More bad luck for the Blazers.

aka why bother bringing him back before the playoffs

I watched that game and refs let a lot of things go. Warriors kept setting illegal screens and popping guys on borderline dirty plays.

On the bright side, im impressed with CJ McCollum continuing to play well. He'll help soften the loss of Afflalo

Another shooting guard down for Portland. I'm curious as to who would step their game up come playoffs time in this team

He's expected to be out 1-2 weeks. Not at all that bad. He thought he tore something for sure. Should be back for playoffs, even if its later in the first round.

This season was a write-off anyway. Only way we make the second round is if we draw Houston again and play over our heads. Afflalo's been playing like shit anyway - might as well get McCollum some experience.

Yeah, it would be great to have the whole roster back healthier next year, with younger guys like Meyers and CJ more productive off the bench.
