    Reports are that he was a bit tentative, but he did well. Oden says this was a huge mental step for him. Still no timetable for full return.

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Oden. No injuries this year, big fella!

    He can make the bench that much stronger.

    Maybe Greg can pick up some of JB's backup PG minutes!

    On a serious tip, this is great news. At this point it might be more mental then physical.

    Well, they both foul the opponents at a rather quick rate - and they are both fouled a lot by the opponents as well.

    It's all about the swelling first, then the mind.

    You didn't know we had to sacrifice Bayless to the basketball gods in order to make them happy so Greg could return? :)

    Comon Man! Just when I was going to post that if Greg starts playing 5 on 5, he can start posting pictures on the internet from his phone again!

    Inside word had it that Greg was reticent towards playing with "that cocky little ball hog" Bayless.

    I hope his knee doesn't flare up tonight. That's the troublesome part, he seems to have a very hard time healing from injuries.

    Kinda surprised we didn't hear much about 3 on 3 drills, but he moves straight to 5 on 5 full court?

    Awesome news. If he's ready to go 100% by Thanksgiving, we're set.
