Too Much Information Injury Updates

Verbatim from the Blazers...

Brandon Roy (torn tendon right little finger); Nicolas Batum (hyper extended right knee); and Travis Outlaw (sore hip and lower back/buttocks contusion) are all probable tonight. 

Do not google image search "buttocks contusion." Even with safe search on.  Trust me.

KP said on Courtside last night

that Brandon’s finger will be in a splint for 6 WEEKS!

Does that concern anyone? It does me.

yeah me too… let’s give him 2 games with it on to see how he plays with it before we get too worried though… what really worries me is the potential for re-injury given how hard he takes the ball…

wonder what effect if any it has on our reliance on the 1 4 down the stretch… will be very interesting to track that…

And since everyone knows

he’s going left anyway, and can’t do anything about it, it doesn’t matter at all.

yea especially considering

I had my thumb jammed while playing basketball and it hurt like a mutha freak about 5 days ago and it is almost fully healed now. 6 weeks must had been much more severe but idk if pinkies are different case.

If Kobe can play 2 seasons with a broken finger

Brandon could go SIX seasons.

Six weeks is nuttin’, honey.

Nic Hyperextended his knee? Isn't that like, really serious?

So clearly Nic went Sledding … Brandon will play I have no doubt. And Travis…. well I wasn’t planning on him being here.

Crap 4 in a row is a negative BIG NEGATIVE… LMA Joel O.D.E.N… STEP YOUR GAME UP!

I had a feeling you'd get your panties in a wad if and when you read that...

It can be bad if major. It’s probably just sore, though.

FYI

Victoria Secret is having 5 panties for 25 dollar sale going on right now. My buddy picked up some for his wife when I was shopping at Washington Square the other day. He also asked the clerk if they had any that would fit me. Good times.

Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

FYI- they always have panties for a deal like that...

I think

having your panties in a wad could lead to a buttocks contusion if you fall on the wad. So watch out.

I think playing SF for the Blazers is bad for your health

The five guys who have played the most small forward minutes for the Blazers in the last couple years are all injured.

James Jones – OUT
Webster – OUT
Outlaw – Day-to-day
Batum – Day-to-day
Roy – Day-to-day

Warning!

Playing small forward for the Portland Trail Blazers may be as dangerous as being the drummer for Spinal Tap.

by DonkeyShins on Dec 17, 2008 7:55 AM PST up reply actions  

Yikes

So with Martell down already, that’s 3 more guys who see varying levels of time at the 3 with injuries. The Blazers are deep, but let’s not push it…

by dukedee on Dec 16, 2008 2:39 PM PST reply actions  

a good test

is to see if the team can win w/out roy boy. what was the balzers records last year w/out him? of the top of your blazer-hat-adorned head anyone?

by appel82 on Dec 16, 2008 2:41 PM PST reply actions  

Good thing Roy....

…likes to use his left hand around the basket. The pinkie will probably throw off his jumper but I think he’ll get used to it. I think he should just go Ronnie Lott and cut it off!

I now go by RMC Brannon. That's right Rudy Man Crush!

Imagine how clutch Roy would be

if he had a chainsaw for a hand, though.

No blood no foul, right?

He might get more offensive fouls called on him…

I think they should announce NBA injuries like they do in

the National Football League. Roy is out with a finger, Batum with a knee, and Travis is out with a butt.

Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

I don’t realize until too late that it was actually a guy’s butt! I think they call that “buttocks confusion.”

I got my own injury to report....

I laughed so hard as “Bush dodges Shoe” last night that I pulled muscles in my abdomen…I am recovering nicely but must refrain from watching it again till further notice

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
