The results of a magnetic resonance imaging performed on Roy's injured groin are in and they are positive: The All-Star guard has a strain, not a tear, and likely will do some running later in the week to gauge his progress and determine when -- and if -- he might return this season.

"He's listed as day-to-day, so that's good news," McMillan said. "Basically, when he feels good enough to start running and moving around and trying to get back to the floor, we'll know more. I don't expect (him) to do anything tomorrow ... but we'll see if he can do some running in our two (off) days and that will give us a better idea."

--I like the hustle in general so far
--This type of offensive game is not sustainable for us though.  We can't win shooting only threes.
--Channing Frye...ouch.
--Travis is playing pretty decently.

--Dave

GOD.

ooh, Serge!

That's great but this is not good.

Prove me wrong, kids.  Prove me wrong.
                    --Principal Seymour Skinner

--Dave

Not sure Rudy's pending arrival and probable stationing with the white unit
is reason to keep Sergio, and make him that unit's point guard.

Yucko.

Conclusion: Sergio listens to ME!

He'd be very excellent for Golden State.

When will Nate learn?

50-50 at the break.  Could be worse.

--Dave

Not a bad line, actually.

Go Surge!

I hope Coach makes it to the end.

This has many a great contest.

GO BLAZERS!

"The Team with Caricature!"

So L.A. isn't gonna want to backslide against the few competitors in action to-night.

Well, L[xxx]rs--we can't always get what we want. That's just tough woogums.

I'm wondering how you can body a guy in midair and not have a foul called.

Rice: "And they're the same shots, they're open."

Is it just the colors?

Is it the way the refs ask for a knee pillow when the game starts?

Is it the fumes wafting from Big Chief Hippie?

Any other theories?

break for Blazers.

I can't believe Jack missed that easy shot.

The Lakers are completely in his head.

Eeyuckoramatude.

"Dear Mr. Luftman:--

You are dreamy and soooooo smoooooooth!!!"

Anybody have any other teams you just can't treat objectively?

Now another athletic move by Travis.

"...and while I realize that this might sound unusual..........."

Great to see the Blazers fight but then Kobe slammed the door.

The Lakers had absolutely no business getting him.  Dang Grizzlies.

The Seattle and Charlotte games are killing me right now.  Those are going to cost us a .500 record in all probability.
