Yes, yes, he is. Awesome news! Props to Joel. Even a Camby/Joel tandem at center is pretty damn good.
It only makes Oden look bad if you do not know what his problem is and make an assumption. This assumption might be right, it might be completely off. Assume away.
Lol, Hey Max hope you and the family are well. How's the knee? Given our rebs tonight it will be nice to see Joel in there boxing out, I wonder if greg will ever be 100% as he wants.
Doing great, thanks for asking. I came in for the Lucas memorial, but had to split town before the Pistons game. The knee still sucks. I was scheduled for surgery, but we raised a new fund which has taken the past year of my life, so no surgery. Now I have to recondition myself all over again. I still have hope for GO. He just needs 50 games with nothing happening to him and he'll be the player we expected. Joel is a real surprise. He looks like he lost some jumping ability, but I didn't think he'd be back at all this year.
So, why is it that you have to rip on Oden every chance you get? What does Pryz coming back early have to do with Oden at all? In fact, do you even want Oden to come back at all? It sure seems like you'd prefer Oden remains hurt so you can continue on this neverending rant of him being a bust. Fuckin' unbelievable.
We should hear from HCP if Joel is really on this road trip to play Tuesday against the grizz. Otherwise I would rather have Joel start thursday with more stamina.
I think maybe Joel wants the home crowd to cheer him on coming back. That's not a bad agenda for his psyche. Maybe this will cause him to have a decent game.
