[MrSelfDestruct]

Ugh.

Per Twitter:

Well I know I miss seeing Marks on the floor . . .

SHIT!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Meniscus Camby!

Clap Clap Clap-Clap-Clap!

I thought the MRI came back negative?

 

[Nikolokolus]

That's too bad, but I'm glad they didn't dick around and let him keep playing on it for awhile thinking that it was just a minor tweak or something. It will be interesting to see if Cho maybe feels a little more pressure to send one of those first round picks of his to New York in exchange for Anthony Randolph ... not that he's going to be capable of fully replacing Camby or even doing half of what he does on the court, but this should once and for all settle the question about whether this is a year to make a hard push for an 8th or 7th seed in the playoffs or just tear it down and rebuild by exchanging the expiring contracts of Miller and Przybilla for some future assets.

 

[mook]

Start Przybilla or Dante?

Jesus christ. It sucks. It sucks so much.

I'm guessing there was a reason they got a second set of eyes (Dr. Roberts) to look at it.

 

[bluefrog]

DAMNIT!

sounds like the team should've kept it's trap shut before they made the announcement.

They better hope Joel starts to get his game back soon.

 

[tlongII]

Unfucking believable! It has to be a curse.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Hahaha!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Unfucking believable! It has to be a curse.

Camby has never had knee issues, but he's never exactly been what I would call an iron-man in the NBA. I know it would make more sense to believe that the foul gypsies are behind this latest injury, but that's just not true.











































































The truth is, God is a Laker fan.

 

[BBert]

So, Six Blazers have had knee surgery within the past year: Oden, Roy, Joel, Pendy, Williams and now Camby? Roy has had three surgeries in the last year, Williams two, Joel one last year then another when he reinjured it, Greg has had three in three years...Roy, Williams and Greg on each knee...my god this is theater of the absurd.

They've got us over a barrel. Or is that bent over a table?

I guess that answers the "LMA at center or PF" question.

 

[RoyToy]

This will bring the Blazers closer together. They'll be stronger because of this. I expect nothing but spirited efforts from here on out. We will look back at this day at the end of the year as the day the Blazers came together and grabbed the #4 seed.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

addition by subtraction anyone? FUCK.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

LMA wanted his rebound average to go up, so he poked Camby's voodoo doll in the knee.

ABM, this ^ is an example of 420.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

This team will struggle mightly without camby....it will be difficult to make the playoffs with this current setup

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

At least its only arthroscopic...

 

[illmatic99]

Fuckin hell. That negative bullshit fooled me.
