Injury Update.......

[THE HCP]

Centers Marcus Camby and Joel Przybilla are out for tonight's game vs. Milwaukee. Forward Nic Batum is probable.

 

[Mediocre Man]

There are maybe 1 or 2 other teams that Portland could have played during this stretch that would have been better matchups without centers. Portland caught a huge break with this stretch of games

 

[RoyToy]

Maggette and Jennings out for the Bucks as well.

 

[THE HCP]

^ Holy shit, really! Man lucky for us!

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Vegas has us as a 3-3.5 point favorite with it being the lowest scoring game of the night.

[BlazerCaravan]

Batum to be in the starting lineup tonight.

 

[MIXUM]

with no centers... we arent beating the bucks tonight.

 

[hasoos]

with no centers... we arent beating the bucks tonight.

Yea and who will play point for the Bucks? I think that the Bucks are hurt worse with Jennings out than we are with both centers out.

 

[MIXUM]

yep... while marks guard bogut. lol.... yep they are in worse shape

id rather play dooling/bogut then miller/marks/cunningham

 

[Mediocre Man]

with no centers... we arent beating the bucks tonight.

Without Camby, Joel and Roy, our team is much better than milwaukee, we are playing at home, we had a day off....no reason not to kill this team tonight

 

[MIXUM]

i expect batum to play PF a lot!!!!!!

 

[THE HCP]

with no centers... we arent beating the bucks tonight.

If we win......... will you just go away and run your car head into a tree?

thats fucked up

 

[THE HCP]

thats fucked up

Oh really? How?

 

[maxiep]

Bogut will be a handful, but we won't have to deal with the speed of Jennings (which gave Miller problems earlier) nor the perennial nightmare for us that is Corey Maggette. If Maggette were playing, he would drain our bench by putting anyone defending him into foul trouble.

I think we win tonight.

 

[RoyToy]

Bogut will have fun trying to keep up with Aldridge on the fastbreak or just in general. Should be a lot of easy baskets for Aldridge tonight.

 

[MIXUM]

whats the difference between the whole mixum/lucas fiasco and hcp telling me to run my car into a tree (which my granfather is currently in the hospital for and will miss xmas cause of it)

The difference is a double standard. The sooner the forum understands that certain people will always get a free pass, the better.

Gramps better learn to drive then.

 

[THE HCP]

Sorry about your grandfather. I didn't realize that happened. I hope he has a speedy recovery. I should have never said that and I was out of line........ Now will you fucking go away?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Oh really? How?

Oh i dunno, wishing death/extreme pain on someone

LOL!

Any word on the long term health of either of them? I'm actually less worried about Pryz's ankle - not necessarily a quick recovery, but predictable - than a shoulder injury which can be serious and long term just as easily as not.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Aldridge is big enough to check Bogut - and is a nightmare matchup for Andrew on the other end. This is another game that we should be able to tough out with a depleted roster.

 

[THE HCP]

I didn't wish death or pain....... I just am tired of his shit he throws around here. It figures a Beaver fan would stand up for such a tool!

HCP (health care provider?) has a long history of crass, rude, and sarcastic jokes that I find enormously entertaining so his encouraging you to drive into a tree was fitting with his tasteless style of joking (keep it up!) and was clearly meant as such. Also, there's no way he could have known about your 'granfather' so there was equally no way he meant any inappropriate reference to your relative's sad situation.

In contract, Lucas passing was very public. And you were absoluately serious when you made your categorically inappropriate attack on the team using Luke's passing as some kind of sick reference.

The fact that you need that explained further illustrates why so many have nothing good to say to you or about you.

I'm killing myself trying to be civil, but with due respect Medocre Man, if you don't get this either you're no better.

And by the way I don't see how the Bucks are a lucky break for us given our missing centers since Bogut is likely to feast on our defense. The only good news for us is that they don't have any other serious weapons because of injuries, except maybe Salmons who is having a bad (just signed a contract!) year. Jennings is the type of guard that Dre really struggles against defensively so I'm glad Dooling is in there.

I always thought tools stood up for Beavers. Maybe Beavers love tools? Hard to say.

Wow, if I ever need a lawyer AGAIN, I'm calling you!
