Maybe the lockout will be a godsend for this team? A year off to get fully healthy might not be the worst thing in the world.

I had exactly the same thought. So there's an upside to all of this: we'll no longer think of the lockout as an unwanted pause in the Blazers' dynasty!

(Another upside: how old will Kobe be after the lockout?)
 
Perfect time for that microfracture surgery!

In fact, everyone on the team can get them. Let's face it, they're going to have to get them at some point, unless they get traded away, so why not do 'em all at once?
 
Roy can get that microfracture surgery and rehab the whole year yay!

Oden with all that extra time.....scares me. He'd could come back looking like Eddy Curry for all we know,
 
SMH.

EDIT:

Actually, this better exemplifies my feelings:

Of course, his informed opinion was unconfirmed to begin with, and now he's correcting that opinion without any factual information. I want to write for the Oregonian too!

As I read it, his opinion is based in his apparent fact that Oden is no longer healthy enough to scrimmage 5 on 5, let alone play in a game.
 
I know Oden had a set back last year during rehab. I wonder how bad it was?
 
I think it's unexpected. What the fuck is going on with him? How long should it take to heal?

Agreed 100%... assuming the info is accurate.

Waitaminute - you ARE Mixum, aren't you?

hell I watched the Laker feed of the last game and their announcers seemed convinced he would be back shortly after watching him in practice earlier that day :dunno:

Yeah, but that's the LA media. They aren't being paid to put a negative spin on everything related to the Blazers. That's the local media's job.

I love LA! At least in this...

That's why I put that "if" in there! Haha.

So is Freeman lying about Oden not participating in 5 on 5 during practice?
 
Would you be surprised? He knows about as much as I do. Where did he go to med school?

Yes, I'd be surprised if a beat writer lied about Oden not being involved in 5 on 5 scrimmages. I'm not sure what reporting that information has to do with medical school, and he travels with the team, so I'm guessing he knows a shitload more than your or I do about the daily ongoings of the Blazers.
 
On Sunday night after the game, I texted Bayno and asked him how Greg and Joel were doing. His answer was "Getting closer...."

That's from the guy who works with Oden every day.
 
How much 5 on 5 are the Blazers really doing right now? Tons of travel, a bunch of back to backs, and killer minutes for our main guys. I wouldn't expect much 5 on 5, but we do know that Oden has been working hard before the games so I'm not gonna get to bent outta shape until we hear something definitive from GO or management about a setback.
