    Durant: What do we need the anesthesia for?

    Roberts: Nothing to worry about, it's nothing out of the norm for me

    For awhile I was convinced that the Blazers medical staff was incompetent ... now, I've pretty much resigned myself to the curse/bad-luck theory (or maybe KP and co. were just idiots for ignoring red-flags on Oden and Roy?)

    If nothing else Roberts has Hawkeye Pierce levels of experience dealing with injuries

    "still growing" has no bearing whatsoever on his articular cartilage.

    If they had messed with the growth plates in his femur(s) and tibia(s) then you'd have a point.

    Logic aside, I'd bet my farm that if they had gone with a simple scope his career would have been different.

    I'm still very skeptical of our medical staff. Who's bright idea was it to have Greg put on all that extra muscle while he was rehabbing from MF surgery? BRILLIANT!

    That should not have been his decision to make (if it was really him).

    Wouldn't that have everything to do with his Physical Therapist and not his Physician?
