Official: Oden is out 2 more games...and likely more

[MIXUM]

http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2009/02/oden_travels_with_blazers_not.html

lets recap....

First, it was a minor injury. Then he was out a few games (maybe 2). Next he was out the homestand and Nate says "as of now he doesnt need surgery. Today Kp sounded less sure on courtside about odens return saying hopefully within a week. Now hes out the 2 biggest road games of our season so far and sounds real iffy for the minny game. $1000 bucks says hes out past SA at home.

So i ask is the wonderful and talented KP getting ready to drop the bomb? Maybe he didnt wanna do it after the trade deadline dissapointment.

 

[B-Roy]

KP is actually protecting him from being embarrassed by Yao and TD. Smart move imo.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Kind of expected.

Should we really expect anything different from Mr. Glass? He's at least consistent at one thing, other than fouls....

 

[RoyToy]

Shouldn't this be merged with the Courtside Tonight thread? It's the same information.

Official: The use of "official" in official documents makes it sound more truthy.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

boo.

oh well, we'll get more SBO hopefully.

There should be a big button on the front of your computer (if you have a PC). Push it until the screen goes black. And just like that, he's on ignore.

Joel is going to need to step his game up on this road trip. The guy is definitely capable of it!

How about leave the board for a week?

 

[MIXUM]

deal!

 

[julius]

Oh man, you had a chance to go for the gold ring here...why did you settle for a week?

 

[PapaG]

I'm not going to jump on any poster for pointing out that Oden is hardly an iron man at this point of his career.

I got ignored by multiple posters for daring to say that Oden isn't ready to be the primary option because you can't depend on him to either stay in the game or be healthy.

Gee, I'm so surprised that bumping knees turns into a two-week injury for him. I want to give the guy the benefit of the doubt in terms of injury, but there is no reason to do so thus far in his career.

Let's recap...

typical of this board, the OP becomes the issues when all he did was point out that the Blazers have a center who misses two weeks because he bumped knees with a much smaller man.

Be glad I got a week out of him!

Not to quibble too much but I went ahead and fixed it for you -- Maggette isn't "tall" but the dude is like a 6'7" bowling ball.

But, yeah Mixum is certainly entitled to be disappointed, and frankly I'm kind of shocked that something that was described as a 'chip fracture' has taken such a chunk of time to come back from (I sustained the same injury on my own patella 15 years ago as a high school wrestler) that and the fact that he finished the GS game and practiced the next day for the Rookie-Soph challenge.

Tough break and hopefully it isn't more serious than the team is letting on ... then again giving out overly optimistic timetables that don't get met would be even more damaging to theirs and Greg's reputations at this point.

rubio watch 09!

 

[MAS RipCity]

How does Greg come back into the game after the banged knee and now can't play 4 2 weeks? Something fishy is going on here, and Im tired of the Blazers beating around the bush..just tell us whats the status of the injury

 

[mgb]

Is that either Wed or Sun? Don't really matter to me how you post, just curious. I'll be happy if they split with SA in the next week.

 

[BlayZa]

it isnt good news , and mixum is right in this case - its a fuckin worry :/

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Who, Oden?

I agree . . . although the term "explaratory surgery" and Oden is enough to make me go into denile.

I can't handle the truth!

 

[HailBlazers]

$1000 bucks says hes out past SA at home.

I'll take that bet. PM where you wanna meet so we can shake on it.

 

[rocketeer]

so did they actually say "and likely more" or is that just mixum being mixum? i assume i know the answer.

 

[cdub503]

How long would it take to scope it out if they were to go that route

 

[MIXUM]

at least 2-4 weeks


with oden... prob 6-8
