    What about 49 games of 10/8/2.5? I just want him healthy, but the season isn't off to a great start for Oden.

    Maybe not, but the constant Oden criticism accomplishes nothing. Even if he becomes a bust, playing the 'I-told-you-so' game does nothing other than give Oden haters Internet hard-ons.

    I don't think that stating the obvious is "criticism". The reality is that nobody knows when Greg will return, and it is puzzling, at least to me. Assuming he has a "normal" body, there should be a fairly predictable timetable for a return.

    Big disappointment imo. I don't understand how they can rule him out for opening night because of this ailment? It smells like there's more to it.

    Great start! Hey, did you know Portland could have had Kevin Durant?

    True story.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Pay me a GM's salary to worry about what to do next. ;)

    What I mean is that I'll be ready to give up on Oden as a franchise big man. He may still be a useful player when he plays, and the team still has plenty of talent. I won't have given up on the team's future.

    Well it sounds like being cautious is the best approach. If he plays to early he could do damage to the tendon from what Jaynes said in his article. That's the last thing anyone wants.

    Anything worth doing is worth doing right. I'm at my wits ends with this, and I'm sure Greg is too. Can you imagine the flack this franchise would get from the National media if Greg is rushed back and gets injured again? I'm just glad Cho isn't out there sugar coating this situation like Pritchard would have done.

    You're already getting paid a GM's salary to moderate this forum, you want your cake and eat it to? :)
