    According to my experience on player injury:

    Curry is likely to return between

    5 weeks injury: April 28 (1st round game 7?)

    6 weeks injury: May 4 (2nd round Game 2)

    If you want a good laugh and some odd satisfaction and you have roughly 2 hours to spare listening to podcasts.

    I urge you to look up locked on blazers. Start a couple back and listen to the last 3.

    The first one is a post game 1 loss discussion. A bit disappointed but still confident. “They will make shots”

    The second one is a game 2 preview. They talk about a bunch of teams and talk a bunch of smack. Specifically about the rockets and how they think they can lose some games this series and even suggested losing this series. Laugh at cp3 and call it a classic cp3 performance.

    The third one....


    The third one lol. It’s like a funeral viewing. Completely somber. Completely depressed. And just hilarious

    Last night's game was alot of fun...but I found myself not being star struck sitting so close to the players. Maybe it's age...or maybe it's because how accessible these guys are on social media...the aura around them was not really there. They're still amazingly talented and fun to watch.

    Pretty funny how some of you guys crack on the Portland fans and their blatant homerism. Houston should ever be so lucky to have as rabid fans as Portland has. The Moda Center was ridiculously loud...way louder than any Rockets game I ever attended (and that included a couple of early round playoff games back in 95).

    One thing that Houston has over Portland...the jet set in the rich folk sections. Other than Paul Allen, the upper tax brackets sitting around the floor was about as unimpressive as a high school game crowd in rural West Texas.

    Will be pretty sad if Portland can't get their act together. When they are playing cohesively and shots are falling, they are an offensive showcase. Hopefully they can at least make this a series instead of a sweep.

    @boomboom no offense if some of us rockets fans are taking the Blazer's losses too happily. Dame is still fresh in our minds even though only some of the players from that series is still with the team. And his MVP chant is annoying and completely undeserving.
    CJ on the other hand just talks too much without having done not even nearly enough.

    If New Orleans wins tonight... It's a wrap. No way Blazers coming back from 3-0.

    How awesome would it be for the Pelicans to wrap up their series before the Warriors wrap up theirs?

    I am rooting hard for New Orleans. Imagine if they somehow go up 3-0 and then eventually sweep the Blazers. If Dame doesn't show up tonight...

    Jrue has been his father so far in this series

    Man, the only way the Blazers have a chance is an injury to Davis. Blazers look absolutely out matched.. Pels already have AD, who is unguardable, now it looks like Mirotic can get anything he wants. Wow.

    Blazers are relying on Zach Collins, a rookie, for points.. uh oh.

    Portland is done.

    My goodness.. Lilliard is working so hard for everything. It's shocking the desperation in his dribbles. Where was this Pels team in the regular season?

    Davis must hold some sort of record for number of times he had to go to the locker room mid game because he tweaked or injured something.

    Playoff Mirotic, Playoff Rondo, basically everyone on the pelicans went playoff mode except AD, he's a constant.

    I'm really amazed how well the pelicans are playing. Who is surrounding Davis?
