Blazers' MEDIA NOTES (PDF format)


GO BLAZERS!

 

[Darkwebs]

DeMarcus Cousins will not play tonight due to a suspension for his altercation with Sean Elliot. What a knucklehead.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Wait, is KEX still simulcasting the games on 102.3? I thought the Blazers were moving to the AM ghetto.

 

[THE HCP]

Is Thomas Robinson back from his suspension?

 

[ehizzy3]

we have an advantage at 4 starting spots (could argue hickson vs thompson ), hopefully we win this..can't wait to see Dame shred up Isiahs defense?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Travis! How is he even still in the NBA?

 

[Darkwebs]

Is Thomas Robinson back from his suspension?

Yep, he is

 

[THE HCP]

NBA denies DeMarcus Cousins' appeal request that would have allowed him to play in tonight's game,

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Who is the worst team in the west . . . we will know tonight

 

[Rastapopoulos]

One step forward, two steps back:

#Blazers head coach Terry Stotts says he will activate F Victor Claver and deactivate G Will Barton tonight vs Kings.

 

[HailBlazers]

2-5 Championship, Let's get it ON!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

NBA denies DeMarcus Cousins' appeal request that would have allowed him to play in tonight's game,

Buy low, sell high.

Do it, Neil!

 

[THE HCP]

Per General Manager, Neil Olshey, the Trail Blazers are placing Victor Claver on their Active List and Will Barton on their Inactive List. This change is effective immediately for the game tonight in Sacramento.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

One step forward, two steps back:

As much as I want to see Barton grow, his performance has been worse than Nolan's so far. It's not like this choice was a net negative.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Who is the worst team in the west . . . we will know tonight

...except that their best player is out.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Buy low, sell high.
Do it, Neil!

Would you trade LaMarcus for DeMarcus? (La for De?) Serious question.

 

[jlprk]

I'm telling you, Claver = young Batum!

Make me look good, Viktor boy!

 

[Rhal]

Would you trade LaMarcus for DeMarcus? (La for De?) Serious question.

Fez loves DeMarcus, he would probably trade Lebron for him.

Guys an extreme headcase, on par with JR Rider. He is extremely talented and probably going to be the best center in the league at some point but you won't ever be able to count on him.

 

[THE HCP]

No Isiah Thomas tonight either.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Would you trade LaMarcus for DeMarcus? (La for De?) Serious question.

No, but I would think about DMC, Jimmer and their unprotected pick

Chris Haynes ‏@ChrisBHaynes
#Blazers F LaMarcus Aldridge is having soreness in his right wrist. Will have more info shortly.

Is this season over yet, because it is going by way too slow . . .

Its from all the Jumpers he is taking. Developing Tendinitis of the wrists because of taking a bajillion bad shots a game.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Would you trade LaMarcus for DeMarcus? (La for De?) Serious question.

Obviously not right now.

DeMarcus has the talent to be the best scoring big in the NBA that can also pass. It's a shame he has the maturity of a 15 y/o. Being a franchise on the verge of moving/verge of staying in Sacramento, he needs structure.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Sleep Train Arena.

Yeah, that was a great idea.

 

[Darkwebs]

Lillard!

 

[Sedatedfork]

Batum running the break and Damian dialed in so far.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dame scores our first 5 points. Sweet

 

[KingSpeed]

This game is huge. A win here could turn the whole season around. Speaking of Travis Outlaw, he scored 13ppg off the bench for us when we had him. Would the Kings do Babbitt for Outlaw? Maybe Outaw could rekindle his old game if we gave him the greenlight off the bench.

 

[KingSpeed]

Hickson looking to stick it to the team that cut him. I expect a big game from JJ.
