I don't hate the Blazers. I just can't stand it when players don't play through injuries. I hate it when players on Dallas like Erick Dampier sit out 1 month with a cut finger or Caron Butler out 1 week with a cold.

Brandon has been playing through injuries the entire year so we would make the playoffs.

It's a good thing Roy played through those injuries. I will say though that Portland has some terrible luck when it comes to injuries. Oden then Przybilla. That was crazy. Portland needs to put their players in bubbles.

You cannot play through every injury.

I'm so proud of the Blazers for showing such grit this season. That said, without Brandon Roy, we're facing a very steep hill if we want to win the series. If we had Brandon healthy, I would have given Portland a pretty good chance of pulling it off. Without him, I don't see it happening. Phoenix in 5 or 6. Nonetheless, I won't be shocked if Portland wins, given that they've arguably played their best basketball with their backs against the wall.

Phoenix Suns should go to the D-League if they lose to the Blazers without Roy, Przybilla, and Oden.

Very true. Sarver is a complete tightass. He must have had Donald Sterling teach him economics and finance in college.

Amare and Nash are going to do whatever they want this series. Don't sleep on the Suns, they are getting hot at the right time.

Who guards Amare? LMA or Camby?

Camby, definitely. Frye is even softer than LaMarcus so LMA will take him.

Depends... when Collins or Amundson are in probably LA and when Frye is in most likely Camby. Both are quick and long so it really doesnt matter, they're pretty interchangable. Knowing Nate LA will guard Nash or something.

Camby would do better in the P&R imo

Blazers in 6.........if they can out rebound the Suns, Camby and Aldridge have to play well though for it to happen.

They'll likely out rebound the Suns but will still lose.

This series is an unfortunate turn of events.

With Roy out the Blazers are best off pushing the tempo so that Miller/Batum/Camby/Fernandez can play to their full potential, but I doubt their coach does that.

Suns in 5. 6 max.

Maybe, but you've also proven to be an idiot when it comes to basketball, so I don't really trust your judgement. Sorry!

Great idea! Let's play fast-paced basketball against the Suns!

Who will win?
