Looking really mobile ...

^He's been doing that for 3 weeks! I was hoping that link was footage of him playing with the whole team.

Yes you do. Mine was a joke.

To be expected. He was out for almost a year and is probably catching his breath from running 5 on 5 for the first time in a while...

He is not ready to be back, but it's a big step forward.

 

[THE HCP]

I'm curious if that footage is from today?

 

[Idog1976]

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

Are you serious?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Are you serious?

No. Bayless was his best friend on the team.


Great news that he is running through drills, and I assume that video was from a few weeks back.

Less interested in Greg scrimmaging and more in how his knee feels tomorrow.

 

[THE HCP]

^Pray for NO swelling!

 

[Mediocre Man]

^Pray for NO swelling!

Minor soreness and swelling would be normal.

Some more footage of Greg working with Jay..

He's really trimmed down. Encouraging to see him out there with the guys though.

 

[andalusian]

Look how strong he is! Jay can't even stay up bumping into him.

Ice ice ice baby

from here with context:

http://www.blazersedge.com/2010/10/25/1774037/monday-practice-report

Oden went through the practice wearing a black leg sleeve and said he was experiencing stiffness in his knee afterwards. "It's a little tight. It got a little stiff since practice. It's a little stiff right now so I gotta ice it."

and:

Here's a brief video of his post-practice, non-contact work. He's walking through a few sets with Blazers rookies Armon Johnson, Elliot Williams and Luke Babbitt, along with assistant coach Buck Williams. Assistant coach Kaleb Canales is calling out the plays from the baseline.

(emphasis mine)

Make of it what you will.

 

[THE HCP]

Ya, KATU just showed the same stuff from the same angle. Must be today. Baby steps I guess.

 

[BGrantFan]

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

If Greg wakes up tomorrow with no swelling, my guess is it will do wonders for his mind. If there is swelling and pain ... well, let's not go there.

No joke! Ease 'em in!

Yeh, that's what your wife said when me and my brother were visiting......

 

[THE HCP]

Yeh, that's what your wife said when me and my brother were visiting......

BAM! I wondered why it took so long for someone to use this!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

BAM! I wondered why it took so long for someone to use this!

Hey, I owed you one from yesterday.

 

[THE HCP]

Hey, I owed you one from yesterday.

That's what your sister told me last night!

 

[BrianFromWA]

no truth to the rumor that Nate sat him down after 10 minutes because of foul trouble.

I heard he went out to set a pick for Aldridge tripped Brandon Roy and was ejected with a double T after he limped like Brandon hurt his knee.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I hope he was concentrating on rebounding and defense only

yup, thats the crux of the current situation. Hopefully whatever has been causing the swelling has at least somewhat worked it's way out with the rest and rehab

Waiting with interest for an update...
