Official: Oden is out 2 more games...and likely more

rubio watch 09!

 

How does Greg come back into the game after the banged knee and now can't play 4 2 weeks? Something fishy is going on here, and Im tired of the Blazers beating around the bush..just tell us whats the status of the injury

 

Is that either Wed or Sun? Don't really matter to me how you post, just curious. I'll be happy if they split with SA in the next week.

 

it isnt good news , and mixum is right in this case - its a fuckin worry :/

 

Who, Oden?

 

I agree . . . although the term "explaratory surgery" and Oden is enough to make me go into denile.

I can't handle the truth!

 

I'll take that bet. PM where you wanna meet so we can shake on it.

 

so did they actually say "and likely more" or is that just mixum being mixum? i assume i know the answer.

 

How long would it take to scope it out if they were to go that route

 

at least 2-4 weeks


with oden... prob 6-8

 

the only good news is...he made th trip. why... i dont know.... but he did.

 

What gets me is the lack of information . . . or more so the information is always so positive. Remeber this started with Oden could play the all star weekend if it was a regular season game. They go from that, to day by day but probably back very soon, to probably out another week.

How about explaining what is going on. Is it that the swelling won't go down? Is it that he is experiencing pain? All we know is it is a bone chip in his knee and that the possible date of his return keeps getting pushed out . . . but why? It feels like no one wants to say exactly what is going on with GO.

 

The status is simple. A bone chipped occured when he banged knees with Magettee. The loose bone fragment cuase irratation and created swelling. They were hoping the bone chip would simply be absorbed and the swelling would go down. It still has not. So they have no clue when he will get better. If they feel they need to go in and scope the knee removing the debris then that would be the last resort, but at this time they are hoping it will be absorbed by the body.

I have no idea if this is anything remotely to being tue, and I alwys stay at Marriotts, so i guess I'm srewed..... just guessing based on bits and pieces of info that have been thrown around.

 

On courtside they said that the swelling had gone down but he still has tightness in his knee I bet you he could play infact they said he could probably play with no serious consequence but they are being careful with him and rightfully so

 

I don't want you to leave the board. I want you to be on the board saying some positive stuff.

 

Thank you . . . didn't know that.

 

it seems to me that ever since oden had the micro fracture surgery, the blazers have been overly cautious in dealing with him and even very minor injuries he suffers.

 

Thanks for the update.

 

It was during the MB update him and rudy asked him bout it

 

If it is bad news, they are going to stonewall as long as possible. If they knew about the severity of the injury all along, the failure to make a deal at the deadline was a simple case of running up the white flag on the season. Obviously, they don't want to admit that.


As for what was said on courtside - I will believe it when I see Oden on the court.
