BLAZERS @ BOBCATS - GAME THREAD

[Sinobas]

Wow, Outlaw might be done for the season now. Can't say I'm too upset about that. I think he hurts us 3x for every time he helps. Now we get a real backup PF in Juwan Howard.

 

[alex42083]

Dante Cunningham.. c'mon down!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

18-2 to end the half is ok with me

 

[mgb]

38-30 at the half. That's pretty bad, but at least we are leading.

 

[B-Roy]

Travis out for the season?

 

[andalusian]

Do we trade for a backup four now?

Who are you going to trade now? Rudy?

 

[KingSpeed]

Holy crap, if Outlaw is out for the season, we're screwed. He's our third leading scorer! And Batum is out!

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Juwan Howard time to get some burn!

 

[alex42083]

Did they show the replay on how Travis did it on the Blazers broadcast?

 

[drexlersdad]

dejuan blair would look good right now...

 

[Natebishop3]

2 for 8 now

Makes you wonder how much worse he has to play before Nate benches him.

 

[RoyToy]

I'm actually interested in seeing what Cunningham could do, but I don't think he'll get the minutes. Howard will for now.

 

[illmatic99]

I wanted Outlaw to play fewer minutes, but not like this.

Get well soon, Travis.

You know he's gotta be bummed right now, especially with this being a contract year.

 

[KingSpeed]

Yes, and another was at the end of the first quarter from 3/4 court.

Ed O.

exactly

 

[Ed O]

dejuan blair would look good right now...

Too injury-prone and doesn't play defense.

And Pendergraph is a superior towel-waver.

Ed O.

Holy crap, if Outlaw is out for the season, we're screwed. He's our third leading scorer! And Batum is out!

There you go with that comedy again. You're hilarious Eric!

 

[KingSpeed]

is Outlaw out for the season?

 

[julius]

dejuan blair would look good right now...

such a shame that KP didn't know that Travis would break his foot 5 months after the draft.

 

[RoyToy]

At least Roy and Aldridge don't have to worry about shots anymore. We'll really need them now.

 

[KingSpeed]

There you go with that comedy again. You're hilarious Eric!

He IS our third leading scorer and Batum IS out. These are facts.

 

[RoyToy]

is Outlaw out for the season?

It's tbd, but expect at least a month for now, probably more.

 

[alex42083]

Maybe'll it force Nate to use Greg and even Joel more, maybe some twin tower action.. barring that they can stay out of foul trouble.

 

[Ed O]

is Outlaw out for the season?

They dunno yet. The fifth metatarsal is what Patty Mills broke, too, iirc.

Ed O.

 

[MickZagger]

Put Cunningham in there Nate, you won't regret it.

 

[KingSpeed]

At least Roy and Aldridge don't have to worry about shots anymore. We'll really need them now.

Worry about shots? We don't want just two people scoring. We need Oden and Rudy and Webster scoring too. And Miller for that matter. LMA and Roy taking all the shots didn't work in the playoffs against Houston.

 

[Natebishop3]

He IS our third leading scorer and Batum IS out. These are facts.

You forgot that other part that you had in your post

 

[RoyToy]

Cunningham could spread the floor nicely imo.

 

[illmatic99]

Put Cunningham in there Nate, you won't regret it.

I hope so.

It will be interesting to see what Nate does, but my instinct points to Nate favoring the vet.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Sucks for Trav but we'll be fine. We have Howard and Dante. Does anyone know when Pendergraph is comin back?

 

[KingSpeed]

I'd love to see Cunningham out there.
