Camby Status?

[tlongII]

If someone could post if he's definitively playing tonight or not in this thread it would be apprciated. All I've heard is speculation to this point.

 

[Sug]

Marcus Camby will be at the RG tonight

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

He will start and play 20 min




wow, now im really excited

 

[illmatic99]

@jwquick:

Marcus Camby will start, be limited to 20 mins tnite vs. Atlanta

 

[tlongII]

Play him the first 10 minutes and the last 10 minutes of the game!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Blazers official tweets:

@MarcusCamby23 will start tonight

Gerald Wallace will also play, coming in off the bench. Should be exciting tonite at the RG

Coach McMillan says he will keep @MarcusCamby23 to 20 minutes, Brandon Roy to 15 minutes

 

[THE HCP]

Attention: Atlanta

Portland C Marcus Camby (knee) upgraded to probable for tonight's game vs. Atlanta.

 

[julius]

Well, turns out he was traded for a 2nd round pick. So we won't be seeing him anytime soon.

 

[Sug]

I am going tonight, this is turning into the best ticket of the year perhaps.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Great to hear that he's playing! Let's hope he kicks some ass... grabs some rebounds... and blocks some shots!!!

 

[illmatic99]

I don't want to jinx it, but this will be the first time in a looong time that we'll have basically our whole roster (sans GO and EWill).

It's still in "Queen with Paul Rogers" territory without Greg, but we can't go back to the full "Queen" lineup until next season, so bombs away!

 

[Public Defender]

Hmm... those tweets conflict with what's in The O. It says Wallace is starting and Camby is "questionable." Maybe a decision was made yesterday/last night, after press time?

Great analogy!

Heh.

It's about as fully available as it's gonna be this season.

I would expect the tweets to be more "real time."

Marcus Camby will return to the Trail Blazers starting lineup and Gerald Wallace will make his debut in a reserve role tonight against Atlanta at the Rose Garden.

Camby, who missed 16 games after undergoing left knee surgery on Jan. 20, will be limited to 20 minutes, coach Nate McMillan said.

"I'm excited. Excited,'' Camby said. "I just want to contribute, no matter how many minutes it is. I just want to be productive and effective.''

 

[Public Defender]

I would expect the tweets to be more "real time."

I would, too, but I would also say that folks tend to worry less about 100% accuracy when it comes to Twitter.

 

[B-Roy]

"I just want to contribute, no matter how many minutes it is. I just want to be productive and effective.''

Heh, wonder why he didn't say that before the trade deadline...

 

[illmatic99]

After playing 24-minutes against Denver on Friday, Brandon Roy will return to his 15-minute limit, McMillan said. Roy did not suffer any setbacks or swelling with the extended play, but McMillan said the team wants to be cautious in bringing their star back.

This is reassuring.

Well, the quote from Camby kind of seals it, I think.

Nate and keeping players to limited minutes" very often is a fantasy

 

[BBert]

Brandon Roy, Gerald Wallace and Marcus Camby off the bench? That's some bench.

Edit: Marcus starts but plays 20 minutes? I guess we'll see.

 

[MIXUM]

its great and all but the schedule is very tough the last month and half. holding off the suns and grizz will be almost impossible

 

[mook]

Man, even with "just" Roy and Wallace coming off the bench, for at least one night we'll go from one of the worst benches in the league to one of the best.

 

[MIXUM]

day late dollar short imo

 

[mgb]

I wonder if Camby waited until this game just to show he wasn't waiting until the trading deadline was over to play.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

day late dollar short imo

Well who really gives a shit about your opinion?

 

[MIXUM]

relax! im just saying I think this revamped bench is too late. Suns and Grizz are getting in with their easy remaining schedules. Its us or Denver. And Denver also has a easy schedule.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Who cares about the schedule if we are better than those teams...

At this point... the only teams we "should" lose too in the west is SA and LA

OKC and DAL is a tossup

And we should beat everyone else.....
