Look at Roy, he seems so concerned when it happened. He was just like... oh no, not again.
 
I was driving home when it happened. Sorta' glad I didn't see it happen. Let's hope it's only a dislocated kneecap...
 
Yeah...I am nowhere near the type that cries after every loss and jumps ship after every little thing...But I'm in the water now and swimming back to shore. Fuck that boat. I don't even care about the rest of the season.
 
Props to the Houston trainer for running out to help whatever was needed for Greg before our guys came in. Damn this is so heartbreaking.

agreed, while our coach just stood on our sidelines and didn't check up on him
 
Look how many people are injured on the team...cuts on peoples faces, knees, feet, backs, shoulders, coaches with torn shit now. fuck!
 
I'm betting just a dislocated kneecap. The way it occurred isn't really typical of ligamentous damage, although it's hard to tell. This would be way more like Bynum than Livingston though.

I know they are trying to keep cool but Mike & Mike calling the game like nothing happened is so fucking annoying.

Isn't that the truth! God, I hate Mike Barrett and Mike Rice, chirping along like nothing happened and making their cute little jokes. Screw them.
 
I feel bad for Greg. Greg the person has overcome so many physical injuries, so much media crap being piled on him, carrying an entire city's hopes on his shoulders, and some tough emotional hits in his life that this is just one of the worst possible people for this to happen to. Oden deserves so much better than this and it makes me feel so much for him because he's worked so hard to make everyone happy and overcome everything that has happened to him. You'd think he get some fucking good karma from fate for handling everything that has been thrown at him so well.
 
So sad for Greg.

The good news is that he didn't seem to be in much pain; so, maybe its just a minor dislocation.

From the video, it doesn't seem like there was any contact or awkward movement. It looked like he just went straight up.
 
In all seriousness, I'm not here to start shit with you guys or anything. As a Lakers' fan, I know what its like seeing your big go down because of a knee injury like that. I hope he gets better real fast and it isn't anything serious.

Good luck, guys.

That in itself is very worrisome. It tells me that Oden is very fragile, and probably not destined to be a professional basketball player for very long. The running and jumping is just too hard on his body.
 
Hopefully it just sort of slipped out of place. He obviously wasn't hit.

I wonder how big the difference is. Bynum's last year looked gruesome.
 
I thought he might have had his kneecap contacted when I first saw it...can't find a replay where I can see it again, though...
 
From another thread.

MRI result is fractured left patella. He'll undergo surgery and miss the rest of the season.

:(

Could be just a rumor, at this point, but I wouldn't be surprised. He may never come back from this injury, either. Such a shame.
 
Hopefully that isn't the case and it is just dislocated.
 
The tweets seem more up to date.

Blazers’ Oden carried off on stretcher
7 minutes ago

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP)—Portland center Greg Oden(notes) was taken off the court on a stretcher after an apparent knee injury in the first quarter of the Trail Blazers’ game against the Houston Rockets on Saturday night.

Oden dropped to the floor clutching his left knee and grimacing after colliding with a driving Aaron Brooks(notes) midway through the first quarter.

He was almost immediately surrounded by trainers and physicians. The crowd at the Rose Garden stood and chanted “Oden! Oden!”

The game was stopped for some 7 minutes. Finally, Oden was gently moved to a stretcher and wheeled from the court. The Blazers said he would undergo an MRI but further details were not available.

Oden, the No. 1 pick in the 2007 NBA draft out of Ohio State, has been plagued by injures for his entire NBA career.

The 7-footer missed rookie season after undergoing microfracture surgery on his right knee. Last season, Oden sat out six games after injuring his right foot in the season opener against the Lakers, then missed 14 games after the All-Star break with a bone chip in his left knee. He finished the season averaging 8.9 points and 7 rebounds.

Oden lost weight during the offseason and was averaging 11.7 points and 8.8 rebounds this season as a starter.

The Blazers have been beset by injuries. Starting forward Nicolas Batum(notes) needed shoulder surgery just before the opener. Fellow forward Travis Outlaw(notes) fractured his foot in mid-November and required surgery.

Forward Rudy Fernandez(notes) was out of Saturday night’s game with sciatic pain and set to undergo an MRI. It was uncertain if he would be with the team on an upcoming four-game road trip starting with the Knicks on Monday.

Even coach Nate McMillan was set to undergo surgery Monday after rupturing his right Achilles’ tendon during practice.

The coach was participating in practice because the team is so short-handed. He will miss the team’s upcoming road trip, replaced by assistant coach Dean Demopoulos.
 
What is the rehabilitation following a patella fracture?
Following a patella fracture, patients will need to keep their knee in a straight position to allow for initial healing. Exactly when the knee can begin moving depends on the strength of the repair your surgeon is able to achieve. Gentle motion can usually begin in the first weeks following surgery.

The most common complication of surgery for a patella fracture is that the metal implants can be painful over time--especially when kneeling. Because of this, it is not uncommon for a second procedure to remove the metal implants to be performed. This procedure is usually done at least a year after the initial surgery. Other possible complications include:

Infection
Non healing fractures
Failure of the fixation to hold the fragments in place
Kneecap pain (chondromalacia)
Knee arthritis

Damn, almost worst fears confirmed... only thing worse would have been serious ligament damage...but at this point who knows what they'll find.

Oden gave us a ton of hope and some great times. I remember the entire lottery process, the Oden rally downtown when he came in, such excitement, such a good kid... I really can't believe this has happened to him... sucks so bad!
 
This is the sulking thread. :(
