Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? Here is a 100% fact, and I'll give you my info to support it. The game that I bought tickets from mgb, I parked in the Garden garage. It was against Indy. Oden's bright red car was the first in the player's lot, and I know this because he drove it in his G.O. on the Go segment. Anyhow, my daughter and I left with about 5 minutes left in a 20 point game. Driving out of the garage ... guess which car wasn't in the lot?
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? Joel is an expiring contract with a team option, and by no means the future of the franchise. If Camby resigns, Joel will be cut loose. Fuck Raef LaFrentz for being in Iowa last season!
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? 1. A Phil Jackson type throne is not going to prevent him from bending his knee. 2. Having him stand would just be a horrible idea especially if a loose ball comes his way and guys go after it and run into him because he can't move out of the way. 3. Off with Joel's head.
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? My mistake. Fuck Joel as well! I went to Pioneer Square when we drafted the malcontent with the #1 pick over Kevin Durant!
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? There ya go, then. You're just a bitter little man. I just knew there was a solution in all of this.
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? I'll give you another fact. I 100% don't care, because Oden's presence at games or in Portland or his proclivity for watching his teammates play doesn't impact his ability to be ready for training camp one bit. Isn't the only important thing how he contributes next season?
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? I've heard the whole he doesn't sit on the sidelines because of his knee thing, but I remember him being on the sidelines his rookie year after MF. It's probably a good idea anyways to keepp him out of the spotlight after those texts got out, but still.
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? I think having tiny little holes drilled into your knee is a bit different than breaking your knee-cap and then having metal screws (I believe he had some metal screwed in for during the healing process) put in said knee-cap. Microfracture is harder to recover from, but I think pain wise sitting with bent knees is worse with a broken kneecap recovery.
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? Stop screeching like a housewife who's just found a suspicious receipt in he husband pants.
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? Why'd you have to remind of Tom Penn? His loss was crushing. Damn you, Fez. Damn you.
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? I said my mistake. I went to Pioneer Square when we drafted Joel with the #1 pick, and dammit, he means as much as Oden. What's your point?
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? Stop getting excited, and start posting so I can understand you. I'm guessing the panty find was the highlight of your evening, right?
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? My point is it is silly to complain about one person doing something the second person is doing but not complain about the second person doing it. If you want to justify your double-standard with pick position, then you probably already realize you're being silly and are wrong not to criticize Joel as well. Joel is pretty valuable to the bench unit, well health permitting at this point, so why is his same action not outrage worthy? Greg will be coming back to Portland - he even said they were just giving his knee a break right now. It reminds me of the humorous outrage this summer that Greg was in Ohio instead of back in Portland. Clearly his play before he went down reflected he had made a poor, poor choice.
