heard TNT say a thing.

 

[tlongII]

MRI coming soon?

 

[B-Roy]

MF

Yep.

 

[julius]

whatever the result, I'm sure it's the teams doctors and training staff to blame.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Oh I'm sure it's nothing.

 

[Rhal]

Should I shoot myself now or wait for the MRI?

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Should I shoot myself now or wait for the MRI?

I would wait. Nic asked to get taken out then limped off to the locker room. He'll be OK.

 

[Nikolokolus]

If I were you I'd strike while the iron is hot. No sense taking the risk that you might get some bad news tomorrow.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I haven't heard TNT say a thing.

Why would TNT say anything? It's not like Nic plays for the Celtics

 

[ehizzy3]

i wasn't even thinking about his injury being serious. damn..wtf better not be serious lol

 

[Rodolfo]

Seen on the web:

Blazers coach Nate McMillan will undergo an MRI Friday on his sore left knee.
Uh-oh. This came out of nowhere, just like Tyrus Thomas did last week. He could also be fine and ready to play the next game. Stay tuned.

[tlongII]

Nate's going to have an MRI?

 

[barfo]

Nate's going to have an MRI?

Yeah, but he could be playing next game.

That is the funniest thing you have ever posted. God they were annoying tonight. And I usually like those two.

QFT! I tuned in to watch a basketball game and got the Boston Celtics show. Who were they playing, anyway?

 

[blazedanugz]

I asked Jason Quick after half time what it was and he said it was a knee....

 

[e_blazer]

Given that we seem to lose a player to injury every other game, how many games before we're suiting up Blaze and Freethrow Guy? I'm too tired to do the math.

Shocking.

 

[maxiep]

It's Babbitt Time!

God, we're fucked.

Hammy?

Put Freethrow Guy at PG, and he's automatically the best defender at that position on the roster.

God.. I just want to sit behind that guy and throw popcorn at him.

 

[PapaG]

What are the odds that guy has a girlfriend? 1/100? He's worse than guys who paint their faces, which I've never understood.

 

[THE HCP]

Hammy?

knee.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The curse lives.

This will also throw a wrench in Cho's everlasting over analysis of this team.

 

[illmatic99]

I love this team and most of the players. And I love that they're fighting so hard every night. But if Nic will require surgery and have to sit out for an extended time, I'm probably going to take a temporary hiatus from the Blazers. I'm getting very little pleasure watching these guys take blow after blow with no end in sight.

 

[PapaG]

knee.

Hopefully just a strain. Nic is built like rubber band. If he blows out a knee, all hope is lost for this franchise.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Oden
Roy
Przybilla
Camby
Williams
Pendergraph
And now (potentially) Batum has some sort of knee injury.

That's four starters right there. As a fan it's draining. Something like this always happens.
