Positive Blazer News: Oden

[maxiep]

Holler!

Are you sure you're not from Northern New Jersey?

 

[Bob Dobalina]

Holler!

Nice!

 

[Idog1976]

WHAT THE FUCK IS ODEN DOING IN THE GYM/WEIGHT ROOM?

That bastard should be in Las Vegas waiting at the airport to greet the SL team. Selfish bastard. What's more important a couple of late first/second round picks or a potential All-Star center?

Think about it!

Are you sure you're not from Northern New Jersey?

I was told that NE Portland IS just like Northern New Jersey.

Greg Oden is never going to look anything but big - the man's a giant. This is a good thing. A slimmer giant than before, yes, that would be good - but he still won't be confused as not big. If he's working out at the practice facility in early July, I'd say we're in good shape!

 

[mook]

Reminds me of:


He should definitely see if he can grow it out another six or so inches. Hey, if people are talking about your hair they aren't talking about your knee or your dong.

Anyway, it's just great to see him smiling. I salute you sir.

Holler!

When I saw that doo, I immediately thought Arsenio Hall.

 

[mgb]

He looks lighter to me. His sweat shirt looks really loose so it is hard to tell, but just being so loose is a good sign unless it's way to big for him.

 

[Idog1976]

You see these people over here?

These people right there are fools who are gonna git blocked at the rim if they come in the paint!

 

[Nikolokolus]

I'm glad Oden is working hard ... I'll leave it at that.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I think he still has a good career ahead of him. And I hope it's right here.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Wake me up after he plays 60+ games and plays a meaningful role in the team winning a play-off series. Until then, he is dead to me.

 

[Idog1976]

I guess if you call breaking a bone blowing a knee out. But I pretty much thought that term was reserved for cartiledge and ligament damage.

Thank you and repped. Odens injuries have been primarily bone related. Micro was the sole cartilege injury IIRC.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

He's now 7'2"

Seriously, he looks thinner than he did back in April.

 

[Idog1976]

I still believe in my core that it was a lingering issue from him cracking his kneecap against Corey Maggette's metal kneebrace in February 2009. I have no faith in our team doctors, none at all.

Me three since MM already agreed with this.

 

[ABM]

He's now 7'2"

Cool. Knee implants?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The hair, smart guy.

Sweet, so you're saying we got a Seven Foot zombie on our team. Might give a whole new meaning to "he's really feeding off the crowd!"

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

GO Says "I pitty da fool..."

all he needs is some gold around his neck and he can be Mr T....

Notice the partial Blazer Pinwheel logo! I like this guy! At least he's loyal to the club!

 

[THE HCP]

He does look thinner! New Jersey, what the fuck?

 

[oldmangrouch]

Sweet, so you're saying we got a Seven Foot zombie on our team. Might give a whole new meaning to "he's really feeding off the crowd!"

But would the Blazer Medical staff notice?

"Not to worry coach. Lot's of people walk around at room temperature. It never hurt Channing's career!"

 

[BrianFromWA]

I want him to continue to grow out the high top fade until it reaches Christopher "Kid" Reid height. GO would be almost 8' tall!

It'd be great for the inevitable "Here's Kid...not Playin' "

 

[BrianFromWA]

I was told that NE Portland IS just like Northern New Jersey.

nah, it's a lot farther up 95. More like a suburb of Boston.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Sweet, so you're saying we got a Seven Foot zombie on our team. Might give a whole new meaning to "he's really feeding off the crowd!"

wouldn't that mean that some of the crowd would have to have brains?

 

[axs88]

He's now 7'2"

Where did you hear this? Edit: never mind

I agree he looks alright for July. Very encouraging.

 

[maxiep]

The one thing about GO that's been tragic is that all of these injuries have meant he's had to work on rehabilitation and conditioning instead of working on his footwork, post moves and mid-range game.

For all intents and purposes, his career still hasn't started.

 

[HailBlazers]

Indeed, We Aint Seen Nothing Yet.

 

[THE HCP]

God we would be tough with him healthy!
