    Well folks, there's a great example of a strawman.

    Exactly. I don't get hating on people for deficiencies that are beyond their control. I can't imagine the amount of time that guy has spent rehabbing from surgeries and trying to get in game shape -- only to be broken again and again.

    So saying he's a foul-proned guy who admits he didn't take rehab seriously, and instead became a drunk, is not off-limits? Jesus, the guy is 25 years-old now. I'm not sorry that I'm not a fan of him, after the shit he pulled in Portland.

    Oh, it was hard for Greg because of Durant doing so well.
    Oh, it was hard for Greg because there is nothing for him to do in Portland.

    Give me a break. He partied even his first year here, a lot, and I know because I live 5 blocks from where his house was at the time.

    This. Where did the meme start that Oden was just an innocent bystander to his own life?

    The guy shit on the entire city of Portland when he left. He could have been a little more mature and professional, but he pulled a bitch move instead.

    Fuck Oden

    I was wondering about that. I wonder how his knees held up in college?

    The Blazers training staff said they could find nothing wrong with him, but obviously something is wrong with his body, unless it's some weird psychological thing. I wonder what role our rash of injuries had to do with the firing of Jay Jensen?

    Ironically, his knees are so bad he may actually have to hire someone to walk for him someday.

    Why don't you give me a link that shows he didn't take his rehab seriously? That is complete bullshit. You, like others, are just making shit up now.

    A lot of the Oden hate comes from this article(http://grantland.com/features/a-rar...overall-pick-greg-oden-injury-plagued-career/) and he does mention in an interview that he didn't take his Rehad as seriously as he should have and that drinking way a part of that.

    At the time, you were the board's Advocate for Canzano. You write like him. Were you his source for his anti-Oden articles?

    Rod Strickland is renowned for how much liquor he drank. I don't recall his knees exploding every season.

    Mine either, come to think of it.

    Honestly, there is no damn way Oden partied and injested as many "substances" as I did at his age. I did OK.

    And look at Mags. Mags, come out here so we can see you, dammit!!
