Ruh-oh.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

At least we'll hold Westbrook scoreless...

 

[Darkwebs]

Damn. Looks like our injury luck is running out.

Even if he gets the correct splint, he needs to rest a bit. Let it heal.

Its a fucking finger.

 

[maxiep]

MOOOOOOOOOOOK!

wonder how it smells

 

[-Ace-]

Its a fucking finger.

Like last year, when it was a fucking wrist?

 

[Natebishop3]

MOOOOOOOOOOOK!

[video=youtube;wRnSnfiUI54]

I've got my torch and pitch fork ready.

 

[maxiep]

wonder how it smells

Probably like pate and Gitanes.

If he can't go I would think about activating Claver. Durant would abuse him seeing that it would be his first action in a while, but height wise he could help against Durant.

 

[oldmangrouch]

So far on this road trip, they have 2-1 playing 5-on-8. Now it will be 4-on-8. Ugh.

It's either him, Wright, or CJ.

 

[KingSpeed]

Or Barton! Oh no.

 

[Rhal]

That will be a big loss if he isn't able to suit up. If that happens i'd activate Crabbe and just try raining three's all day on OKC and when they are on the other end make sure you give Durant a bruise everytime he gets his 18 FT's of tomorrow nights game.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Do a Coach Pop and send the starters home.

 

[Strenuus]

Durant for 60? This could be really bad if it happens. Luckily we took the first 2.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Leonar_!

Send him out for the opening tip with orders to start a fight with Durrant and get them both kicked out.

 

[BigGameDamian]

You know if Batum can't go I would start Wright.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

You know if Batum can't go I would start Wright.

Stotts will probably start Mo, and put Matthews on Durant. In the middle of the first, when Wessy has fouled out, we'll see Wright.

 

[barfo]

Can we sign Ruben Patterson to a 10-day?

Wonder if we can get Durant to be nanny to his kids?

 

[THE HCP]

I would start Vic, no joke! I like what he can bring to our squad. Been working hard everyday. Give him another chance.

 

[cmeese47]

I would say my finger hurt too after getting destroyed by Parsons and Casspi all night.

 

[illmatic99]

Seriously, Terry. Rest the starters tonight and see if you can get the bench some confidence. Pull a Pop.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

The NBA scheduling 4 games in 5 nights all on the road, already wrote 3 auto losses into the season. It would be shocking and quite a huge upset to win any of those games. I'm not against sitting the starters. Portland is elite. Elite teams need to be healthy come playoff time.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

I would start Vic, no joke! I like what he can bring to our squad. Been working hard everyday. Give him another chance.

I think he would do better with the starting unit than he would with the backups. It would be worth a shot.

Maybe he had it up his ass while the Rockets (Rockettes?) were kicking it?

 

[riverman]

Nic has played a handful of games with a fractured finger, what else do you want from the guy? It swelled up against the Rockets and it's not going to heal if he keeps testing it. Nic was a big factor in our win streak even playing injured. He deserves some respect here don't you think?

Why yes. Yes I do.
