The whole Blazer team is questionable again

 

[illmatic99]

we can't have nice things.

 

[THE HCP]

Will having Nas out now impact the outcome of the game for us?

No... injuries do not matter, they're just an excuse.

 

[e_blazer]

Dame said we’re not a championship team. His words. Says a lot

Feel bad for the dude

You left the word "currently" out of his quote. Not surprising.

 

[AldoTrapani]

So Nas questionable? Boy that injury bug is sure contagious

 

[blazerkor]

That's some superstitious bullshit.

 

[AldoTrapani]

I know lol but as soon as Nurk went down I called it I said watch this shit will be contagious just kinda basking in that

Start Melo! Time for Elleby to go off.

So first of all you admit you called some bullshit and I already point out that you go negative any time that you can possibly do so. So when something negative happens to the team, you are going to be right. Like I said before, congratulations. You won ten dollars after losing that same ten dollar bet four out of every five times.

What gets me is how the hell is Nas hurt the guy never even plays and he’s already soar

You're right to be pissed that all of our guys are getting injured, it does suck.

 

[kjironman1]

You didn't mean literally at the same time, did you?

So first off maybe we should address breaking someone's comment into pieces and putting it back together.
Then maybe we should address reading the actual comment.
It says "On the Team" thinking that Nurk has generally always been injured but it doesn't say "I'm Torn" about that issue at all. That was a different paragraph about the record. Guess could have used green font to separate the issues beings it was sarcasm?

Fuck man Dame plays every game for 36 plus minutes for years never gets hurts and this dude Nas starts 2 games is already questionable in year 2. Not a great sign

I can't tell if you think I was being critical or dismissive of your post? I wasn't; I was just trying to find out if you wanted them both on the court at the same time. I'll have to go back and read again concerning the sarcasm, maybe I missed everything...

I accidentally included "I'm torn here" from your post; maybe that led to some confusion.

I thought Giles was our next star!

No... injuries do not matter, they're just an excuse.

that short-handed teams are going to be worse in most situations is not debatable, IMO. That's obvious and logical

but when a team fails, over and over, the same way when healthy as it does when short-handed, people are justified in viewing some of the 'reasons' offered as excuses. This is the 2nd season now when the team had the same substantive flaws when the IR list was 1 player long or 6 players long

something else to consider is that at a certain point in time (and I believe we are well past it), you have conclude that a roster is too prone to injuries, and the team too reliant on risky players

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

He seems to lack the intensity that I like to see in a young guy. The game seems to go too fast for him when he is on defense. He does do some nice things on offense occasionally.

I agree there could be a case made that the roster is built with injury prone players.

The closest thing this team was to healthy in the last 3 seasons was 2018-19. I would say the results of that team was much different than 2019-2020 or what we've seen so far in 2020-2021.

I get not liking the defense, that's totally legit. To say all these injuries isn't having a real impact on the win/loss percentage, the teams ability to have good seeding in the playoffs, and therefore have a more favorable matchup to advance in the playoffs seems like a real stretch. I would say it's possible for this system to not have a great defense and still advance in the playoffs; we've done it.

Dammit. Another injury to a Blazer that was in the starting lineup. Why’d it have to happen over and over again?
It’s not like today is Groundhog Day or something.

I was really thinking you were being either. I thought you were being funny is all. So I went full on snark.
Sorry.
No I don't really think we need Kanter and Nurk at the same time but Kanter is a good back up and it would be nice to have both for an extended period. Just seems like they can't keep them both healthy or on a contract.

Giles is soooooo January. This is February so it's now Little! Try to keep up here.

 

[Tince]

Funny, I went from liking the possible value of a Giles signing at the minimum, to cringing that people think he's worthy of 20 minutes a night.

Everyone loves that backup QB!

Uh oh. Phil isn't gonna like hospital food.

 

[kjironman1]

Is it really Carmelo Anthony who is injuring every wing player that might take his spot? Is he actually manipulating things so Stotts has to play him? Could this be all part of his master plan to stay relevant in the league? Maybe he is the one who pushed a player who bumped into another player that caused someone else to tweak Little's knee and sprain Jones's foot and re-break Collin's foot and break Nurks wrist. We need to go back and look a little closer at the video and see what's up here? How did Roco really get a concussion. Inquiry minds really do want to know?

Already? Imagine if he played a lot

OMg even ex-blazers Meyers is hurt
