Could LaMarcus Aldridge miss the game tonight?

[KeepOnRollin]

Hmmm I guess we can use the excuse his ankle is injured, which effects his game? This will fucking suck if he can't play. I came all the way here to miss him?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Start Meyers Leonard! Oh wait...

Start Victor Claver! Oh wait...

Fuck ankles, man.

 

[mook]

Damn. I've wanted Leonard to get a chance to start and be more of a featured player in the offense. He's the one guy who could play a lot of the same roles as LMA in terms of the Pick and Pop.

 

[illmatic99]

Tanking starts?

 

[KingSpeed]

Leonard started when I saw us play the Nets in Brooklyn cuz Aldridge was out. Leonard scored 12 points in a great first half for us but we fell apart in the 2nd.

 

[KingSpeed]

Also- when we won 13 in a row years ago, Aldridge missed 6 of the games.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Free Freeland!

 

[Pinwheel1]

I read yesterday that he hurt his ankle in the N.O game. Probably why Jeffries was in the game on D at the end.
Not sure when in the game he hurt it.

 

[jlprk]

I don't understand people saying Leonard should start as a rookie. He's a project; a foul machine. He'll be on the bench in the 2nd half, and Stotts will have to try other subs when Hickson rests. Just leave the rotation as it is this year.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

This is a jlprk conspiracy! Hickson to start at 2 positions!

 

[jlprk]

You're making me a happy man! Next, I'll campaign for Hickson to take Lillard's job.

Hickson's heart and effort will inspire Raef LaFrentz's Expiring Contract to start at Invisible Center.

I had to laugh the other night when the rebound that led to the Ryan Anderson 3 bounced off LMA's hands into the corner. If he gets the handle on that we win the game.

Michael Bolton (Holton) explained that lack of explosion from the ankle injury kept him from catching it and I was picturing you rolling your eyes. LOL

why? I want the lotto pick

 

[magnifier661]

why? I want the lotto pick

My own selfish reasons. I flew all the way to Portland to watch him play. Lillard too. Sucks if I can't see him during my trip.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I read that Leonard is gonna play tonight.

Yes, the cause of bad hands isn't an ankle. He bobbles the ball in about a fourth of his catches but gets no turnover stat for losing it because he never got full control. When he does control the catch, it takes him a second to grasp it firmly, which is one reason he spends 3 seconds stepping around, deciding whether to score or pass.

 

[blazedanugz]

it was tweeted by freeman or haynes that everyone is most likely a go tonight besides claver. i know i know you want a link or whatever but sorry im too lazy. take my word forr it or check there twitters yourself

ankles are the new knees.

As I said, Leonard already has started this season back in the fall.

Gosh could you imagine if he didn't bobble those passes?! He would score 40 a night! We should trade him for pieces like Matt boner and Andre kirelinko. Then we can be hipsters and say we knew these players when no one else knew about their monster inside game.

We will be so "in the know" that we will be able to figure out their daily grind of girls and hookers and the vintage plaza beer bottle incidents. It will be our players man! How dare anyone know about our hip team?!?!

So it always pours in Portland?

Yes!!!!!! ~

I would say that's accurate for about 9 months out of the year.
