So, is LA out?

I don't mind LA sitting out a few more games. The more Wright gets the start the better my post looks about bring Batum off the bench and starting Wright.

You really should have your mom preview your posts before you post them.

Im going to take this back because of how much I hate watching mo run our second units offense.

No. No it doesn't.

If Trob is out i wouldn't be surprised if he plays.

Looking at the schedule, after tonight's game the Blazers don't play again until Saturday. My bet is they rest Aldridge tonight so that he has until Saturday to finish rehabbing the injury and get into playing shape.

I'd be in favor of having Earl Watson ride Dorrell Wright's shoulders as our starting PF.

Pierce plays PF for the Nets? Seems like a decent match up for Wright at least defensively

that would make good sense

Well, it's official.

#Blazers press notes list Thomas Robinson as gametime decision, LaMarcus Aldridge out for tonight against the Nets.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Maris61 and VanillaGorrila will be sitting next to each other at the game tonight.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Robinson officially out. Claver is the backup center.

 

[blue32]

Jesus, when are they going to put the games on regular non-comcrap TV again. /wine /wine /wine

 

[jlprk]

Claver!!!! Claver!!!!!

You guys need me to inflate the thread's post count?

Just got some Chinese food, about to clock in and stream the game at my post. Am I a professional fan if I'm getting paid to watch?

Ouch.

Good point.

I stream as well. What link do you use?

A lot of good could happen to us in the standings if we win tonight. If the Clippers beat Houston, we will regain 3rd seed. If SA loses, we will be only a half game out of the 2 seed. If OKC loses, we will only be 3 games out of the 1 seed. Big night! Go Blazers!

 

[KingSpeed]

Aldridge has to play. What do we do if he doesn't? One big man. If Lopez gets in foul trouble, we have no C or PF. This is crazy. Why haven't we signed a D Leaguer? Collins could've helped.

We're in quite a pickle, that's for sure.

 

[Strenuus]

Almost tip time. Don't have a good feeling about the game... but that doesn't mean I won't cheer and listen.

 

[KingSpeed]

SA and OKC are losing

I don't either. NJ has a lot of bigs and they might score 80 points in the paint.

Eh. It's not that big of a deal when you have 2 days off at home after this... I think it's much wiser to just rest 'em up and get em back in the middle of this home stand..

 

[Strenuus]

lol. they did different music for the road starting lineup announcements.... damn corporate. just because it's brooklyn doesn't mean you have to do the stereotypical "rap/hiphop".

 

[Strenuus]

I do like how Mason does Nic's intro in french, though.

 

[Strenuus]

Violet Palmer is in the house. We lose.

Hands down the worst ref in the NBA.
