Blazers @ Mavs 12/22/2009 Game Thread

Did anyone else notice that it looked like his patella wasn't where it should have been?

His knee looked weird, but did he have a bandaid on it or something? If not ya, it was messed up.

I literally had just turned on the TV to watch the game and the first image is of Joel Screaming in pain holding his leg. I screamed a little with him

 

[cdub503]

yup basically the same shit

 

[Nannerbee]

Yep... patella looked lower than it should be to me...

 

[maxiep]

They didn't say that that I know of (I can't hear from where I'm at, just watch), but having at least a decent background, I would be willing to bet money it's ligaments. Knees just don't bend sideways like that without torn ligaments (severe sprains). Maybe it will only be a 2nd degree sprain (partially torn), but I don't want to get my hopes up right now. Maybe I'll be completely wrong.

I'm an ACL and MCL veteran and don't want to play doctor, but I don't think you're wrong.

Greg Oden's injury proness is infectious

 

[alex42083]

So it looked to you that he hurt it jumping up and not coming down?

It could've been either.. not sure. It probably was the landing. It was hard to watch.. and my jaw kind of just dropped in shock over it.

 

[alex42083]

Five-guard lineup maybe? Webster at center? haha...

how are injuries funny? dont be a fucking douche.

 

[Darkwebs]

Howard missed the easy lay up. He's too dang old.

 

[Darkwebs]

Tolliver comes in to save the day.

Tolliver comes in to save the day.

hopefully not brick the day

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Well I wasn't gonna drink tonight, but fuck it.

 

[Darkwebs]

I love Bayless slashing to the rim for FTs after our team missed a bunch of shots.

Are you still having those dreams about Kobe bending you over a credenza?

Oh my god you're a fucking ghoul.

 

[LameR]

As if it weren't bad enough already. Well, I guess we'll see who rises to the occasion each night now because we're definitely going to have to try to just outscore teams now. get well soon Rudy.

 

[Darkwebs]

Roy 2 in a row for us.

 

[maxiep]

And suddenly without Oden or Przybilla, the middle of our defense is fork-tender.

 

[Toko]

Think positive blazer fans - john wall.

 

[Darkwebs]

Barea hate us or something. He's killing us with shots from everywhere and steals.

 

[maxiep]

Well, if this stuff has to happen, let's get it over with this year.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Think positive blazer fans - john wall.

ban hammer in 3 ... 2 ...

 

[maxiep]

Think positive blazer fans - john wall.

You keep dreaming about you and that credenza.

 

[B-Roy]

Howard is laughable. My goodness.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Is this actually an NBA quality basketball team anymore?

 

[RR7]

Think positive blazer fans - john wall.

go fuck yourself, seriously. What kind of a loser has no life but to troll the online forum of an NBA team he doesn't like? you win at life. for real.

 

[Darkwebs]

Howard is laughable. My goodness.

Yeah. His scoring is decent, but his defense and handling of the ball are atrocious.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Oden
Joel
Batum
Rudy
Outlaw

Holy shit
