The team just announced that Blaze the Trail Cat will be out 8 to 10 weeks with a torn tail ligaments.

That would actually be welcome to have Blaze out. I'm not a fan.

Actually, Blaze is going to have to suit up and play some games.

It is high time we suit up Bojack and get him in the game !

A Charlie Rosen article stating the obvious, that the Blazers are no better off now than they were 3 years ago:

So now we've gone from the Jail Blazers to the Frail Blazers.
Tell me again why we opted for a fourth point guard (Patty Mills) over Ime Udoka or Jared Collins?

It's obvious that there's something more to this than a bad luck streak or "the injury bug."
Paul Allen, Maurice, Nate, Greg, Travis, Rudy, guys we drafted that never even played a second - all hurt. Did I forget anyone?
Only an idiot would look at that in the first 20 games of a season and not see an entity - a living ugliness that must be addressed. We can no longer afford little shrugs of "What next?" This will require a carefully thought out response followed by decisive action.
I call upon witch doctors, shaman, priests, rabbis, ministers, Islamic clerics, Druids, voodoo practitioners of black magic, Native American medicine men - in short any type of personnel who ever took on vile vibes of any kind.
I say we gather these spiritual warriors at halftime of a Blazers game and concentrate their forces to lift this curse. Get the crowd to chant, pray, trash talk, hum, whatever it takes.
Sure, by now it feels like if we sprinkle holy water on the Rose Garden floor, one of our remaining players would slip on it and break a leg. But this is no time for inaction.
We just had 3 surgeries in 3 days. What more do we need to see before we get it? Surgeries by the hour? It is time to fight back.
Personally, I recommend doing it during a Lakers game. While I would never wish harm on anyone, maybe the curse will leave peacefully with them. Kindred spirits stick together.
