Blazers cant catch a break... 

Post#1 » by Swift924 » Wed Apr 11, 2012 6:36 pm

damm


Blazers interim GM Chad Buchanan said that LaMarcus Aldridge's right hip MRI results showed an "abnormality" and that surgery has not been ruled out.
This doesn't sound good at all and Aldridge is expected to undergo further evaluation and consultation over the next day or two to determine a course of action on the injury. It sounds like LMA is a pretty good candidate to be shut down for the season. He remains out indefinitely. J.J. Hickson will continue to start in his place and has been red-hot over the last two games (22.0 ppg and 11.0 rpg).

That's unfortunate and all, but they're still in pretty good shape for the summer, if the Nets can't crack the top 4. (or 3?)

A hip abnormality sounds like something he's had all his life. Gerald Henderson had a bone spur or something that was operated on last summer, and he's fine now.

Can't catch a BREAK
HA
I'm sorry

I think this injury has more to do with the shortened season killing off everyone then something unlucky
