knowing what has happened in Portland over the years, and in the last year, why would any guy over 6'8 sign with the Blazers? There's voodoo at work and it looks to be getting stronger
Seriously, it’s getting exhausting injuring all of these tall guys year after year. But if I don’t do it, who will?
Articular cartilage lesion, as I recall, was what led to Oden’s microfracture surgery. I don’t think that they use that much anymore. Can’t imagine why.
