LaMarcus Aldridge (concussion) is probable for tonight's game at Milwaukee. Nicolas Batum (sprained left ankle) is questionable and is a game-time decision.
Update (11:58AM): Via Quick...
Aldridge: 'I will play' against Milwaukee; Batum still out.

Hope LMA gets back as a starter
Maybe just 20 minutes though. Channing acquitted himself pretty well in Cleveland, and with Oden we have another post body.
I’d rather see Nic rest up. Rookies always struggle at this point in the season, so having him take a breather and get back to 100% might be the best idea anyways.
If he is good to go ...
He is good to go with his regular minutes. What, his head injury won’t come back if he plays less minutes?
Please...
Rest yourself Nic! We won’t need you tonight (hopefully) but we will need you in the playoffs and that means being healthy and ready to play. Just get feeling good again.

This is a very dangerous team at home
and they are especially dangerous at small forward.
If Nic is able to go, it would be foolish to rest him. Young guys heal quickly.
When I rule the world, everyone will know how to use Excel.
Hopefully they are both back for very limited minutes
I worry about LMA though. Sounded serious.

I wouldn't mind if LMA didn't play tonight
Win or lose. I know a loss would really hurt, but I’d rather LMA not set himself back further.
I have to presume these guys are taking every available caution though. Concussions normally aren’t taken lightly in sports anymore, not like they used to be…

That was fast!
I see the injury update, first thing on the page. Click on the comments, then the article reloads w/ an update.
As someone who relates to Mr. Slowski, I’m feeling very disturbed right now.
"I don’t have the first clue who he is talking about, because all I worry about is Jerome." – Jerome James, on comments by coach Nate McMillan about Seattle SuperSonics players being selfish.
Either way
Frye looked great playing the 4. I believe his first action at the 4 since the beginning of the season.
Frye seems to play better when he knows he's not about to get yanked
When Joel went down late last year, Frye stepped up his game big time.
and when aldridge went down during the streak for 5 games
frye helped too
"There are a few teams you have to watch out for in the fourth quarter."
"Yeah, but Portland definitely is not one of them."
-New Orleans Hornets broadcasters at the end of the third quarter with the Hornets leading 74-59. Portland later ends up winning 97-89.
"They don't mind him shooting that shot at all. Rudy Fernandez is not that great of a 3pt shooter."
-New Orleans Hornets broadcasters right after a Rudy Fernandez missed 3pter. Rudy Fernandez finished the game with three 3pters on six attempts.

FRYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Frye-lock and I'm on top rock you like a cop
If we don't win here...
The whole season is a bust. We should blow the team up this off-season and start rebuilding
We went like this, he went like that. I say to Hollywood: Where'd he go? Hollywood says: where'd who go?
fire kp too
underwhelming bust of a gm should have gotten us vc – hed have beat the bucs

Is it too early to call the season injury-prone?

How many games have been "the biggest game of the season"?
Seriously though… they just keep getting bigger and bigger it is gonna get intense.
Its probably better for Nic to rest up.
I know young guys heal quickly, but a sprain is sprain and it just needs time. Also, I think LMA will start, but play less minutes than he usually does.
I Blazersedge daily, nightly and ever so rightly.
