Lillard updates

[THE HCP]

I think if he isn't 100%, it isn't worth coming back. He re-injures it, it could carry over into the playoffs.

Honestly it's way out of the focus of the main conversation. The original was about the Blazers being better than the Rockets. That ain't the case this year. Can they beat them? I'm sure at any time on any given night the Blazers can get a win against that team. Unfortunately in a series i would give the edge to Houston this year. But lets keep some positive mention and hope alive. The Blazer vs Houston series that i feel will eventually happen will be very entertaining indeed.

I was only responding to your comment that Houston had control pretty much the whole game. They had much more control last night and was still a whisker away from losing. As for way out of focus of the main conversation, that's pretty much the case of any thread and throughout this one as well.

Is it me, or did it look like he was limping a bit on the sidelines last night?

No i saw it to.
He was definitely favoring that leg. Just no reason at this point to play Lillard IMO

Not really here. You can easily find the conversation. Point and scroll.

Agree. Not worth getting the 3 seed just to lose in the playoffs because Dame is gimpy. Then it just gives the national media more reason to either ignore us or shit on us.

The science these days is saying that ankle injuries actually need to be played through after a short rest, rather than resting for long periods of time. There's pain, but no heightened risk for re-injury. I bet he gets a minutes restriction (24 minutes?), but plays the last three games.

Talk about selective use of the research. What's a long period of time, a couple days, a couple weeks, or a couple months?

The risk of re-injury is very high if the tendons are still stretched and damaged. Once things have stabilized, then it's just a matter of working through the soreness and tightness.

Come on, dude, no need to bust my balls about it. It's literally the truth, and we both know it's relative to the injury.

Thank you Doctor Science. I agree, because you're just repeating what I said.

This is why I trust the team doctors if they clear him, rather than insist on shutting him down for the season anyway.

Im ready for a nap



Huh???????I think they are like 14 games better than us????

King, You know I love you man. Your optimism is unlike anyone else around here and I'm a firm believer that positivity is needed to maintain a high confidence.
With that said, i'm not sure I've ever agreed more with @HCP with the statement below.

If you are serious about having a platform to go public and discuss the Blazers, you should be honest and real, and this simply is not either of those.
I would be really dissappointed to tune in to see you tossing out statements on the air like you do here. We would quickly become thought of as the most off base fan base ever and become a laughing stock among other fanbases.

And I say this with love my friend.... Get real!

Agreeing with @HCP!!!!!

I believe every player in the history of sports on every level has left the arena by transportation.

Someone must have walked some time or another.

What? I have no issues with him even if he has some with me.
