    Been a fan since the mid-70-s, always will be. The bandwagon seems to be getting lighter by the minute. The team need support now more then ever.

    HCP, please send our best to GO. He doesn't deserve this kind of luck.

    Let's be honest here man... Greg is done for the rest of this year, and he probably won't get back to this kind of shape for another year or so after that. So, we essentially just lost Oden for 2 seasons. That hurts. Will I jump ship? No...... but this hurts.

    Not sure what the point is of the thread, but I hope GO gets well. That said, it has to be completely devastating to him and to the team right now.

    Yes, please find a way to show him how much Portland, along with Oregon and so many fans across the internet of different teams too love and support him.

    It's a broken kneecap, it's not like he had his legs amputated.

    This isn't like MF. He doesn't have to keep the knee immobilized for months. He'll be walking on it in a couple of weeks. He'll be 100% by next season.

    I hope you're right. Have they done a full workup yet though? Do we know the whole story or is this just the preliminary prognosis?

    Enduring the jail blazer era and all that crap I've developed thick skin. This sucks on an epic level though.

    He was 100% this season. The circumstantial evidence at this point says that the guy has brittle bones. There is no spinning this fact.

    I hope the team takes this win, and the loss of Greg, as a bonding moment, and can rally behind it for the year.

    It would be a great story if we were to survive this through March to see Nicolas and Travis get back.. and make the playoffs and win a series.

    The point is that a lot of quote unquote FANS on here a very negative and this is the type of thing that would make them jump ship. They were probably the same FANS that ditched the team when we were getting our ass handed to us. Those aren't real fans.

    Um... HCP, this is a Blazer forum. We're all hard core fans here. You're not gonna see any of us jumping ship.

    Some of us (like Me) will call for tanking the season and reloading with an even more stacked roster next year, but we're not gonna abandon the team, or Greg.
