Per Jay Allen: Greg Oden participates in ful 5-on-5 practice today

[PtldPlatypus]

Reports are that he was a bit tentative, but he did well. Oden says this was a huge mental step for him. Still no timetable for full return.

woot woot. Hate seeing Bayless go but when Greg does come back our rotation will be Set. Watch out NBA

great to hear that, even better would be that there was NO swelling in the knee!

 

[Shooter]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Oden. No injuries this year, big fella!

 

[RoyToy]

He can make the bench that much stronger.

 

[THE HCP]

Maybe Greg can pick up some of JB's backup PG minutes!

 

[THE HCP]

On a serious tip, this is great news. At this point it might be more mental then physical.

Sweet! Excellent news!

Well, they both foul the opponents at a rather quick rate - and they are both fouled a lot by the opponents as well.

 

[THE HCP]

He's got handles!

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

GREAT NEWS!
I hope we continue to be cautious with Greg and Joel and dont rush them back to soon.

It's all about the swelling first, then the mind.

No joke! Ease 'em in!

You didn't know we had to sacrifice Bayless to the basketball gods in order to make them happy so Greg could return?

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Sweet . . . I wonder if he will be ready for tomorrow's game.

 

[hasoos]

No joke! Ease 'em in!

Comon Man! Just when I was going to post that if Greg starts playing 5 on 5, he can start posting pictures on the internet from his phone again!

 

[ABM]

Inside word had it that Greg was reticent towards playing with "that cocky little ball hog" Bayless.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I hope his knee doesn't flare up tonight. That's the troublesome part, he seems to have a very hard time healing from injuries.

 

[illmatic99]

Kinda surprised we didn't hear much about 3 on 3 drills, but he moves straight to 5 on 5 full court?

Awesome news. If he's ready to go 100% by Thanksgiving, we're set.

Were that the case, I'd have volunteered to throw him into a volcano myself.

 

[THE HCP]

Maybe Bayless was sleepin' with Greg's mom and that's why he got sent off!

Thank god. Greg Oden to the Heat would be game changing!

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

GREAT NEWS!

Agreed. It's a long season.

 

[THE HCP]

Agreed. It's a long .

Your mom told me this last night!

 

[Natebishop3]

Definitely good news. Now he just needs to keep working on getting healthy and hopefully some form of game shape so when he gets back he isn't completely gassed after a couple minutes of play

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Your mom told me this last night!

Do you know how old BP is? And you're spending nights with his mom? I know AV geeks aren't picky, but still...

 

[THE HCP]

Once she turns off the lights and takes out her teeth.......... pure heaven!

 

[Shooter]

Your mom told me this last night!

And I'm the one who posts "stupid shit"?

Uh, okay.

 

[ABM]

Uh, okay.

We take a mean average. Naturally, all of HCP's posts are thrown out of the equation.
