    Obviously should be taken with a grain of salt, since it's the Wild One, but take a listen to the mp3 linked here from the first hour of today's "Wheels at Work" show.

    Rice comes on around the 16:00 mark and talks about Martell around the 22:00 mark.

    Interesting. First I'd heard from anyone there was a chance Martell could come back before the playoffs.

    Didn't they already come out and say he was done? I could of swore I saw that on Hoopshype only a week or so ago.

    Re: Mike Rice: "I would be shocked" if Martell isn't back before end of regular seaso

    This is the official word from the press release issued by the Blazers:

    Nothing definitive about that statement. Obviously Rice, based on what he's seen and heard, has reason to believe Martell is going to come back before the end of the season.

    I haven't heard Kenny Vance since 2001...what ever happened to John Lund?

    Is Rice a doctor? Has he seen his MRI?

    No?

    Then he should shut the fuck up and let those with medical degrees make the medical decisions.

    Sheesh, every talking head thinks they know more about Martell's injury than the doctors who are actually treating him.

    the thing about stress fractures is that they are not really that serious to begin with....its just rest and hoping you don't reinjure it.

    Re: Mike Rice: "I would be shocked" if Martell isn't back before end of regular seaso

    In a metatarsal?! I can't think of a worse injury to the foot; the trouble is stress fractures in the feet aren't particularly well vascularized and without a clean break the body doesn't always trigger a good healing response ... hence we are six months removed from Martell going into the boot before coming out of it.

    Re: Mike Rice: "I would be shocked" if Martell isn't back before end of regular seaso

    not true, he came out of it too early and reinjured the stress fracture I believe, which didn't completely heal.

    As a professor of orthopaedic surgery at UCLA, I say Martell will be back before the season is over!

    That was totally tongue-in-cheek. It was just BNM spoofing BNM - having a little laugh at my own expense.

    Just because I refuse to use those goofy little emoticons doesn't mean I'm not having fun.

    Re: Mike Rice: "I would be shocked" if Martell isn't back before end of regular seaso

    I wondered if anyone besides me would get the joke. That was pretty much, word-for-word, my same response to Yardape in the Oden injury thread a few days ago that led to a huge controversy.

    That response was out of character and overly harsh. In short, I was an ass. So, when I saw this thread, I couldn't resist the chance to poke a little fun at myself.

    That's just one of his many jobs. He also inspects used underwear.
