Roy likely out for playoffs

[oh crap]

diagnosed with a torn meniscus per NBA coast to coast, out 4-6 weeks. looks like the Blazers won't be making much noise.

[DPG21920]

I wonder if teams are going to try and position themselves to play Portland?

[Kai]

Wow.

[mogrovejo]

Roy will need surgery but very probably will try to play the playoffs unless it's some massive tear, the knee doesn't react well at all or he's a major pussy. Already explained this in another thread.

Portland's Brandon Roy could miss the playoffs with a slight meniscus tear in his right knee.


Roy's playoff status uncertain


Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Portland Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy has a torn meniscus in his right knee and his status for the playoffs is uncertain.

Roy will miss Monday night's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Wednesday's regular season finale against Golden State.

He will require surgery and will be out from four to six weeks. But he said he may try to play with the injury in the playoffs because doctors told him it cannot get worse.

Roy is the Blazers' leading scorer with 21.8 points per game. He injured his knee on Sunday when the Blazers played at the Lakers.

The Blazers have clinched a spot in the playoffs, but their opponent for the first round has yet to be determined.

wtf man....

[Kai]

Sucks all these injuries didn't happen at the beginning of the season so they could get a good lottery pick. Now they will get swept in the playoffs with nothing to show for it.

[gaKNOW!blee]

:lmao Tlong

[lurker]

Please let the Mavericks get the Blazers.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I'm sure Kobe and Fish REALLY wish they hit their free throws.

[lil_penny]

Martell, rudy and bayless better play there hearts out damnit!

If Karma is a bitch, then the Lakers would all be hurting. Laker fan on this board talks more trash than anyone.

[Lars]

The Blazers are turning into the Rockets.

[Findog]

My understanding is that the Zombies get locked into the 8 seed with a loss tonight at Portland. But if they win, what does that do to Portland?

lol So true. Laker fans are the worst. Though Tlong is probably the biggest trash talker here. lol

[djohn2oo8]

The Blazers are turning into the Rockets.

Well, they did play each other in the playoffs last year, and I'm sure that magic injury dust rubbed off on Portland

[DPG21920]

My understanding is that the Zombies get locked into the 8 seed with a loss tonight at Portland. But if they win, what does that do to Portland?

Pushes them to the 8 seed if the Spurs beat the Mavs.

[djohn2oo8]

lol So true. Laker fans are the worst. Though Tlong is probably the biggest trash talker here. lol

T-Long is officially on suicide watch right now

[BlackSwordsMan]

anyway spurs can play these guys first?

[redzero]

Non-issue

:rollin

[Findog]

Pushes them to the 8 seed if the Spurs beat the Mavs.

Hmm...Guess I have to root for Portland tonight. Mavs should play to beat San Antonio and gain the 2nd seed regardless of who they face. I just hope it's Portland.

[DPG21920]

Mavs should do whatever it takes to play Portland. What is the difference between the second and third seed? Not much. There is a good chance that the 3rd seed will have HCA in the second round.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

My understanding is that the Zombies get locked into the 8 seed with a loss tonight at Portland. But if they win, what does that do to Portland?

It puts Portland in the 8th spot as they'd be one game behind the Spurs. If the Spurs lose to the Mavs, and Portland beats GS tomorrow then the Portland gets 7, OKC 6, and SA 8th if Portland loses tonight.

[BanditHiro]

well it looks like they will be the 8th seed but it doesn't matter since they can beat the lakers without him as demonstrated on Sunday.

[Findog]

Mavs should do whatever it takes to play Portland. What is the difference between the second and third seed? Not much. There is a good chance that the 3rd seed will have HCA in the second round.

Utah plays 11 points better at home than on the road against winning teams, the teams they're going to face in the playoffs. Utah is going to be a bitch to beat in a seven-game series if they have HCA, but I think they're just about hopeless without it. Mavs are not beating Utah in the second round w/o HCA.

[DPG21920]

So you think Utah is going to be the 3rd seed?

[DAF86]

When will it be fair to start calling Roy "injury prone"?

[DJ Mbenga]

lol its too tough to tank your way to the blazers cause you dont know what seeed they will be. they are beating the thunder although its early.
lol is it time to root for the thunder? lol spurs raped the pupy wolves.

[Findog]

So you think Utah is going to be the 3rd seed?

I think Denver loses tomorrow night at Phoenix, while Utah most likely wins out. Which means Dallas has to win out to stay ahead of Utah.

[Findog]

Mavs clinch at least the third seed with a win over the Clip Show tonight. Wonder how it will all shake out. Phoenix, Utah and Denver can't all win out.

[Findog]

When will it be fair to start calling Roy "injury prone"?

Considering that for his career he averages 69 games played per 82, not yet.

[TheChillFactor]

Portland Frailblazers strike again....

[DAF86]

Considering that for his career he averages 69 games played per 82, not yet.

Didn't he get injured in his rookie year too? If that's true he has had the same amount of injries that Manu had but just in 4 years.

[cobbler]

If Karma is a bitch, then the Lakers would all be hurting. Laker fan on this board talks more trash than anyone.

Talking trash is one thing... Laughing at injuries is another. You will never see me doing that. I wish all teams were healthy. Injuries suck.

[cobbler]

Didn't he get injured in his rookie year too? If that's true he has had the same amount of injries that Manu had but just in 4 years.

He didnt play the first 20 games of his rookie year if my memory serves me. He also has had 2 or 3 knee surgeries (one in high school) and it was a discussion at draft time.

You're right. Everything is about Manu.

[DPG21920]

Cobbler, Laker fans besides you laugh at injuries all the time.

[DJ Mbenga]

lol thunder!

[cobbler]

Cobbler, Laker fans besides you laugh at injuries all the time.

No doubt, but the righteous Laker fans such as me counteract their evil deeds! :lol:toast

[Killakobe81]

Tlong frantically trying to turn back time and delete his LOL at Bynum threads.

Karma is one big bitch!

Nice call ...Cobbler you beat me 2 it...

I WARNED him a team with THAT kind of injury history should NOT take joy in players being injured ....but HE WOULD NOT listen ...

KArma bitch Karma

[Killakobe81]

1 more note I ALSO posted in this forum that his old college injuries worried me he only been the league what 4 years and the knees have been flaring up ...

Kobe is having knee issues now but he a 14 year vet ...

The Roy> Kobe = fail ...

[fo'shizzle]

We're motherfucking cursed sons!

[pauls931]

What's with this team and injuries? Do they just hop off the bus and start playing immediately and then go base jumping after games?

[TheManFromAcme]

Man, I wouldn't wish injury on anyone. Just ain't cool.
You can count this Laker fan in that category. (not rooting for injuries)

[Killakobe81]

co-signed.

But he was openly taking pleasure in the Lakers injury woes ... so he deserves this.

Feel bad for the non douche bag Blazer fans ....

[DAF86]

You're right. Everything is about Manu.

I brought Manu up 'cause everybody call him "injury prone", so if having only two serious injuries in 7 years in the NBA (15 as a pro, playing a lot international tournaments also) is beign "injury prone" then Roy must be pretty close to beign one too.

[clambake]

the mavs seem to always get killed by teams with injured starters.
