Meh.

The only thing I took from those highlights was his developing Ginobli-esque bald spot.
 
Good for GO. I'm happy for him. I just wish he could have stayed healthy as a Blazer. Damn, he is a difference maker.

Well this pains me. Not a hater and I get all those who wish him well, but it hurts me to see him producing on the court. I really thought he was the ticket to the Blazers being championship contenders for peroid of time.

I think he's a punk ass who quit on us and became a drunk while making STUPID decisions and failing on his rehab. I feel like he owes us big and as EVIL as it is to say, I hope HOT LAVA flows out of both of his knees. I hope both of his knees erupt like Mount St. Helens, and I want it to happen IN PORTLAND.

Edit: that's a damn evil thing to say... Only half of me wants that LOL.

I hope his leg goes necrotic and needs to be amputated.

Don't diss my hometown and its team!
 
The guy has a long way to go before I feel bad that he's not on our team.

Right now TRob >>>>>> Oden
 
Pulling for the big fella, but im still a little emo

It's a bit odd that they started Oden in the 2nd half, pulled him after a few minutes, and he never returned. That can't be good...

ESPN said that they started him in the 2nd half to minimize stiffness...

Why bring Oden in then?

“We were down by 30,” Spoelstra said.

As if there weren’t enough Heat surprises, Oden came out in the second half with the rest of the starters, subbing in for Shane Battier who watched the third-quarter’s opening minutes from the bench. The aggressive approach ensured that Oden wouldn’t get stiff like he did after four minutes of action in the preseason game in New Orleans. Oden rode a bike during halftime and Spoelstra gave him the nod.

Oden’s final line in eight minutes of action: six points on two dunks and a pair of free throws along with two rebounds. Not captured in the box score were several altered shots and screens.

I wish him well. Sad that a marquee player has devolved into a garbage time player. Some, not all, is his fault.

But in a world full of tragedy, this is low on the sadness meter.
 
this ain't bill Walton winning 6th man of the year for the Celtics, yet. still feel dissed and burned by oden and the basketball gods. wessey-wes does well with a chip on his shoulder though. perhaps he'll be able to channel this in the finals vs. the heat for us.
 
Good for Greg. I sort of doubt he'll hold up, but I think Miami was a good situation for him where he can just be a small piece and try to resurrect what has been a shitty, shitty career.
 
These expectations are really high now! He did well.

If he plays 2 games in a row, he may not be able to live up to it after that!

Eh, I kid. Good for him. Unfortunately, it's in Miami. Now we'll hear about it constantly.
 
Always been a fan of Oden and really hope he does well. Never against the Blazers of course, but I would definatly have some gloating to do if he stays healthy.

Now of Leonard can just make an increadible breakout and DOMINATE the league, we would be set!

I just don't get the notion that Oden was an innocent bystander to his own life and problems.

Everyone knows Greg was a party animal. Did you know this? http://espn.go.com/college-football...s-dismisses-anthony-oden-following-dwi-arrest

Alcholism runs in families. If Anthony threw away his career for booze, why is it so hard for people to accept that Greg may have done the same?

A young twenty-something, with millions of dollars likes to party?

The nerve.

In any case, it doesn't really account for his knees disintegrating into a pile of splintered cartilage and bone.

You obviously never heard that he liked to hook semi's to a harness when he was drunk and pull them around town.
 
Partying away when you're young and rich is fine, but doing it on the Blazers payroll while rehabilitating multiple knee surgeries is just stupid! I gave Oden a lot of rope with recovery until I learned he was drinking heavily which is the worst thing you could do for bone repair or tissue regrowth. Greg lost my support after that and I don't think he'll have a long career now. I've been wrong before, might be in this case as well but that's my 2 cents on Greg Oden.
 
What about Odens foul troubles and issues with staying in games? Everyone focuses on his health issues but before that he could never stay on the court due to fouls and he never got the experience he needed to learn how to play around that. I was always suspicious of the refs back then as he seemed to get a lot of ticky tack calls along with some legit ones. It will be interesting as he plays to see how much of this is still an issue. IF it is not an issue at all, like I assume it wont, then I call bullshit on the whole stupid league..... again.
 
He isn't gonna need to worry about fouling out in 10mpg

He plays for the Heattles now. He will no longer be a victim of biased officiating, he will benefit from it.

I know a lot of posters here like to give Oden shit about his rehab efforts, but I think the team is every bit as responsible. In other words, plenty of blame to go around. He had his first microfracture surgery at 19 years of age. During his first rehab Oden gained a LOT of weight, mostly upper body from lifting. That as just plain stupid and should have gotten our strength and conditioning coach fired immediately. He didn't need to get stronger and the last thing Oden's knees needed was an extra 45 pounds of weight to support. He was 19 and living alone in a new city. The team should have hired a nutritionist and a full time chef to make sure he was eating right. Yeah, ultimately it was Oden that put on the weight and started drinking, but the staff should have done a MUCH better job supervising his rehab.

It's generally not the best idea to have a fat man tell you how to get or stay in shape, just sayin'

Yeah, when I was a kid, our family doctor was 5'9" and about 350 pounds. I can see why my dad, at 6'2" 250 always had a hard time accepting his advice to lose weight. Physician heal thyself!

You know they tried, right? And you know that the CBA prohibits forcing him to do what they suggested, right?

Yes, they deserve a good bit of blame for what happened. But don't pretend they didn't want to do more but couldn't...
