Joel Freeland - injured knee?

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Wow, dude. Welcome to the Blazers - you are already a better fit to join this team than I ever could have imagined.

Returning to GB for tests, per Ian Whittell's twitter.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

If true.... wow. Good thing Freeland was going to be nothing but a benchwarmer this year.

 

[tlongII]

You gotta be kidding me...

 

[Blazinaway]

meh, worse case is likely a cartilage tear, out 4-6 weeks and ready for camp

 

[drexlersdad]

ug.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Sounds like a minor tweak that occurred during shootaround (WTF?). And GB is just being overly cautious.

 

[MARIS61]

Rather have Joel P than Joel2.0 anyway.

 

[ironcrotch]

Seems precautionary. He's got a lot on the line for both GB and the Blazers.

Do you ever have a sane thought on the Blazers?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Well, fuck.

 

[maxiep]

Or microfracture and out for the year. We've all heard this tune before.

 

[Natebishop3]

And this is why I hate our guys playing in the Olympics.

 

[Rhal]

From all i'v read its really nothing more then precautionary by GB to make sure there whole team is 100% healthy for the olympics. Same reason Deng is out and has had tests.

 

[Sedatedfork]

In other words, it is Saturday.

 

[OLDSchool_BlazerFAN]

And this is why I hate our guys playing in the Olympics.

An injury prone player is gonna get hurt regardless.

Good thing Freeland fucking sucks ass anyways.

Would this be the tune?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

This tune, actually.

 

[Mediocre Man]

End of the Basketball God's punishing us

Swayed

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I don't quite understand what this is:

Luol Deng was rested for the game while Joel Freeland, who has just signed for NBA side Portland Trail Blazers, picked up a niggle during the warm-up and was benched as a precaution.

Anyway, I've read two articles that mentioned that this was just a precautionary thing.

That's why I never pick up niggles when I see one laying in the street; you think to yourself, "hey, free niggle!" But it just isn't worth it.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Fucking niggles. This country would be so much better without all the fucking niggles in it

Niggle, by the way is a discomfort, or annoyance of a persistent kind.

I am friends with a couple of Brit's and they say it all the time. I asked one time, what it meant

 

[tlongII]

Sounds like something in a rap song.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Sounds like something in a rap song.

(I really can't believe I'm about to write this, but you all must share my pain...)

Sounds like a Chinese guy trying to insult a black guy.

 

[julius]

that picture is creepy. Its like I can actually hear the kid saying it.

BTW, does anyone know the actual story behind that picture?

 

[julius]

btw, no,

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Bobby Medina on his way to London to help Freeland gain 20lbs before Olympics.

 

[e_blazer]

So, have they amputated his leg yet?

 

[THE HCP]

Fo shizzle my niggles!

 

[BBert]

Hey H to the C to the P, I think you'd better fly over to London and assess this Freeland situation first hand. I'll guard the chicken coop while you're gone.

I'm just waiting for Jaynes/Haynes to turn this thread into a "Blazer fans are racists" article on CSNW.
