He had been reportedly feeling symptoms for weeks. He's in the hospital for the next two days, and is currently being listed as "out indefinitely".

 

[BlazerBeav]

Of course he is. Can't have a day go by without another Blazer going down.

 

[BasX]

This isn't fair for you guys.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Un fucking believable. Does this mean Mills gets recalled from Idaho before he plays a game? Of course, PG is the one position where we could AFFORD to do without a player - but isn't there a rule that you have to suit up 8 players?

Roy
Miller
Howard
Webster
Pendergraph
Bayless
Cunningham
Randolph

...I guess we do have eight... just. Of which only Roy played significant minutes for the team last year. And Bayless is the only other player who appeared at all in more than a single-digit number of games (unless I'm misremembering Randolph's "contribution").

Another one bites the dust....

Steve Blake out with pneumonia

Re: Another one bites the dust....

More time for Bayless

 

[Rhal]

Randolph hardly played at all with Ruffin getting the garabage minutes of the 12th man over him.

But what is up with this season so far? Is anyone else cringing everytime they see a hard foul or it looks like one of the blazers comes down wrong off a jump? I can't remember a season by anyone that has been so marred by injuries and players missing games.

And miller. Guess that solves the minutes problem when rudys back for awhile if he doesn't come back earlier.

Merge...

Patty has already reported to his D-League "work assignment", so we can recall him today, but it will count toward the three times we can send/recall him.

Also, tangentially, was a coach sent with him to Idaho like we did with Webster?

So much for leaving the curse in 2009, we need Scooby and the gang to get to the bottom of this.

Someone out there must have a collection of Blazer voodoo dolls.

Not gonna find any scooby snacks at the rose garden, all the food there sucks. I wish there were though, finally something tasty there.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

and the hits just keep coming.

 

[ucatchtrout]

Juan Dixon is a free agent.

I'm sure Nate would love to have him back.

 

[illmatic99]

Fucking hell.

STOP ALREADY!!!

If you aren't laughing now, you're probably crying.

Jensen stated that Blake possessed a slightly elevated fever during a recent team health evaluation

There's a sobering thought.

Look, I don't care who did it. I won't even ask. Just put the mummy artifact back. Give the treasure back, and we'll just look the other way.

I was wondering how he got so hot from 3 point range recently . . . he had a fever, that explains it.

Both. It's starting to feel like a movie ... This one I believe:

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the NBA record for most games missed due to injury or illness by a team in one season is? Maybe we can have something to countdown to, to pass the time.

(edit): This person said it was Houston in 2005-06 with 256 games. So far we're sitting at 119, not including remaining games. Interestingly, Juwan Howard was also on that Rockets team, leading the team in games played... as if he benefited from their injuries... so, can we burn the witch?

I think before the next home game, all the blazer fans going to the game need to take their own cursed Blazer items (or their own items period) and create a bonfire in fire belching fountain. Exercise those demons!

Let's bring the Chicago Cubs Billy Goat while we're at it.

well, Joel and Greg will both miss the next 48 games each, so that's 96 more. That'd put us at 215. And Travis will miss games, as will Rudy and Batum still.

Travis probably will miss until mid Feb, lets say 20 more (min, imho). That's 235. Throw in What Rudy and Batum will miss (probably another 20 between the two of them) and the record is ours because of Mills!!

 

[Entity]

Oops, forgot Batum. Make that 153 games.

 

[julius]

well that pretty much puts us over the record!

CELEBRATE BLAZER FANS! THE RECORD IS OURS!!!!
