personally I sort of wish some of the on and off the bandwagon types would take up basket weaving or some other hobby STOMP
But weren't we hoping that by next season he'd be around a 16 & 12 guy? After an injury like this, his development is seriously set back. The guy has only played 81 NBA games going into what was supposed to be his 4th season. It's a long long haul for Greg to get to where we wanted him to be when we drafted him. Long haul. It's not like he was an established force who will just return next fall and start dominating.
Some posters have said that they are jumping ship, saying that they don't care about the team (and in some case, sports altogether) now that Greg is out.
Being a smartass doesn't change the physical evidence so far in GO's career. Something is wrong with him physically, and he's not going to be a once-in-a-generation center IMO. If that makes me Nostradamus, so be it. The reality is that the season is not over, and the team needs to focus on its next game, and how to win it.
They are called bandwagon fans. The same people who put you and me on ignore and call for us to be banned.
Oden's 21. I wouldn't give up on the guy at all. He's got a long career ahead of him, even if it takes until he's 23 to get fully healthy and in shape again.
Second that. If you could, 'THE", let him know were behind him 100%, to focus on going forward and not dwell on this, and that we look forward to seeing him back on the court.
This could make the fanbase stronger.. if we continue to find ways to win. It'd be a great rallying point.
Two weeks ago I said I was this close to being done with blazer basketball. Well, I think I'm ready to be done with it. How effin convenient for Brandon Roy, Nate McMillan and Kevin Pritchard. Back to good ol isolation basketball. Just the way Brandon Roy likes it. No more broken brain cells for Nate McMillan trying to put together a game plan that works for everyone. No more hot under the collar moments for KP. He has an out. They all have an out now. Yep, life just got easier for all three of them. And I think I'm done.

He was looking dominant when he went down this year. I expect him to be playing like this next year and to be 100%.
Like you said earlier the best relief with this news is there is no mention of ligament or tendon damage. This is purely structural and will heal. If it was additional ligament or tendon damage that would really, really hurt. All we can hope is the bone heals quick, effectively, and he's able to get back on the court and working out, practicing, and playing as soon possible without any lingering effects.
