Word on street..........they'll go tonight!
 
Are you saying that Deng and Kirk might play?

Or that the Blazers might trade for them?

Clearly it's the former, although the latter would be more exciting :)

I hope Dang (the 2008 Luol) plays and not Deng (the 2006-07 Luol).
 
kirk is quoted on sunday as saying thurs the earliest

and as far as deng, who knows?

the bulls are much deeper then most think. with that said...gooden always plays well against us for some reason.
this game will prob be the 1 loss on this trip. bulls lost to the thunder, and will wanna step up at home. also deng and possibly kirk are coming back. this will be very tough for us to pull out. this has win for bulls written all over it.

Funny how I asked myself the same question instantly. Man I'd love to have those two guys on the team, particularly Deng.

Jeez, there are so many decent young small forwards in this league, it seems like Pritchard could get his hands on one of them.
 
Odd's are against the Blazers tonight according to a city built on knowing odds.

I don't think it matters either way if they play. Portland isn't playing well despite beating a slumping Boston team and a Detroit team that missesd a shot in the last seconds. Without those two wins our record lately is God awful.
 
and maybe oden slams a block so hard it hits Mike and Mike in da grill!!
 
I'd rather it hit the over-hyped "DEEEEEEEEEEEEETROIT BASKETBALL!" guy. But that's just me.

I guess I'll have to wait for the Finals for that to happen. Or next year.

How about the Golden State game? After that awful first quarter they played pretty good team ball. Four quarters of that effort will get us a win tonight.

Four quarters of that effort (32.3 ppq) will have us at 129 points. (Arithmetic, yay!) I submit we'll win most games if our effort gets us 32 ppq.

Yet we pulled those wins out. Something a lot of teams can't say they could do without their best player.

Detroit didn't have two starters either.


Don't get me wrong they were nice wins, but don't make them out as anything more than winning against a bad team at home, and winning at the buzzer against a team without two of their better players.

I get that we didn't have Roy.
 
Kirk wants to play so he can try to impress KP and Nate so we'll trade for him. :)

We are 6-4 over our last 10 games.PS we were down 2 starters also Roy as you stated and Webster would have been our starter this year if he was not hurt.

You mean the same Detroit team that brought a 7 game winning streak to the Rose Garden. And the Detroit roster without two of their better players was the same roster that played at Denver next, and beat them.

They didn't have their starters when they beat Denver either.
 
For Detroit, Wallace was a blow, but imo, they are better without Rip right now. They didn't start playing well until he got hurt.
 
I think that Hinrich has his fans in the Portland fanbase, and that won't change.

Can't form an opinion after 1 game, specially a game they were coming back from injuries and incredibly rusty. But I actually liked what I saw from Kirk.
