    Thanks for the link. Appreciated.

    Glad things are progressing with Greg. Would be cool if he could return for the playoffs - and have an impact - if only to douse all those naysayers.

    Oh well. I was hoping he'd be back for the playoffs, but it doesn't look like it. It does sound like his rehab is going well though and that's a good thing.

    FINALLY!!! An article giving us some real information about Oden's surgery, and rehab. And it had to come from the Tribune - ha! Thanks Mr. Eggers.

    My favorite part:

    My thoughts exactly. Quick and Crapzano are too busy coming up with false conspiracy theories and soap opera stories regarding the Trail Blazers. The best fact and informative stuff comes from The Columbian (Brian Smith) and The Tribune.

    So if a immensely strong quad muscle contraction ripped apart the bone, whats to stop it from happening again, and why did it happen in the first place? To my knowledge, muscles contractions just don't go off and cause bones to split in half...

    FALSE.

    I've read on this here forum that Oden will not be healthy, is the next Bowie, and we should trade him for Jason Thompson.

    I've wondered the same thing. If that really is what happened, how do you train your body not to do it again? Keep from building up muscle? Practice hard at being Greg Ostertag? That's got to be a real motivator for a franchise center.

    Anyway, nice to see he's coming along. I'm reminded of one of my all-time favorite positive-spin quotes: "(Clipper's GM) Elgin Baylor is a veteran of the lottery process."

    Well, Oden is a veteran of the major injury recovery process. FWIW.

    Was there ever any evidence or thought (from real doctors) that it might have had something to do with his previously chipped patella? Was it already weakened from the previous injury?

    I've actually done something sorta similar, about a year and a half ago I was whacked in the back of head hard enough to cause my body to seize up completely. It was like 1-2 seconds of every muscle in my body contracting as hard as it could and when it was over I as just all tingly. About 20mins after that my left elbow had swelled up to the size of a softball and hurt like hell, and after going to the ER and my doctor it turned out that I cracked the base of my forearm (along with some soft tissue damage).

    No trauma whatsoever to my arm other than that one really strong contraction, and I'm like 6ft 155-160 so my arms nowhere close to the strength of Oden's quad.

    Is there still such a thing as playoff rosters that we need to fill out at the end of the regular season?

    If so, can we put Greg on there, just in case he's ready some time in May?

    youre being a homer. why are you being a homer? stop being a homer!

    oden will NOT be healthy by training camp. the injury he suffered was to his knee and thta means his career is over. NOW. think centers needs their knees? lol.

    Personally, I do think that. ;)
