Lamarcus is playing tonight!! (1 Viewer)

[MickZagger]

He probably read Canzano's rag and this is his way of saying suck on theez nutz.

 

[Natebishop3]

I know zip about thumb injuries. Can he make it worse?

 

[magnifier661]

If he never uses his left hand how did he injure it???

You saw how he injured it right?

I actually think that maybe it! Aldridge really dislikes Clownzano and Quick

 

[Duvalier]

According to Jabari Young....Aldridge will postpone the entire surgery until the end of the season....will play the remainder of the season with the tear

 

[PDXFonz]

He hit it on a guys knee. Freak injury.

Rhetorical question bro. The point is you can't expect him to play as well with only 1 hand. He better not be trying to block shots with his left. I think they should actually tie it behind his back to prevent him from irritating the injury.

 

[kjironman1]

I've worked with worse but then again i'm not trying to catch a basketball.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

My head is spinning...

I need a shot

 

[riverman]

Awesome! This tells me LA is serious about a championship this year!

Slapping the ball out of Cousins' hands.

 

[riverman]

Will he play in the allstar game?

 

[KingSpeed]

Fuck yeah

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Will he play in the allstar game?

Not to say this is the whole reason but getting picked might be part of the reason he also wants to play. If he gets picked he can still bow out and call himself an all-star. I would think he doesn't play.

Gerald Green has 4 fingers on his shooting hand. And you don't block shots with your thumb. You can rebound without a thumb. Think about it.

 

[Scalma]

Slapping the ball out of Cousins' hands.

You don't slap a ball with your thumb. He hit his thumb on cousins knee on the follow thru.

 

[KingSpeed]

Will he play in the allstar game?

If he makes it

 

[rasheedfan2005]

FUCK YES IM NO LONGER DEPRESSED I TAKE BACK MY POSTS FROM THIS MORNING. GO BLAZERS REP THAT RIP CITY. CHAMPIONSHIP MOTHER FUCKERS. MAGS KISS YOUR HOT WIFE FOR ME.

 

[Scalma]

Batum played through a broken finger did he not? That's worse than a thumb since you rely on fingers more.

 

[riverman]

I love this team!

 

[riverman]

60 wins! Ain't no stopping us now!

 

[Scalma]

I've had torn ligaments in my thumb playing football. Still feel it Everytime I catch a ball 10 years later because I never got it taken care of. Doesn't affect me though. Just an annoyance more than anything.

 

[Haakzilla]

Its a ligament tear in his non shooting hand. In the 80's this would be an offseason surgery. Props to Aldridge for standing up like a fucking man!

...precisely, +rep'd!

 

[OneLifeToLive]

I thought this was an April Fools Joke and the I remembered it wasn't April Fools.

Thank god. Great news. But I hope it's not a mistake prolonging this decision. Like deciding not to do it and in two weeks coming to the realization it had to be done. 6 weeks is a long time but there was still some time there to get ready for the playoffs.

Is your whole skit going to be "LMA should have played through this to begin with, its not a big deal". Because that really seems to be all your posting about in this thread.

 

[Scalma]

The are no assurances of how effectively, or how long, Aldridge can play with the injury, but there’s belief in the Portland organization that the long-term risk of this decision is minimal. Aldridge would’ve been required to wear a splint even after returning from surgery, sources told Yahoo Sports, so allowing him to try playing now isn’t believed to hold significantly more consequences.

[Sean.ivity]

I think there taking the approach of..... why not try it out for a game or 2... if it's too painful or effects his game too much, get surgery.... If not then play ball!

 

[julius]

Major props to LaMarcus. Potentially putting his own well being on the line vs the team.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Wow. Fingers crossed that this doesn't backfire

I keep checking the calendar. Yesterday wasn't March 31st, was it?

 

[noknobs]

Wow, I really hope they know what they're doing.

I wanted him as close to 100% in the playoffs so I'm a little nervous about this. But if the medical staff think the risk of making it worse is minimal and he can play like an all-star, sounds good to me.
