    Oden has hardly been the primary reason for this team's success this year. It can be argued that, at times, he hinders the flow of the offense.

    Let's not act like losing Oden is like the Lakers losing Shaq during their run.

    I think he'll be fine and I think he'll play at Minny. That may be overly optimistic, but that's how I feel about this situation. If the injury was serious he would not have traveled with the team. I think in these cases you just have to wait for the body to absorb the bone fragment so there is no more irritation.

    Maybe their strategy is to feed us the bad news in little doses. If they came out and said, "Oden out for 3-4 weeks", there would have been more of an uproar, but instead, they just keep saying, "Just a little more time, just a little more time."

    You know, shit happens when you play sports. If Corey had hit another player the same way, there's no telling how long they'd be out either. Take a look at Shaq's career. He's played under 70 games 10 seasons. Yet he was always an impact player in the playoffs.

    However, I do hope the Blazers are pumping Greg full of calcium to harden his bones. Paul Allen has billions, maybe he can find some really high tech knee pads or braces that we can "supplement" Greg with as well to try and avoid these types of injuries.

    S I was reading the OLive Oden article, and was reading the comments when I saw this...

    Hmm... The name of the guy posting it was Lakeron8. Maybe that is Mixum?

    I thought it was weird because his negativity, having the quotes in the comment, the three dots, and finishing with "Sad but true". Only thing it is missing is the caps lock and some of the spelling is off (haven't seen MIXUM spell like that).

    Anyway, here is the article if someone cares for it... http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2009/02/mcmillan_among_those_perplexed.html It is about Oden's injury (we have a thread on this as well).

    I've known that Mixum isn't a Blazer fan for a long time. When you realize that it makes it easier to understand him.

    Seriously, what is up w/oden. Why is the coach throwing him under the bus too?
    is it something worse like a crack in the knee cap, is there something we dont know?
