GO Doin Work Pregame

First video we have of GO. He's lookin fluid.

 

Nice! It definitely looks like his return can't be too far off.

 

I heard an interview of Quick (Lund) on friday where he said that even though he is doing those light drills, he is still not running and the scuttlebutt around the team is Oden will return late December.

That seems overly cautious to me. If he is moving that well, why can't he start playing 10 min by the end of November? Joel at least is expected back in a couple weeks.

 

Maybe it's the mental aspect that's holding him up. Everyone keeps saying stuff about how it's hard to get that trust in the knee again.

 

I love how he just moves Buck out of the way.

 

Oberto looks just as good in that video.

 

If he's not running yet then he can't be in game shape, it looks like he's lost some weight overall but I'd rather see him come back in good condition instead of playing his way into shape. I'm still hoping for mid December but I'll be happy with late December, especially if we get Joel back sometime in the next 3 weeks or so.

 

Well maybe his knee tendinitis is severe enough that any strenuous exercise causes his knee to flare up. My guess is the issue isn't so much that he can look good for a day or two of practice and that he can't move, but that he can't move the day after.

 

Looked more like he just moved out of Oden's way.

 

I would just like to point out that this team has been overly careful and extremely cautious handling Greg Oden's injuries since day one, and where has it gotten them?

 

He looks like he's not afraid to jump or dunk, even casually, which is great.

 

It was all due to the late night games of checkers he's been putting in FAMS!

 

Why are they shooting balls at the same hoop? That is a disaster waiting to happen.
