ESPN Rumor Insider: Greg Oden's return uncertain?

I'm not a subscriber, so I'm hoping that someone who is will kindly relay whatever nonsense they are spewing now.

 

The title is a little misleading. I read it thinking "shit, he's never coming back?!?!"
Nothing we didnt know already.

 

Yeah - who honestly believes there's a chance in hell of Oden coming back before next season? We all want it, but we'd all be crapping our pants every game, especially after what happened with Webster last year, or what happened with Roy's hamstring.

 

I knew it. Remember a few months ago when KP said "we're not ruling that out"? There was no way in hell they were going to let him back out on that floor this season. Another injury, another summer walking around on crutches instead of working on his game, another round of Sam Bowie puns - that would be devastating for Greg, the Franchise, & the Fans.

He's not doing any Team USA this summer is he? I'll be holding my breath if he does.

 

Knew what?

 

Odens return before end of season was always a pipe dream at best. Comon man.

 

greg odens return


we will be hearing those words for the next 4 years assuming they resign him gimp ass

 

I'd be PISSED if they let Oden play this year. I might even get on the medical staff hate bandwagon...

 

Just leave already! You never cease to amaze me with your negativity. I hope you don't apply that same attitude in the rest of your daily life. Why don't you step, everybody on here is tired of your shit.

 

Greg will NOT be back this year.

 

The ignore feature is your friend.

Use it to stop feeding the troll.

 

The recovery time was 4 months which puts him about two weeks before the playoff starts. I'm guessing at the end of that 4 months is when he'll be cleared for full contact basketball activity, but I could be wrong. It may just mean he's ready for real conditioning instead of rehab work.

 

And the troll bags another victim.

 

2 things.

1. playoffs are not a lock by any means.

2. the truth on oden hurts. thats whyhcp reacted he way he did. odens a gimp.

 

The reason I reacted that way is you are cracking on a really good friend of mine who is going through a rough time. That's why. He's a good person who is injury prone, and a true Blazer fan could probably see that. Also, you'd think a true Blazer fan would support his favorite team's injured players.

 

Risk >>> Reward ... IMHO

He would be working his way into shape leaving him susceptible to other injuries. There would be a serious disruption of any chemistry and rhythm the team has managed to develop. This would NOT be erring on the side of caution so it would be a change in philosophy when dealing with Oden's injuries.

Emotionally it would be awesome, but I don't think I could handle it if it went wrong...

 

But the net result of your reply is that we get more posts from the troll about Oden...

 

And then we have to read ESPN today:

 

If MIXUM used "the n word" would he get banned? You are aware that "gimp" is a very offensive word - up there with "***". So maybe he can just shut the fuck up with that shit? Just a little?
