Shrouded in reality?

Off to the arena boys! Might be a loooooooonnngggggggg night! Go Blazers!

 

[hasoos]

Any results on Roys MRI yet?

 

[MIXUM]

if portland wins this game... i think it would be most improbable win in the last 10 years (esp if roys out)

 

[MIXUM]

mri will happen in portland.

Not really. San Antonio has lost about 1 out of 4 games at home this year. Some to teams that are not so good.

How sweet would a 3-1 result from this trip be?

Completely Frackin Sweet!

Now now...you're not allowed to use such strong language as "frack" here.

Fork you buddy.

You guys just need to spoon each other and get it over with.

I think if we beat Boston last year without BRoy...We can beat SA without BRoy...If his shoulder is even sore I wouldn't want him playing. I have dislocated my shoulder before and it takes months to get back to normal. You have to be extremely cautious.

I agree, there's literally no reason to risk further injury until they know more about his shoulder. I truly appreciate the warrior mentality, but I don't trust this team's medical staff to dispense advice.

TOP SECRET copy of the Spurs game plan tonight:

"Give the ball to Timmy."

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Off to watch this one at my local watering hole. Man if we pull this one out I'll buy the entire bar a round. Go Blazers!

I am kind of worried. I heard he is going to play... and that scares the heck out of me!!!

How do you feel about Roy playing or not?

 

[BenDavis503]

Fork you buddy.

I wrote a I LOVE MY DUCKS parody... and one of my lines was...

If you don't like my team, then I scream FLOCK YOU!

hehe

I don't want him to. It's kind of like how I feel about Batum playing in France all summer. Unless you know exactly what's wrong and how your activity might exacerbate the problem, the risk/reward suggests playing it safe.

Spurs priority:

1. Quadruple team Aldridge.

2. Exploit everyone not named Aldridge on defense.

3. Win.

So what's the over under on this one now that Roy is "doubtful".

Are there any additional D-league players in a city near San Antonio we can sign right now and play tonight.

I guess MM was wrong, there is an advantage to having a limited number of offensive sets. Easier to learn when everyone implodes and we need replacements.

 

[alex42083]

Jerryd Bayless, we need you score to score 35 tonight.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Roy's not doubtful. He's out.

Bayless starting according to Rice.

 

[blue32]

BREX PREPARE TO EAT THE SPURS! GO BABY!

 

[B-Roy]

Win or lose, this is a huge opportunity for Bayless in his first start ever.
