Signing Dampier wouldn't hinder us from making a 2-1 or 3-1 deal, our front office does that all by itslef

 

[LOTBfan]

What about that story is supposed to make us weep?

You must be extra fragile.

There's nothing new in the Canzano piece. We know there's no timetable and he's having tendinitis in his rehabbing knee. Sadly, Oden's our only real hope right now to make noise in the West with Nat's offense.

...And one ambitious fan even said, “I’m sorry for interrupting,” before handing a friend his camera and then mugging for a snapshot alongside the general manager.

No doubt, that was SlyPokerDog.

Also, we know that team insiders will tell you that Oden had an impressive display of dunking and running at a practice last week — and woke up the following morning with noticeable swelling in his knee.
Cho refused to put a timeline on Oden’s return from a fractured patella. And why would he? “If I knew he’d be back Nov. 30, I’d say it,” the general manager said. This lifts the lid on the mystery that is the front office’s unwillingness to put a timeline or any kind of pressure on Oden.

They simply don’t know.

I can live with that.

You should, too.

Jeebus...

I just wasted my time reading a full Canzano article. When will I ever learn.

He didn't even make it easy for me with a lot of 1-sentence paragraphs.

Memo to thread readers who are delaying reading the article: Not worth your time.

A noticeably swollen knee seems to be more than simple "tendonitis", unless Greg has the largest tendons in the history of the human race.

WEEEP!!!!!!!!!!! The update is there are no new updates!!!

 

[Pinwheel1]

This from Canzano: "All along I figured they were keeping secrets, especially when it came to Oden. I realize now that they just didn’t know. And they still don’t."

Wasn't that kind of obvious?

Oh my, I never would have thought an athlete playing through the pain on knee tendonitis would have caused noticeable swelling to said knee the following morning. Who would have ever associated tendonitis with swelling of the tendons in that joint? Oh wait...

Nice Thread Title

im am so tired of the mixum saga... my god it just wont end

Noticeably swollen means there is some soft tissue involved. I have tendonities in both knees from years of skiing. My knees don't noticeably swell, but they do hurt like hell. I guess I don't see how this news is a positive, but I know you have your grudge to uphold...

No grudge, I was just making fun of the general concept of a swollen knee when you have a diagnosis of "swelled tendons in the knee".

That said, on a serious note, you may be closer to the truth than not.

Listening to Quick on the radio, he obviously is getting the company line whispered in his ear, and they are pushing him to say Joel won't be back until Thanksgiving and Greg not until December. So they're certainly playing this out like they are set to get another big man on the roster and not rush these guys back to playing on swollen knees.

What a waste of time that was! It's funny how he only quotes or posts links from the 2 biggest jackoffs in our market...... the 2 assclowns that know the least....Canzano and Jaynes!

 

[Natebishop3]

Regardless, it just doesn't seem good for a guy his age to be having so many knee problems. It doesn't bode well...

You're right, Greg's knees are fine.

 

[THE HCP]

You're right, Greg's knees are fine.

That's not the point. Of course they aren't fine. Haven't we finalized this yet? ANOTHER useless thread about it and the source is a joke.

 

[MIXUM]

youre right hcp.... only barrett and wheels (homers) know whats going on ... everyone else is clueless.

*Deleted*

 

[MIXUM]

calling me a jackass isnt a personal attack?

 

[Wheels]

calling me a jackass isnt a personal attack?

are you saying you are baiting?

 

[MIXUM]

im saying i get my post deleted but im the one who got called a jackass. go figure. thats baiting on hcp's part

 

[Wheels]

so maybe he bit the bait?

 

[MIXUM]

no its just another case of the mods kissing hcp's ass. that is all

 

[THE HCP]

Or maybe they agree with me.

 

[MIXUM]

so you can call me a jackass but i cant say you had a dumb look on your face?

Honest question

I am curious, HCP. What, in your opinion, makes those sources a joke? Also, who in this market would you not consider a joke of a source?

A few reasons. Jaynes is as out of loop as it comes. Canzano barely goes to home games let alone road. These players don't talk to EITHER of these guys. As much as I don't like Quick and how he writes, at least he is around the team. Freeman is squared away and to answer you ?, Bryan T. Smith was great and will be missed

 

[MIXUM]

smith, quick, freeman are the biggest softies who cover the blazers. thats why hcp likes them.

canzano and jaynes arent sugar coaters/homers... translation call out crap when they see it.

 

[THE HCP]

I hate Quick and Freeman! I said at least they go to games and have a relationship with the players. Canzano doesn't even go to the fucking games! Jaynes is washed up and is now a radio tool! What are you fucking talking about. They have the least amount of cred in this city, yet you link their articles and quote them. A perfect match!
