Official roster update

[BlazerBeav]

If Kaman can't go either, we should suit up Tone.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

You have to think they put Kaman out there even if he isn't 100% healthy as otherwise we have basically no depth.

 

[magnifier661]

This is what I worried about with Kaman. We can't use him this heavily or he will get injured too! I think Olshey needs to sign Jermaine Oneal

Not for this reason, JO needs limited minutes not disaster control.

I think we will be fine and that it will be a great opportunity for MEYERS and some of the other players to get minutes. The thing is, how often have we seen players fill in for injuries only to get benched and not play again (think Crabbe for Batum earlier).

 

[Natebishop3]

Start the people's champ at center!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

JO would have to be on a tighter minutes restriction then even Kaman.

 

[riverman]

Small ball time! TRob is going to be like having Hickson at the 5 size wise. It's an opportunity for him but I expect to see a lot of DWright mixed in.

Well yeah, but it's not only disaster control. Jerm is a vet that can score in the post, rebound and defend; even if it's just for 10 minutes a game. It will be a solid 10 minutes, then be a plus for the playoffs

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Even if Crabbe doesn't play, we have players to fill the spots without Batum and Kaman. Claver, Leonard, and Robinson should be able to combine for 85 minutes at the 4/5, with Dorell sucking up any remaining minutes as a small/ball 4.

I'd start Dame/Thrill/Wes/Nards/Claver bringing Blake/CJ/Dorell/TRob off the bench. I'd basically give Nards the green light on offense, and I'd make Barton defend Wall, telling him that his primary responsibility is to stick to him like glue and expend all his energy on the defensive end, being as annoying as possible.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

If Kaman can't go either, we should suit up Tone.

and Rice.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I think it will be really hard for the Blazers to get HCA for the playoffs now. The west is tough and with everyone getting injured the Blazers will slide down to 6 or 7th seed soon.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I wouldn't be thrilled but I would be fine with 6th or 7th. Just no 8th or out please!

 

[blue32]

It didn't list Crabbe. So either his injury is under wraps or hes in the doghouse.

I find it hard to believe he's in the dog house. He's all about team and seems like a pretty lax guy. Now if you were talking about T Rob, I could possibly see that happening.

So I suspect it's either a trade or he is truly injured

 

[blue9]

I'd basically give Nards the green light on offense...

I was very disappointed that he wasn't heavily featured in the offense last night. #stottsfail

 

[BlazerWookee]

and Rice.

Huh? Whahappen?

 

[Scalma]

I've noticed the guards ignore him at the top of the key too much. He's a weapon, feel free to pass him the rock!

I feel like someone shit in my breakfast and im so hungry that im eating it.
