Their nightmare season continues... http://www.columbian.com/news/2010/jan/01/blazers-blake-hospitalized-pneumonia-out-indefinit/

Man, the Blazers are my 2nd favorite team. We have had more than our share of TMac & Yao being out over the last few seasons, but this is getting to be their entire rotation.
Does being a Blazer now count as a "pre-existing condition" for health insurance companies to deny coverage?
This is just God balancing things out after they got all those high draft picks and stole Roy. Either that or Morey getting even. Yup... it's either God or Morey.
It's like Paul Allen is cursed. First, he has the jail blazers. Now he has a team full of players who are high quality both on and off the court - only they can't stay on the court.
Blake's possible replacement is playing in the D-League right now. Game is being streamed. Paddy Mills first game back from a broken foot. So far it's the 2nd quarter and he's got 15 pts, 5 ast, 3 stl (4/4 from 3pt land). http://www.nba.com/dleague/games/boxscore.jsp?gameId=2020900103
Anybody ever heard of that nurse that euthanized the terminally ill patients to speed up their deaths? I wonder if the Trailblazers have somebody similiar working for them in their medical staff. Hmm......
Caught the last 5 minutes and Mills is really controlling the ball well and taking time off of the clock. Just saw him drive to the left, spin to the middle and hit a player in the corner for the open look. He has 35 points, with 12 assists 3 steals and 1 turnover shooting 7/10 from behind the arc.
I don't think I've ever seen a team plagued by so many injuries. Not even Houston. This Blazer team just lost more than half their rotation!
