    " I wont be ready for camp in September"

    I mean if you can read between the lines you might also find " I could give 2 shits about the franchise or basketball" but thats if you have that ability to read between lines. Am I the only one who thought that that interview was more depressing then the game 7 200 meltdown to LA? I mean for anyone out there who wonders why kpee is getting fired in a few days/weeks... go listen to that gem of an interview.

    And before you guys flip out... in all honesty would you bet money on oden beibg ready for camp with confidence? Or will you take the oden aproach and say something like "the knee injuries are tricky and i really dont know"

    After a season like the one we just witnessed nothing would surprise me when it comes to player health.

    That interview was brutal. Either Oden had just woke up from a nap, or he is seriously down on himself. It was just ... sad. I felt bad for Greg. Dude needs a hug or something.

    I've considered it, but honestly none of us has the slightest clue about the condition of his knee and the progress of his rehab. Only Greg, his doctors and the team are privy to this.

    If you're being sarcastic, does that mean he actually can walk up stairs -- you lost me.

    That is months out, why would you judge anything he is doing now as to what his capabilities will be at the time camp opens up. It's not like his leg was cut off or something.

    I have no idea about his recovery. I am only commenting on the vibe I got from him yesterday, and it wasn't good in terms of his emotional health.

    Well unlike you Mix, when I don't have any info, I don't make it up, or in your case "read between the lines"

    And there's six more months until the start of next season ... You can hit the panic button f he's still unable to walk up stairs in July.

    I guess it depends on what the normal timetable for a broken patella is ... I freely concede I find it mildly worrisome, but I'm not quite ready to start typing in ALL CAPS and using 300 question marks or 50 misplaced exclamation points just yet.

    I tried looking online lightly and couldnt find something about recovery time. But I'm not a doctor so I am not sure.
