    ugh I hope he's not rushing back because of Pendy, but if he feels good then so be it

    His injury was a lot worse than Greg's. I'm surprised he's even playing this season.

    Ya, really good news. Just hope he's not rushing as already been commented. He's a warrior!

    Joel is the man! Maybe this will light a fire under Gregs ass and he will man up!

    I think it said that Oden's happy for him. Oden stepped out of tonight's party into the moonlight, to text him a good luck message.

    I don't think Joel returning can magically cure patellar tendinitis.

    Joel is a warrior. When he got injured last year I figured his career was over. Then when he tore it again in the shower, I thought that it was the nail in the coffin. Now...he's back?!?!?! Great news.

    Well, we will see how well he is able to move. I'm glad to hear he's back though. We need him badly.

    I'm with you Nate, it's really easy to get excited until you remember the injury (injuries?) he suffered. His game was never predicated on extreme athleticism, but he wasn't a total stiff either.

    He had a worse injury than Oden, was injured a week or two after him and re-injured it needing another operation, yet he'll be back before Oden. This isn't making sense to me.

    Joel's injury was a lot worse. I don't get this either. Joel is nearing a return and Greg could be out until November/December.

    No one is really sure when Oden will be back. But the thing that slowed Oden down was getting Tendentious which really really sucks. I have it in my hands and its not easy to ride yourself of. That being said I'm in no way saying Tendentious is worse then tearing your patella not once but twice, it is apsolutely incrediable that Joel has come back so fast. The guy is a true warrior and I hope him the best. Over the last few years he has slowly become one of my all time favorite blazers, and the way he is handling this injury is just increasing my respect for him.

    On Wednesday night I just happened to be listening to 95.5 and Kenny Vance was on. I didn't get to hear the whole show, but Kenny Vance said that he had heard that Greg Oden had done something really stupid and had a setback in his rehab. He didn't elaborate while I was listening. He also said that he had heard that Oden was not the best patient during his rehab and that he needed to mature more. A lot of innuendo, but if true, this might explain why Oden is taking longer to get back to the court than expected.

    I said this exact same thing about 2 weeks ago in another thread, but no one payed attention to it. Oden reinjured himself during rehab, but the team was keeping quiet about it. That's why when Cho says he is on pace to get back, he is right. His time line was just pushed back.

    Gosh! Kenny Vance and innuendo??? "Innuendi" is Vance's middle name.

    That would explain things a bit more; it just never added up that it was taking him this long to come back from a broken bone.

    On the plus side it means that Greg doesn't take 4X as long to heal from a broken bone as normal people, but on the negative it does mean he's potentially got one more knee injury that has cost him significant time.
