    I think a more realistic question is: "At what point in this season does Oden start getting a pass?" I've never given Greg a "pass." I don't know a single Blazers fan who gives Oden a "pass." Everyone I know expects Greg Oden to focus on his rehabilitation, get healthy, focus on basketball, earn his paycheck, and help the team win games. Some of us even expect him to be good.

    oden has been getting a pass from blazer fans since his first summer league when he had a sinus infection. Jeez you cant make this stuff up. Its like we should have known then. Some players play on broken legs... oden misses time with the common cold.

    ok so come february and oden isnt on the court... all is good? gotcha..

    ya know somewhere in cincy... red fans thought they could beat the phillies.... lol i guess its the same thing here with oden.

    Just because you don't like posters who use logic to answer your question doesn't mean you have to act like a 12-year-old.

    Be a big boy for once.

    how are we delusional for not making a pass, or making a pass? I was pretty clear, I dont make personell decisions, so why would I get worked up over them?

    no because its like me saying "who do you think will win... giants or bears" and the person says, "i like both and will be happy either way"

    weak ass answer .... that doesn't have the person taking a stand yet trying to be almost safe. i say what i think... and am not afraid to be called out.

    Asking Mixum to carry on a discussion with logic and reason, and without exaggeration and petulance, is like a toddler to calculus.

    They lack the capacity.

    what logic?

    being delusional?

    thats the problem is you guys use all this so called logic but oden still isnt playing lol so if writing things to convince yourself about oden makes you feel better.... then go for it however deep down you cant lie to yourself.

    Funny I was going to say the same thing about you. People give you answers and you don't like them or can't understand were they are coming from so you just go on a rant about how everyone is to scared to give an answer to a question that you have now stated as not one different question but two different question. Giving up on Oden and stop giving him a free pass are two COMPLETELY different questions.
    Anyway people who throw in the towel on Oden and give up on him in noway effects if he will get back on the floor and producing. No matter how many times you say he is a bust and will never develop into anything and we should just get rid of him for a sack of potatoes because he is just stealing money from the blazers and causing fans to become "Delusional" about him playing before Christmas because we all know he won't even suit up before next year. Doesn't effect anything about how he plays or the fact that he developed TENDINITIS from rehabbing to hard.
    To answer the question, if Oden only gives us under 20 games this year then I will give up on him being part of the rotation and hope he does better in another place because I doubt we will match a MLE offer for him.

    Ah yes, more of the same.

    Start a thread with a weak premise that can't be rationally defended. Once everyone points that out, try and change to a stronger position. When that still doesn't work start calling people names to try and devalue their positions.

    Predictably amusing as always.

    what stand is there to take? I was a fan before Oden, I will be after. Not sure what you want here....

    but thank you for being bold and taking the stand you do with internet anonymity. It sure makes it alot easier for those of us who wish we could. You sir/madaam are a TRUE pioneer, and American hero.

    Here comes the part where he says everyone knows he is a DJ in bum-fucked nowhere.

    Meanwhile you, Wheels, hide behind that avatar of Homestar Runner.

    The guy is just MIX-ing. If you ignore the troll, it'll go away, I promise.

    MIXIM,

    Please explain what it means to "stop getting a pass".

    Then people can try to answer your question in terms that you can understand.

    sometimes I feel like Strong Sad has taken over posters in here with all the depression and doom and gloom.

    Mr. Strongbad would be SUCH an epic name for a real wrestler. Too bad a cartoon writer thought of it first.
