Lamarcus at the hospital

for evaluation (concussion) he is Doubtful vs CLE. o yeah Batum is questionable for tomorrows game

Well, if there ever was a game that you could chalk up for a loss with much certainty, it's Cleveland on the road. If you had to lose a couple of starters for (hopefully) a game, this would be the one.

 

[PapaG]

Time for Frye to step up big. Having Oden back makes this a bit less of an issue for just one game.

 

[BlazersBlood]

Wow, what the fuck happened in the game? I totally missed the feed and only saw the box score and saw that we won. So Lamarcus and Batum got hurt? WTF!!!!!

 

[julius]

Perfect game to have on national TV.

Lamarcus aldridge

Get'r done!

back to shoot more airballs on national tv?

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

at least we won't need to listen to those lame Cleavland announcers

 

[Pinwheel1]

Well on the positive side.......OK there is nothing positive. Travis needs to play both SF and PF and not get into foul trouble against king james. LOL
Cleveland isl bound to come out over confident, and we can come out with no pressure as no one will expect us to stay close. Nate will have to go to a 3 guard lineup at times and try to press them. Saturday's game is more important. We were going to lose this one anyways.

Lamarcus aldridge

cool. I personally like Bill Stricker.

 

[MAS RipCity]

As long as both will be back Saturday..I'm good

 

[RoyToy]

We might as well create the prediction thread for the Milwaukie game right now.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

this stupid natasha richardson brain thing is in my mind..hopefully LMA is fine.

Aldridge went into Foster's chest on a drive and hit his temple on JF's bony shoulder. He crumpled into a heap, but it really didn't look that bad to me.

Batum turned his ankle coming down from contesting a shot. Again (to me) it didn't seem like it went over an inordinate amount and it shouldn't be that serious... we'll see on both accounts soon enough

STOMP

 

[Pinwheel1]

He did look fine when he was joking with McRoberts after the game.

 

[RoyToy]

FWIW Quick has his projected starters up and Aldridge is in while Outlaw replaces Batum.

 

[HailBlazers]

LMA deserves some rest... Besides the chances of us winning the game are slim to none anyhow

 

[RoyToy]

edit - oops

That'd be interesting.. to start Travis at PF? But that would seriously screw up our bench big time.

 

[Tince]

If there was a team we could start Joel and Greg against, it's Cleveland....

 

[Nikolokolus]

Give Nic and LMA their rest and take the mulligan.

Eh, make it work. Play Bayless at the 2, Rudy and Roy at the 3 some to compensate

Blake/Roy/Batum/Outlaw/Pryz
Sergio/Bayless/Rudy/Frye/Oden

If Batum can't go, then have a strict 3-man rotation at SG/SF of Roy/Rudy/Bayless, which would work for a game. The numbers are easily there. Might make some things funky, but minutes will make it work.

 

[THE HCP]

We should sit BRoy and Greg too!

 

[Rodolfo]

Some of you guys are acting like we have ZERO chance to win tomorrow. Show a little fucking faith in your team goddamit.

Ummm, exactly! Geez, guys. We want to be healthy when we play a great team like Cleveland so that we can beat them. Without LMA though, I'm very interested to see how Oden may step up with his offense.

No shit! Didn't we beat Boston without Brandon Roy? Nobody gave the Blazers a chance in that one, either.

Yup, Cleveland normally starts two centers with Big Z and Big Ben, but with Wallace out, they go with Big Z and Sideshow Bob.

So, put Joel on Z and Oden on Varejao. If nothing else, we should always have someone in the paint to challenge Lebron when he drives to the basket - well, at least until Oden gets in foul trouble.
