Dude, losing 19 games in a row is extremely consistent.

And then they went and screwed it up.

I feel bad for Greg Oden. Really, really bad. This is just ridiculous.

I feel bad for that whole team. I mean, their injury situation is so bad the COACH ruptured his Achilles tendon. >_>

Scar · « **Reply #30 on:** December 06, 2009, 05:25:20 PM »

Injuries suck, and Oden was staring to play at a higher level this year too. Oh well, there's always next year for the 3rd year grandfather.

I was under the impression he actually plays during practices, and that's how that happened. He DOES have a championship ring.

Yakumo · « **Reply #32 on:** December 07, 2009, 05:08:30 AM »

Yeah, that's how it happened, but he was playing during practice because they were already shorthanded because of the other injuries. At least that's how it was reported in the stories I was reading.

So, how many players can you have on IR before the NBA just excuses you from the season? At what point does the Commissioner say, "Okay, guys, you've made your point. Go home and get some rest."

Why can't they be called the Washington Bullets anymore? This would make so much more sense.

So I watched the Thunder in person two nights ago. Westbrook played pathetically bad aside from the crazy number of assists; he really benefits in being able to throw the ball and KD catches it. KD is as good as advertised. Damn. Their biggest problem from my view is that, aside from KD, they seem to struggle with rebounds. I'm not sure how many offensive rebounds Utah had but it was the primary reason they were even in the game. ALSO the free throw shooting it burns. 50%.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #42 on:** January 02, 2010, 07:50:08 PM »

Wow. I just went and checked Portland's injury report because I wasn't aware of how bad it was.

Juwan Howard as the starting center.

Holy Toledo.

The Blazers are down to eight active players right now. Yeah. Rudy Fernandez should be back in the next couple weeks, hopefully.

You never know, they could still pull through. Didn't Golden State win a game with a six-man rotation last year?

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #45 on:** January 03, 2010, 04:16:40 AM »

Oh, they've been winning games, I'm just... god damn it's frustrating.

Oddly enough we beat Golden State with what was effectively a 6 man roster. Shav played just over 1 minute and Jeff played 9 minutes. Oddly enough... it was one of the most fun games I've been to all year. Random fact for that game. Portland ran a 9 man rotation in game 1 of the season. Two of those players saw action that game.

Some observations, predictions, and all around random junk.

-The East looked to even the playing field last year. This year it's back to assing it up. The 11th place team in the West would be 6th in the East. Atlanta considered making them look like a new and improved 4 team conference, but nope... it's still 3 good teams, 2 mediocre teams, and a lot of shitastic teams.

-The 2-7 teams in the West are all on a 1 game losing streak. Considering they win between .588 and .676 of their games that is pretty weird. (This also includes none of the 6 playing each other.)

-Lebron is the clear MVP of the league. Kobe is putting up career numbers (impressive this late in a career) and he is still simply not as good as Lebron. Unfortunately for King James. Artest/Odom/Gasol and maybe Bynum are ALL better than anyone Lebron has on his team. (LOL Mo Williams padding stats by catching and shooting 3s from Lebron all game.) People can call Lebron names for leaving Cleveland if they want, but the team has seriously not done shit to help him. (Hey... here's Shaq! Oooh... it's 2009 not 1999.)

-Tyreke Evans is a fucking stud. I am sorry for ever doubting you. Once he learns to shoot a little better... damn.

-I now believe in God. Random chance cannot explain Portland's run of injuries as of late. Pissing off the bigman is the only logical reason.

-Bayless is a dick... possibly. A buddy of mine heard him talking shit about Brandon Roy while in Portland the other day. Either A. He heard it out of context or B. Bayless is a cocky prick who doesn't realize how damn good Roy is. (He is a cocky prick either way.)

-Lakers should run away with another NBA title. Sad times.

-I have been banned on 6 of the 7 SBN forums I've gone to. Oddly enough, I have not sworn or called any names at all. People just don't like blunt truths.

Gilbert Arenas suspended for bringing multiple (unloaded) guns into the locker room.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #48 on:** January 08, 2010, 03:42:18 AM »

On the plus side for Portland's woes, I was able to snap Martell Webster up out of Free Agency in an important fantasy league last week. >_>

Steve Blake is coming back this week, and El Guapo and Batum should be back next week.
