    He's going to feel even more weight on his shoulders now. He needs to do something, SOMETHING. At this point he hasn't done a single thing.

    I used to be a huge backer of Greg's, but that's starting to change. How long does it really take to get in shape? Hasn't he been cleared to run for like 4-5 months? I understand not being in game shape, but being a tub o' lard is different.

    I'm really disappointed.

    :banghead2: Kevin Durant is starting to sound real nice about now.

    Hey, on the plus side we can all argue about how we could have taken Kevin Durant. :)

    Seriously though, I can't have this many emotional highs and lows with this guy. He's a Blazer fan's version of cocaine right now.

    If he's hurt long term, I'll be very upset.

    He rolled it pretty good, but I think Kenny Smith is right. The Blazers are being overly cautious with Oden because of his injury history. I think he'll miss two weeks at the most.

    I have a feeling it's not too serious.

    This is what I'm thinking, something is there but they are waiting to announce it until they know for sure.

    With Williams, they did an x-ray and said it was negative but they will do an MRI just to make sure there is no damage.

    Saying it is inconclusive is not good. Big man, structural damage . . . I guessing we are talking months not days or weeks.

    I think that's a great explanation.

    As if we Blazer fans needed another reason to hate Derek Fisher.

    He had a mid-tonsil sprain?

    Well, time for a melatonin, because if I don't I'll be checking every Blazer site on the web for Oden updates tonight.

    I don't know what he had, I just remember he missed some games cause he couldn't breath or something like that so they removed his tonsils . . . missd the rest of summer league if I remember right.

    Some of joked back then about him being injury prone . . not that funny of a joke now.

    I still can't believe that Oden will most likely not be in uniform for the home opener.

    It's almost surreal to me at this point.

    NOTHING and I mean NOTHING gets you back into basketball game shape unless you PLAY basketball. Since he hasn't be able to play until this past September, all he could do was rehab the knee. The guy is a workout warrior and has been getting nothing but glowing remarks from Medina. Please do NOT be THAT FAN. The last thing Oden needs is the fan base to turn a cold shoulder to him.

    I asked my wife (who is an x-ray tech/nuclear med tech) why an x-ray could be inconclusive and she said that if there were a hairline fracture or if the x-ray machine at the Staples center was limited in the kinds of views it can give you, then it's possible that it wouldn't show up ... I guess we'll find out tomorrow what the scoop is.

    I made a clear distinction between game shape and being fit in my post. Does Oden not look like the Paul Pierce version of a center out there?

    He seriously needs to drop more weight.
