    Ya know, the entire premise of this thread is really fucking stupid.

    You've had it with Oden because, in your eyes, he's taking to long to rehab from an injury?

    Do you get pissed at people with cancer for taking to long to get all those mutated cells out of their bodies and get healthy again? How bout dead people for staying dead? Lazy pricks right!?!

    Be through with him for always being hurt, or fouling a ton, or not being Kevin Durant, but getting pissed he's taking to long to rehab is just fucking retarded.

    Everybody wants it both ways? WTF does that mean? That fans on this board want him hurt and healthy at the same time?

    Going out dancing and drinking would be a concern with his rehab, but he's said that he's quit/greatly reduced his drinking during this rehab, and I'd love to see some proof of him going out and dancing while he was rehabbing a broken knee cap (what was out on the floor with a cane?)

    Nothing else you said has anything to do with your original topic, the timetable for his return. Complaining about others going off topic and not answering your question but you can't be bothered to stay on topic in your criticisms?

    Unlike most in here (apparently), I'm willng to consider and address hypotheticals with limited information.

    Given what we do know (broke kneecap last year, tendinitis now), and absent any further information other than "He's just not ready yet," I will be done considering Oden a long-term major part of the team if he hasn't played by the end of the calendar year. Essentially, I would see him as relevant to the team's future as Claver or Freeland, which is to say, it'd be nice if he made a contribution, but I wouldn't expect it.

    Of course, my opinion or perception of Oden means nothing, so...

    I dont think his injuries and the length of them make him 'pathetic' nor could this really be classified as his 'bullshit' - that's a pretty antagonisingly described question really. i know what your point is, but personifying the emotional fallout of his injury into an actual characteristic is a little bit of a stretch even for you mix....

    I doubt anyone thinks that if given the choice to be healthy and playing, he wouldnt take it either.

    as far as a timetable for when things pass into the point of no return, well - that's a hard one. i'm always going to hope that he gets better and active but im already past the point of expecting or assuming it. i barely even consider greg part of the blazers these days, he's more the cherry on the top that you may or may not get.

    i stated im already disappointed .... nobody will be honest and go out on a limb with a timetable.

    if hes not back by feb... its down right disgraceful.

    and dude... if i was oden and had been stealing money from the blazers for 3 years.... i would really limit my public drinking and dancing. he doesnt care. its all talk. oden needs to shut his mouth about all star nonsense and get out there. im not some sap who buys the greg "im gonna be great crap"

    let me see it... until then hes a bust

    So Mix, is this an "Oden is a disgrace" thread or is it a "When do you give up on him thread?" You're making it kind of hard to keep up.

    Maybe I missed the announcement where it says that there's something that we can do about when Greg's healthy enough to play or that whether we're snively, pissed, whiny, or otherwise petulant about it has any influence upon the situation.

    He's under contract to play for the Blazers. I hope he's healthy enough to do so soon and that he plays up to his considerable potential. If not...life goes on.

    Greg stops getting a pass from me the moment he stops trying his hardest to get back on the court. Fortunately that's never been a problem for him in his career and I don't expect it to be one. He works hard.

    Keep on trucking, Gregory.

    actually Hasoos did. And I agree with him. Why be upset over something you cant control and is in the past? If he comes back great.. if he doesnt.. great. Not one thing we can do about it. No player is getting a "Pass" from me, because thats not my job. What I am is a fan of this team. Just like when Channing Frye was a Blazer... he made me beyond frustrated at times, but does that mean that I wouldnt hold out hope that the next shot he takes is going to go in? No. Stressing beyond the already stressful up and down nature of a basketball game is a waste of time.

    It won't be acceptable if he isn't playing by December of 2020.

    So, you've had it with Greg already. Then what??? What do you propose, now that you've had it? Do you want the team to cut him? Do you think the team gives one rat's ass whether you've had it?

    Idiotic question. Pathetic thread. About par.


    Go Blazers

    As soon as I am ready to stop giving Oden a pass, I will.

    It's your fault if you don't read the answers.

    I gave you my answer: never.

    Just because you disagree with my answer doesn't mean I'm not giving you a straight answer.
