the person he was defending received the ball on the perimeter and he jumped out at him ever so slightly
reported to be a fractured metatarsal – same thing (i think) as martel’s

He was running out to cover Wallace on the 3 line and when Wallace started to drive his stepped awkwardly and it broke. He didn’t have any contact with anyone, it was just a freak injury.

really bad timing for Travis
if he’s going to be out all year like Martell was, that’s going to reall affect the kind of FA offers he gets, next July.
Not much trade flexibility for KP, now. Webster needs to step it up, he looks lost.
And Daunte Cunningham should be getting more run
When reached 40 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!
Yeah, this may ultimately cost Travis Outlaw a lot of cash. I really pity him from that perspective.
For everyone’s sake, Outlaw should’ve been dealt to a downtrodden team like the New Jersey Nets this past summer; that’d’ve given him an opportunity to boost his stats heading into free agency. In turn, the Portland Trail Blazers could’ve swung a deal for a banger 4/5 to provide frontline depth. Oh well, both Outlaw and the Trail Blazers are now in precarious positions.

so bascially we just lost Outlaw for the season
Which means we cant trade him…. we wont resign him… so we loose a quality sixth man for nothing.
Trade for Luis Amundson!!Do it KP!!
yeah. not good news.

we wont resign him
I think the odds that he’ll be resigned by Portland just went up. Trout won’t get that “out of this world” money that he was expecting, now. His “best” offer might be similar to what the Blazers gave Webster last fall, and Travis would be smart to take it, next July
When reached 40 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!
yep, would agree the odds went up
I would guess Travis will want to sign a shorter deal – 1 or 2 years, then hope to prove his health and get a raise.
How did you guys win that?
"We scored enough points. We scored 107, they scored 105.
-Nate McMillan Postgame, 3/4/2009
I hope that isn't the case.
If Travis Outlaw is out for the season, then I hope this is it for him in Portland.
I’m sorry to be harsh here, but Outlaw just isn’t a long-term answer at the backup 3 or 4 on a potential championship contender. I hope the best for Outlaw’s career and, well, that shouldn’t continue to be in the Rose City. For Outlaw, he belongs on a bad team that’ll allow him to start, play his me-first brand of offense, show little court sense on defense, and overpay him to do all of that junk.
Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.
Sincerely,
AK1984
oh, I agree
but if you look at it from KP’s perspective, why should he deal Travis when his value is low? Like doug said, it’s in Outlaw’s (and the Blazer’s) best interest to sign a short-term deal this summer and then “try again” to build up his value as an NBA commodity after he’s healthy. That way, Trout will eventually get his big “payday” and KP can try to get full value for the Blazer’s 6+ year investment
As much as I’d like to see a better alternative than Travis backing up LMA, I still don’t want him to leave KP holding an empty bag, in July. This is not a case of addition by subtraction, everyone “loses” if Trout doesn’t bounce back from this setback
When reached 40 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!

Funny how injury prone can suddenly turn
I would have sworn on Prince, and now he has a ruptured disc. Travis was also very healthy all the time.
If Paul Allen overrode KP's wish to sign Ime in order to keep Mills
Then presumably Allen will reconsider such a move in the future.
yeah, good point
maybe they can trade Mills for Ime, now…as if

Can't watch exiled in Seattle...
Oden with 2 pts and 3 blocks in 5 minutes? With those numbers he can’t have been playing that poorly… please tell me it wasn’t Nate’s 1 foul per quarter rule that led to Greg getting only FIVE minutes in the first half… that is simply indefensible and inexcusable. So frustrating.
it makes sense if he plays like 19 min in the second and ends the game with 5 fouls right...
just chill :)
The Faith don't panic, the faith freaks out, burns out farms, and torchs small villages in the name of The Faith.
I know : )
I don’t think the rule itself is that bad—might help get greg more focused on not fouling—but 5 minutes is pretty extreme because of 2 fouls, especially if he had 3 blocks in those 5 minutes… gotta be SOMEWHAT flexible…

What’s the deal with the southern teams?
It seems like the Hawks, Griz, Bobcats and the Heat can’t fill their stadiums regardless of record.
I don't know how they make money
It seems the same in March.
Wow. They beat someone other than the Ivy Leaguers or Colgate.
I just went there for grad school so I don’t have as strong of an allegiance as you.
Just got off the phone with a friend who met Martell Webster.
So it was apparently at Century movie theater at Cedar Hill Crossing. Haha, he couldn’t tell if it was really him since he was shocked and all, but he and his friends talked to him. Martell was really nice and didn’t seem bothered at all spending a good five minutes signing autographs and talking to em. Nice guy!

Nate has a secret plan
to keep the team angry at playing so badly against weak teams that they will destroy the hawks. The only way he can do that is keeping oden out as long as possible
Portland could coast along with their superior talent and stay right with us. Now that Portland woke up, the hammer cometh down.

but I am getting frustrated at his handling of GO. Let the man foul out. So what? Or maybe he won’t and he’ll actually change this game.

Nate makes so many mistakes that whole world would not fit them.
And Oden, once again, is a rookie, so non-stop fast break basketball is like fast-forwarding a song while he's trying to learn the lyrics.
In general I think he's a good coach
but I hate it when we don’t have Joel or Greg in. LMA doesn’t rebound and we have bad wing D
Your confusing thesis has captured my attention. Tell me more.

Yeah he is "good"
But if he wont become great then…..

Nate what the hell?
Took Joel out Bobs offensive reb.

Nice rebound by Andre.
Dumb timeout by Nate.

Atlanta beat NO by 23 today.
If Portland wins at ATL, that will be the first impressive win of the year. Looks unlikely right now.
Yeah, Atlanta's tall, athletic wings will run roughshod over Portland's three-guard lineup.

Gotta give the Bobcats their due. They played good defense. Very active and annoying.
Larry Brown is a surly, impatient bastard, but he sure can coach 'em up on defense.

Probably out for the season
This was the reason not to consolidate. We have enough depth to withstand the injuries.
marty was only out with it for 2 months. he came back early, i doubt the trainers will let trout make the same mistake.
trout will be back this season i’d bet.

It’s like he wasn’t even there. But still he played less than 20 minutes. That’s baddddd.

Exactly.
Roy complaining about 3 guard line up cuz he cant guard small forwards. Step up your game Roy and tell Nate to take Blake out so you could move to the 2.
And Oden, once again, is a rookie, so non-stop fast break basketball is like fast-forwarding a song while he's trying to learn the lyrics.
Yeah, Brandon Roy doesn't get it regarding defense.
Nate McMillan has a short leash on guys who aren’t his favorites — such as Greg Oden, which totally sucks for the big guy — yet, on the other hand, he’ll allow the guys who suck up to him (e.g., Brandon Roy) to slack off over and over again without any ramifications.
