    I missed it. Anyone catch it?

    Something to do with his lack of "participation" with the team. I think it had to do with him being in Indy, but not sure.

    Thanks

    It was written May 20 so I would assume over the weekend. I don't see what the bid deal would be.

    Again, transparency. The MSP is a sad show and they have to play the Crapzano card to try and gain relevance.

    Good for Oden, showing up early for Summer League proves how dedicated he is.

    KP had made mention that Oden was to "stay in Portland" all summer to work on re-hab. That may have notjing to do with Oden's weekend activities, though. Other than, if I'm not mistaken, Oden was spotted taking part in some dance (video?) games? I thought they were talking about Indy, though.

    I don't really care that Greg made yet another club/award appearance. That said, at some point, it would be nice to hear of him declining to attend until he accomplishes something other than making a funny ESPN commercial.

    I don't care about that. Until I hear of him not putting in the time to properly rehab from his injury I don't give a shit where he is.

    It could easily be that Oden had some scheduled off days in his rehab for whatever reasons. We don't know. And it's nothing for Oden to buy a plane ticket to Las Vegas which is about a 2-2.5 hour flight and go there for the weekend, and be back in 2-3 days.

    Idk, I've gotten over obsessing about everything little thing he does. As long as I hear he's fine and on schedule to be ready for training camp I'm happy. If he's not, something will have had to go wrong because while I'm not a doctor, I don't think it's normal to be sidelined by a fractured patella for 10 months. Who knows, though.

    I'm sorry, but Greg Oden plays basketball for me and my entertainment. He has no right to have any kind of life outside of the gym. He must work every day, all day, in Portland, under the wathchful eye of his handlers. When he isn't working he must be locked in the tallest tower in the highest castle in the land, guarded by a fire breathing dragon. No soup for you Greg Oden! No soup for you!!

    He's young and rich....if he wasn't out having fun he'd be wasting his life. If you want to sit here and say he can't have a life outside of basketball you are out of your fucking mind...As long as he comes to camp in shape I don't care if he lives at the Bunny Ranch for the summer....just come back healthy and ready to contribute next year.

    My only question might be....was he doing something (physical) in LV which could have been a detriment to his rehab?

    Chances are the thing he was "working out" in Vegas, shouldn't affect his "performance" on the basketball court. I hope.

    Now if he's on that damn 'Dance Dance Revolution' again, or getting up off a couch sized for you and me, that could mean trouble.
