Looks like Oden's out Sunday too

I love this spin everyone has on this. First he was milking the injury, now Nate doesn't like what he sees when Greg runs. If he didn't have any fire, would he have limped around for a full quarter when he initially sprained his ankle. Anyone else moving like that would have left the fucking game. Then he has Magette the king of flops barrel into his knee. He still came back and played after that and did quite well. You can question whether he's injury prone, but I don't know how anyone can question his heart. I guess because he isn't a "badass" like Garnett or an arrogant ass like Kobe means he doesn't care. Blazers fans are fucking lame.
 
Um for you to put Oden in the same sentence with Kobe or KG shows who's really lame here! When Oden has one game where he puts up 50 or has a ring than we can call out Kobe or KG... K?

Kobe scores 55 while hooked to an IV at halftime fighting 102 temp and the flu! That's heart!
 
Kent Brockman: Professor, would you say it's time for our viewers to panic?
Professor: Mmm, yes I would, Kent.
 
I'm not worried at all Minstrel, in fact I'm elated! Here's why! I was worried that it might be hard to resign ROY, LA, RUDY, BAYLESS, BATUM and of couse ODEN. Now that Oden has had both knees gone south we wont have to worry about maxing him. This because no other team in the NBA is going to throw their whole bank account at a player that hasn't actually played a full year and will now have an injury prone tag on him.

If Greg pans out and I hope he does, we get him at a FEAR DISCOUNT and our hub will be in place for years to come.

Win! Win!

Confusing logic. First, there was never a worry about being able to re-sign all the players. Portland will have all their Bird rights and the ability to pay the most. Oden becoming a superstar is definitely the thing to hope for. It won't make it harder to retain him, unless he desires to sign for less money elsewhere.

Second, he's not going to be a free agent for several years. If Oden "pans out" in that time, he'll still definitely be maxed out. Having injury troubles now isn't going to change that, if he's healthy and playing at a high level by the end of his rookie contract.

That said, his injuries, while annoying, aren't really a big deal. None of them seem to be career-altering and I don't think he's going to be lost for the rest of the season. Missing games now is a shame, but when he returns I expect that he and the team will continue to improve. The Blazers are a significantly better team with Oden.

Why is this a concern? Paul Allen has enough money to re-sign his entire roster to max. contracts for the next 100 years - if he so chooses. It's not like somebody is going to outbid him for any player he considers worth keeping. Under the current CBA he can offer his own players more money, longer contracts and bigger raises than any other team - which is what he will do for anyone he desires to keep.

So then you're saying Oden's being a pussy, correct? Just trying to see your logic here.

I prefer to think of him as healthier than Andrew Bynum. Andrew Bynum is Bowie 2.0.

Andrew bynum is out for a legit injury. Oden is just a pussy:sigh:

P.S that baby in your avatar has 2 chins.....you gotta feed her healthy :(

So Oden's injury isn't legit. You know is much as we do, which is nothing, troll.

The bottom line is that Bynum has had major surgeries on both knees. How many more major injuries? How many more missed games? He's just like Sam Bowie. He could have had a great career, but injuries are going to end his career early. Come to think of it, on the injury front, you're right. Andrew Bynum is no Sam Bowie--he's Bill Walton.

Don't worrie bout bynum - he's out because of a freak injury, nothing serious.

Oden is just being a pussy

I'm not worried about Bynum at all--it's unlikely he'll ever play more than 20 games in a season again.
 
Yay another thread with the Portland fans ready to run Oden out of town on a rail!!!! Yay!!! The fans are going to ride another player out of town, and this one hasn't even done anything wrong!!!!! Yay!!!! :tsktsk:
 
Toko said:
That's ok, we've been doing pretty well without him so far.

That's good news, because not having him in the lineup while paying him eight figures is what the L*kers future looks like. See, even your team acknowledges that they have to move on without him; he's never going to be the same.

He'll be back when he's cleared, unlike pussy Oden. You see, he actually WANTS to play, something oden apparently lacks.

:dunno: Sam Bowie never did anything wrong either.....trading him was still the right decision.
 
I'd love for us to trade Oden. Then we can make another thread full of Oden hater's that fucking whine like little bitches when he dominates for another team. You guys are fucking pathetic fans.

He likes cheeseburgers more. Andrew "Post Strike Shawn Kemp" Bynum.

That's why that baby looks exactly like Chris Farley. However, Andrew Bynum is supposed to be a basketball player. Unfortunately, the only NBA list he'll ever make is the IL.
 
When this thread is bumped in a year or two, let the record show I believe in Oden!!!
 
Toko...you disgrace Laker fans and trolls alike

As a Laker fan because you are trying to be a troll and act like the "stereotypical internet lakers fan"
As a troll because you suck at it and lack any creativity
 
I could not make it though this whole thread, so I apologize to those who may have made some intelligent comments. But for the most part I am embarrassed that some of you are from the state of Oregon. Seriously I feel like I am watching an episode of Jay Walking. Do you guys ever watch that segment on the Tonight Show and just have to leave the room because you are so embarrassed that the people interviewed actually were educated in this country? That is how I feel reading these posts about Oden. Un Fucking believable. So I am going to do the same thing as I do when I watch Jay Walking and leave this forum, because some of you people are so fucking stupid it makes me want to move to a desert island where there is no internet service. No English speaking people at all. Just a bunch of hot naked female natives.

Please stop the personal attacks:sigh:
 
Oden ran during the team's light workout on Thursday in Minneapolis, and coach Nate McMillan said he did not like what he saw.

That about sums up my feelings on Oden this year . . .
