    Huh? You talk about what has been "determined". Roy says he is "bone on bone", and the LA doctor said that micro-fracture won't help him. This has literally been "determined". Now, it is about how to cope with the injury.

    You're not making much sense.

    Of course you don't. You're the king (or queen) of equivocation. It's noteworthy.

    It said his knee was jacked for a long time and the staff was treating him non stop so he could play as much as possible. It said it locked up and he couldn't unlock it himself.

    Well, the one positive about the whole Oden ordeal is that it's numbed me to this kind of news. Brandon Roy has a potentially career-ending knee problem? Cool.

    None of what you said has anything to do with what I said. I said it hasn't been determined precisely how serious Roy's condition is. None of the things you just mentioned contradicts that...it only shows that his condition is serious, which I already stipulated.

    Your angry man routine is killer. You should go on tour. I am literally scathed!

    I think the article on Blazersedge further supports this claim.

    Angry man? I said you equivocate, which you do more than any other poster on this board (or maybe you don't).

    ;)

    Well, whether or not that's true (and I'm neither saying it is or isn't, mind you!), all that shows is that I'm less likely to frame my opinion as absolute truth. I realize that there's plenty that I don't know and I'm comfortable with that.

    In the actual quote that you scorned, where I said I didn't disagree (but didn't necessarily agree), my reason for putting it that way was because I didn't think anything he believed was terribly far-fetched (thus I didn't really disagree) but, as speculative guesses I didn't see them as definitely the way things were...thus I didn't necessarily agree either. Within the bounds of reasonability but not necessarily what will happen.

    Seems like a reasonable equivocation to me (or, perhaps, not a terribly unreasonable equivocation). I can't decide.

    Minstrel likes to keep his options open. He makes reservations for Chinese AND Mexican because he's not sure how he's going to feel when it's actually time for dinner... :grin:

    That's a coincidence, because some joker started a thread about yet another orthopedic surgeon sighting at P.F. Chang's.

    Yes, yes, and yes.

    What else can you say? Anyone who knows anything about the NBA knows that you have to have two healthy knees to excel. A guy can't hobble around the court and succeed in any way, shape, or form. Roy is done, as far as I can tell, and it hurts like hell. I honestly don't know what we've done to deserve this. I've been rooting for this team for 40 years, and I thought this present team might be the one to get us back to the championship.

    Orthopedic Surgeons don't eat at PF Changs. That's soooo beneath them.

    That's an unusual name for a turtle.

    I'm sure he'll find a way to blame it on Pritchard.
