You mean the setback to the setback? Or just the original setback? It is a non-weight bearing ligament and they are concerned about the stability of it. Pretty much his knee needs to gain strength back normally, over the course of the next ~1-4 months. You looking for more? Cause I don't think it's coming.

Is that the issue? And if that IS the issue, it doesn't sound bad. Is it just be that his knee needs strength?
 
This is what pisses me off about the Blazers sometimes. I want to know exactly what the setback to Oden is. Instability of non-weight bearing ligament is not enough information. I want to know what ligament and the cause of the instability. Why won't they divulge the information?

or at least don't be so damn vague about it. if they can't say/don't know, say that.
 
HIPAA's a bitch. And why would we want to give the rest of the NBA an update on GO?

We know exactly what's wrong with LaMarcus.

We know exactly what's wrong with Brandon.

When Martell broke his foot a second time a few years ago we were told exactly what happened.

Why not Oden?

Professional sports teams are exempt if an exclusion is negotiated in a CBA, which is the case for the NBA and its players.

If he needed surgery it would make no sense that the doctor who did the MRI cleared him for non-contact basketball practice...

This could be something like a grade 2 MCL sprain that Matt Forte just had. That is a tear in the ligament, but not quite a grade 3 (complete) tear.

I want to believe that, but the team changed their stance from hopeful to less confident that he'll return this season. That implies surgery to me. But who knows? Just a perma-cloud of mystery that lately surrounds this team.
 
They are extremely vague with the details. That makes me nervous. How long has Greg had this problem? It could easily have been a situation last season where it was announced during fall camp that he wouldn't be available for the entire season. Still, he's "likely" to miss 66 more games.
 
...but...but...all of Paul's Vulcans and all the yes men can't put Oden back together again?
 
Could this "set back" be what happened after the initial knee MF, and caused the knee cap explosion?

What does none of us being sexually attractive to girls under 18 have to do with this?
 
non-weight bearing, he can't feel it....I say fuck it, let him play. worst thing that happens? Splits in two? oh well, we already don't have him this year. Clear him, let's go.
 
Canzano fully believes that Greg has played his last game in a Blazer uni.

True, but you didn't know about the HIPAA waiver in the CBA, FWIW.

Sweet. Do you think knowing about that waiver makes you a knee expert? That's just terrific logic.
 
Dwight said that Oden has been doing some of the drills and some light running. He's also avoiding any media like it's the freaking plague.

No. I was just pointing out your ignorance on the HIPAA waiver, and how the Blazers can't use some secret HIPAA wall to throw other teams off of Oden's scent.

Thanks, sweetie. I'll cherish your correction.
