Monta out Wednesday

[RR7]

A good sign if it is a must win game Wednesday night, apparently Monta is out, according to John Hollinger.

Monta Ellis out for final game; big relief for Blazers, who couldn't stop him a week ago in Portland.

Got a link? I don't like to see players get hurt, but this would be great news for us.

Never mind.

Should the Warriors bounce back from Sunday’s defeat, they will do it without Monta Ellis. The Warriors guard suffered a Grade 2 concussion when he fell to the floor and hit his head late in Sunday's game. Ellis was released from a Bay Area hospital on Monday morning and he will not play in the team's final two games of the season.

Is it a must win? What if we win we play the Lakers........ we lose we play the Mavs!

I need to look at the replay again. I didn't think the fall was that bad.

 

[RR7]

Yeah, sorry, I quoted the Hollinger tweet, but was not sure how to link it, just kept pulling up my twitter page. Sorry.

When he fell, he landed on his head and then it bounced again off the floor!

Yah, I just watched the replay again. I wasn't looking at his head before. His head looked like a basketball!

We still win the game! If the Blazers are scared of the Lakers and intentionally lose to avoid them in the first round; they deserve to lose whomever else they face. I will never endorse a losing mentality.

You only want Blazers-Lakers matchup so you can attend a Blazers playoff game in Staples. You can't fool us!

At this point, the Blazers just need to win. I think they have a puncher's chance against any of the top 4 teams, so whomever it is, bring 'em on!
