Oden Article: Broken Not Beat

[craigehlo]

Good read from Marc Spears:

Said Roy: “He’s closer than I think people think.”

good article, but I hate the whole "he'll be back sooner than you think" thing - I thought he'd be back before training camp, which is what we were originally told.

I wish I could rep Marc Spears. Since I can't, I'm repping craigehlo.

Thanks for sharing that great article.

I thought he'd be back before training camp, which is what we were originally told.

Upset - When reality doesn't match your expectations. Imagine how upset Greg has been the last few years. I can't wait for him to come back and gain some confidence, sounds like he needs a boost.

"We’ve been labeled as a team that can’t rebound and we’re not a physical team."

Really, Nate? Who thinks that the Blazers aren't a good rebounding team?

Nice article.

Here's a fun typo:

Oden started to show some of his potential before he was injured last season. In the seven games before he went down, he averaged 15.6 points, 9.1 blocks and 2.4 blocks.

Nine blocks. That would be something.

If I were the type to pick nits, I'd say Joel's injury is not:

an injury similar to Oden’s

But I'm not. So I won't.

“I’m not worried about people believing in me. I believe in myself,” he said. “If you’re going to doubt me, doubt me. But I know what I can do, and I know I’m going to improve, and I know that I can bring a lot to this team.”

So do I Greg. Take your time, get healthy, and kick some ass!

I thought the comments from Nate were more interesting than the rest. We all know Greg is trying to get back. We all know this is hard on him. It is good that he is keeping working. If he works out, awesome. If he doesn't work out, I am prepared for that reality.

Sorry man, but that's pretty damn nerdy.

“It sucks,” he said. “It’s tough to deal with. You can have confidence all you want, but when a lot of time is going by, your confidence starts to die down.”

 

[HailBlazers]

IS that how you feel about life Targus? Sucks.

 

[MIXUM]

i compare this to a guy who has no job telling his wife that "someday I will make loads of money and move you out of this trailer"

she believes it.... 10 years later she lives in her moms basement. see the similarities? blazer fans relationship with Greg is some what abusive. if you need a translation.... greg is full of shit.

 

[HailBlazers]

No way this country would elect an African American President! IT's just impossible

 

[MIXUM]

[HailBlazers]

[MIXUM]

[RR7]

So what do you propose, we trade him? Cut him? Just bash him daily? Bash those that like him?
