    Dammit, I had microfracture surgery in the injury pool.

    Do they even do that anymore? I can't recall the last player I heard having it.

    It has been abandoned for professional athletes for a while. Not sure if they still perform it on the general population.

    I was thinking the same thing. Seemed like all it ever accomplished was the end of a career.

    Pretty amazing that Zbo had it done to both knees and he's still playing.

    Kinda makes you wonder if we fucked up Oden.

    Does having a loose body mean you can do the splits?

    Not likely. If I recall right, Oden had a more serious issue.

    Harkless posted a video of himself on a treadmill in his Instagram story today.

    Greg Oden played the 2015-16 season in China. He had far more rebounds and blocks per game than any teammate.

    26.7 mpg times 25 (out of 38) games = 668 season minutes. Pretty good.

    Before you say it was a lousy team...its leading scorer that season, MarShon Brooks, is the guy who beat us in Memphis on Tuesday.

    When Harkless does come back, I'm hoping we get the strong, aggressive version that we saw later in the season. The Blazers are a dangerous team when Harkless is contributing.

    Been awful quiet. Any update on Moe's status?

    Saw this on the NBA.com preview for tonight's game:

    "Portland's starting small forward, Moe Harkless, remains out after undergoing knee surgery March 27. He is expected to be back for the playoffs."

    Well, the playoffs start on Saturday. I'm curious if he'll be back by then.

    I'd actually like some sort of confirmation before I get all giddy. He was running on a treadmill 9 days ago, but not a peep about his status since.

    What do you mean by not a 'peep'? Doesn't that status on NBA.com that you just posted count as a peep?

    Not really, that's old info. He has been expected back "by the playoffs" ever since the had the surgery. It would be nice to hear something current from the team, or from Moe. We saw the tweet of him running on the treadmill 9 days ago, and nothing from him or the team since.
