Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? You underrate the site of a bunch of men with their mascara running down their cheeks.
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? The pf is a little larger than you think it is. There are places he could stand. Also a PJ throne means he can sit and get up easier when his knee hurts. He just can't sit for long periods of time and it's very difficult for him to get up in the limited area behind the bench at the RG. Just sitting next to Camby when they review game film can be more helpful than being in Indiana. Camby: "You see when _______ drops his foot and then pump fakes like that? As soon as you see that you know he's going to try and go left. Just step back and wait to block the shot. He never looks to pass. " Oden: "Thanks, I would just play him tight and he'd run right into me. The refs called me for the foul every time." Camby "Yeah Nate tried to tell me just to stand there too but Nate is like a pitbull. He loves contact. Wants to draw fouls. I don't like those idiots running into me and flopping themselves into my knees. Once you pick up the signs you'll know when to back off and go for the block or rebound. Oden: "Thanks! Glad I came to practice today! Solid!" Camby: "Solid!" or Oden can watch pixelated pirated streaming Blazer games in Indiana....
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? Or, he can text friends for updates, since that seems to be what is happening right now, and maybe catch a highlight on SportsCenter in between games of MOW.
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? A possibility. I'd prefer if he was watching they'd just have some type of lounge chair he could stretch his left leg out on, which is what he does in the locker room I believe on a trainer's table as well as what I imagine he does at home. When he comes back and attends playoff games and such I imagine he'll be reviewing game film with the team, and maybe he could speak with Camby then. I still demand Joel outrage, though.
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? I feel like I heard recently that he can't sit on the bench for too long because of his knee, and that he watches some from elsewhere. I also recall him saying he was going to start traveling with the team again soon. As a few others mentioned, I don't care a ton...What I care about is how he comes in next year.
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? I hope Greg is doing what's best for Greg. That being said, if it was me, I sure as FUCK would be in Portland, watching every game and living and dying with each play. WWKDD? He'd be in Portland.
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? Of course your entire made up scenario is based on the rather huge assumption that Camby is a good teacher, and that Greg can learn these sorts of things from just merely being told instead of actually doing said techniques in practice...
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? Say what? Unless his uncle is Willis Reed or John Thompson or Ewing or Hakeem or somebody, I'd like to know why his uncle's opinion is more valuable than the Blazers coaches? Shouldn't his coaches be, you know, coaching him on what moves he should work on? I laughed at the part about not being able to get Blazers games on DirectTV in Indiana. Greg, you can't get Portland Trail Blazers games on DirectTV in Portland Oregon. But in Indiana, yes you can. Go figure? As far as resting up a bit in Indiana, it sounds like that is what he's supposed to be doing. It has been reported repeatedly that he cannot sit behind the bench during games because of his knee anyway. I hope he gets back soon and spends as much time with the team as possible during the playoffs, but taking a 'break' (couldn't resist) sounds like part of his rehab. Cheers.
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? heres another question.... oden cant get league pass at his mothers for $100? is that a joke? yah.. oden really gives 2 shits about the blazers. "I FOLLOW THR GAMES ON MY COMPUTER AND GET TEXT MESSAGE UPDATES" ahahahahahahahahaha yah Greg so do casual fans.... meanwhile durant is ready for a 50 win season while greg checks the blazer score in between porn sessions.
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? now cue the oden excuses.... sadly no matter how many wanna be honest... greg is not that into basketball. he wants to get stoned, meet girls, and wake up at 3 in the afternoon on his moms couch. hey ODEN apologists.... chew on this little gem below Are you watching game film when you're at home? I don't have the game film. Not out here. I do watch the games. But, you know, my mom has DirecTV. And out here I can't get the games. A lot of times I try to get on the computer, get the text messages to my phone, the score updates, I'm asking some people, calling some people who are actually watching the game, you know, what's going on. It's difficult out here, my friends are like, the games are so late out here, plus DirecTV doesn't get those channels, it's tough. I'll find a way to watch it. This is so wrong on so many levels. the games are on late? hey greg, if you can get a signal from direct tv... you can get league pass. what a lazy unmotivated POS. he really cares... about his friends.
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? After a night to let the above quote about Direct TV settle in, I'm even more frustrated with Greg this morning. At least watch the fucking games, Greg. The lack of TV excuse is laughable. Every fucking player worth a shit has League Pass. I'm positive of that. You think Kevin Durant doesn't watch OTHER games, let alone his own games multiple times to find out what teams are doing?
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? Gee, given the spirit of this thread, I have no idea why Oden wouldn't want to be out of this fucking ridiculous fishbowl.
Re: Why is Oden in Indiana? I'm a HUGE Oden supporter. Sorry if I won't polish his considerable knob after reading this "I can't get the games" line of bullshit.
