		<description><![CDATA[How many players with wrecked knees, legs and cartilage will it take for before the Trailblazers wake up and realize that they are playing on a bad and flawed basketball floor. Something is terribly wrong in that building for this to keep happening. One time is a freak accident. 5-10 times is a serious problem. From Bill Walton-Maurice Lucas-Sam Bowie-Benoit Bengamin-Kevin Ducksworth-Clyde Drexler-Greg Oden-Pryzbilla-Brandon Roy-Marcus Camby. This is alarming! and it needs to be investigated by Blazer management and the NBA. There were other players of less consequence also affected. There are 2 common denominators here. They all had severe leg injuries and they all played regularly on the same surface. Drexler claimed that his legs wearing out in Portland was a contributing factor in his desire to return to Texas at the end of his career.

I obviously can&#039;t prove my theory. But it is this. I believe that floor is not uniformly level from one end to the next. So players jum a certain way, always expecting to land a certain way. But the smallest of errors in their perceived distance (from top to bottom) causes them to land with more or less force. Multiply this effect over time and add in perhaps some preexisting physical conditions, and you could have a toxic brew. Someone needs to do a complete surface analysis of the Trailblazers floor. Or i believe this will continue to occur there.]]></description>
