    ...secretly you're terrified that Oden is going to blow out his knee at this USA Team minicamp. I know I am. Sick, isn't it?

    Wow - I'm not the only one. Wouldn't that just be the exclamation point on this summer?

    Actually no. Back when Greg initially got injured I went into the mode of "If we get something out of him, that's great, but I count on nothing." As a Blazer fan, you just get used to getting punked with something going wrong all the time. Once you get used to it, speculation about players becoming good goes out the window, and if something good happens, it is all a bonus. JailBlazers. Drafting Martell instead of Chris Paul. It doesn't matter. It's just part of the cloud that continually hangs over the team. So when something good happens, that is what is unexpected.

    The first rule of Oden's knee is you don't talk about Oden's knee

    Good job Rasta, you probably jinxed it. I was over his injuries, and didn't even think about it either.

    me too :) hoops is a rough sport and injuries happen to almost every player. I'd struggle to come up with several players in the history of the league who didn't miss significant time to injury over a long career.

    Mostly I'm just stoked he's good to go right now and that he's not suffered any injury that should impede him long term. btw, you're a cocky SOB

    I'll be terrified if he doesn't ... but because I'll just assume he's saving it up for the regular season. :wink:
