Having Greg out of the lineup during this (grueling) point of the season is no big deal, because these are games the Blazers stood to lose anyway.
 
Disagreed. Greg needs this experience and see how he stacks up against the best. Now, it's just the same as last season.
 
Strongly disagree. Oden is now going to not be in game shape until the middle of December I predict. The team will need to make re-adjustments when he's introduced back into starting line up. And last, Oden has to wait to gain any real experience against the great bigs in this league.

All of this is going to hurt the team's chances at making the Playoffs.
 
disagree, Oden needs to get into basketball shape. This injury delays it even more.
 
Disagree for the same reasons that those above have listed.
 
Disagree. With Oden, we should have a better chance of winning EVERY GAME.
 
Again it's not all bad, this kid needs to build his confidence up and this weeks schedule is brutal playing against some great bigs. Do I wish we still had him of course but in the end it won't be all bad
 
Disagree. We can't baby him like that, he is going to have to get in there and get hit and bruised up. If he can do decent against the big centers and forwards in the league, the against smaller teams he should just dominate them.
 
Disagree big time.

It depends on how Nate handles the situation though. No one has to guard Joel, so now LMA and Roy will be doubled. Nate should put Rudy out there with the starters to counter that. Travis is not the answer because he kills the spacing on offense
 
Agree! Now we get a better lottery pick!

I know you aren't serious, but I will give you a serious answer anyway. At this point, I don't see anybody in the mid to late lotto worth getting that excited about. Even Rubio, the current consensus #1, hardly seems worth all the negative things people have already cited.
 
I agree that it might be good but not for those reasons listed. I think it will enable Roy and Aldridge and others to get into a bit of a flow then we can add Greg to and already established rhythm.
 
I agree that Greg's play over the next 2-4 weeks will not affect our win loss total during that period.
 
Disagree. With a healthy team, we can beat these tough teams and MUST beat these teams. We have the talent to do it. Losing two of our starters during this part of our schedule really really sucks. There is NO UPSIDE to losing Oden, who hasn't played meaningful basketball in a year and a half. He needs to play and re-establish who he is as a player. Ugh. I get so angry when I think about him being out for these next few weeks. It really really sucks. And what next?? Zach and Amare had established themselves before their surgeries and so they knew what they needed to to get back to that level. Greg hasn't proven anything yet. We still don't know if the guy is any good. He needs to frickin PLAY. AGHHHH!!

I have faith that he will be fine. Yes it sucks -- Big Time -- but Greg just needs to worry about what he's doing -- not the expectations of others. We haven't seen him play like the Greg Oden we have seen highlights of yet, but I have faith that we will see flashes this year. I just hope he doesn't lose his confidence. Get healthy big fella!
