Dear lord I'm ready for training camp, pre-season anything!

[THE HCP]

Lighten up barfman!

This board has been brutal because there are a lot f us who are tired of losing games to injury and then not seeing any improvement from a team that is not ever going to win a championship. We need to see some moves that will make us a contender.

We are a contender! This is a very good to great team now and could become something to remember for years to come. Healthy Oden, healthy Roy, and Batum and LA and we are right there. As someone has already pointed out, this can be "stop-em-dead-in-their-tracks' defensive team. Yeah there are the what-ifs of the nay Sayers but just what if they do stay healthy and they do buy into the D, what then?

It's so nice to see how low your expectations are. If your happy with two wins in the playoffs every year, this is your team!

Ya, being healthy with more experience and with a couple new players won't mean a thing.

Since when has healthy ever mattered to an NBA teams performance?

If I wanted to read about the Cowgirls I would look in another forum. This is a Blazers forum. Come on! Go Ducks!!

You are right, here is the right forum. Why don't you go and make a prediction on how your shithawks are going to do in the 'fav team and prediction' thread.

I made my prediction. Thanks for sending me in the right direction.

Do you honestly think this team is going to stay healthy? There are many guys that are not good defenders on this team. Really the only two guys that are proven defenders are Batum and Camby. So they can buy into the system all they want.

I guess it depends on one's definition of the word "healthy." Do I think we're going to see the avalanche of misfortune and devastation we saw last year? No, but do I think Greg will miss his obligatory 20 games or so, and Roy his 15? Probably. The thing that's really going to matter is when the injuries occur and just how thin we are or banged up when the playoffs roll around.
