im only sad/mad

b/c it reminded me of the Roy post a couple of weeks ago.

Ahhh it's okay

I know Frye has been working hard and it sucks he’ll be hurt at first and have to rehab, but lookie dis way: Trout gets to play more PF like we all know he was going to end up doing anyways, Martell gets good minutes along with the new fellows, and we can see if Ike Diogu is worth anything.

Maybe it sends Frye’s season into a tailspin, but he’ll get some time to show what he can do and he shouldn’t be out too long. We also know what Frye is about, while Diogu is a mystery man…

Oh well, it happened for a reason and hopefully this experience will be illuminating for player and fan alike.

Actually Diogu might be the biggest beneficiary

Aldridge said. "We feel like we can beat any team. We feel like we can beat the Spurs, Suns, Lakers, Mavericks, whoever any night right now, and we'll still be here when those teams get old and their guys retire. We're going to be here for a long time."

6 weeks from now

it will still preseason. Um, it’s preseason. There won’t be any afteraffects from a bone spur removal barring infection. Again, let me reiterate. Preseason.

Phew

I was freaking out and trying to calculate the time....

I’m a big Channing Frye fan, I think he’s a solid player.

We're just getting all of our injuries out of the way now

Now, I think we’ll be good for 3 or 4 years at least.

Devil's Advocate or just argumentative?

I hope you're right.

I think they just want to take care of these things before the grind of the season begins. I’d rather have these players miss a couple games in the beginning of the season than in the midst of our playoff run at the end of the season.

now I know what Ike Diogu

has been up to. Sabotaging the competition. I bet next week he starts telling us how much he likes Portland on his brand new blog. It all sounds a little to “Talented Mr Ripley” to me.

For the record I own that movie, but have never watched it.

why not just dump to whole team at the hospital

and get warehouse pricing? You know, get Raef some bionic knees and Sergi and Handle while your at it…

Dunking on your head.

2485649 seconds until first preseason game!

Wait that’s off-topic, sorry-Channing get well soon!!

And once again it's great we have a deep team that can compensate (for stretches)

Roy is hurt during pre-season? Play more Rudy.
Frye will be hurt for a couple of games? Play more Diogu, Outlaw,…

This might be a good moment to remember people Ike can (at least could, he also returns from a few injuries) play pretty smooth for a big man and has some moves to add to his physical back to the basket game:
