Yawn??? I take that as a very positive indicator that possibly he may be available sooner rather than later. Gramps...
For what it's worth, I was checking out my fantasy basketball team on yahoo.sports, and Greg Oden had an injury update, which came out today (8th) that said he'd be out another 1-3 weeks. That means he's probably been ruled out for the upcoming road trip. But if he's out on the court, I dunno. That's a good sign.
They don't have inside knowledge. All they're doing is substracting one week from last week's 2-4 week prognosis. I think Oden will play this week.
Just read that he's going on the trip this week in another thread, so you are correct. That's great news.
