Nothing. Thought I made that clear. What do you mean "blah, blah, blah, blah....." It was true and he was right. He did come back. And he was playing like a monster. Then he was hurt again. You can't take what Pritchard said 2 years ago about a different injury and apply it to today's situation. He hasn't said anything about Oden in this moment in time. Either has Cho. WHAT A GENIUS!!!!
All we heard last season after Oden went down in December were teases that he could be ready for the playoffs from KP. He was an insufferable sunshine pumper and I'm just happy I'm not being subjected to that any more. You seem to be having trouble following along.
Man, I love the offseason. A 2nd string beat reporter writes a few paragraphs about nothing and a flame war is triggered.
Well its true. It wasn't that long ago KP was telling us Greg might make it back in time for the playoffs. KP was the sunshine enema master!
That in itself is a cause for concern. The guy is what, 22? He should be healthy and raring to go by now.
Blame the decision maker who decided to give him MF surgery, Threw off his whole time-line as an NBA player. It's pretty unprecedented to have a rookie undergo a surgery like that. If it wasn't for that surgery, the latest one would have been a blip on the radar
Why couldn't that have been true at the time? Anyway my original comment had nothing to do with Pritchard. It was the fact that people were stroking Cho for doing literally nothing. "Yeah, that Cho's a genius. Love how's he not saying anything or doing anything. Especially because the guy who used to be here one time said one of our players might be back for the playoffs. I simply won't stand for that."
Nobody's calling Cho a genius, Just simply comparing him to KP, and in this case it's a refreshing difference
So we agree. I'll write it for the 3rd time. You've all somehow managed to give someone credit for doing nothing. It's like giving credit to green for not being blue.
What was the lie? Saying he "might" make it back for the playoffs? How do you know at the time there wasn't a chance? Love this new wave of Pritchard hate. Now he's a liar. EDIT: Here's Kevin Pritchard incendiary lie: General Manager Kevin Pritchard confirms Oden’s version. “It’s possible, but you know, we’ll play this by ear, and we’ll be very cautious,” Pritchard says. “We’re not going to push. We’ll let it happen naturally and follow what the doctor orders.” Is that what you all are upset about you big girls? Is THAT Kevin Pritchards big lie? Fer fucks sake.
Even more despicable Kevin Pritchard lies about Oden. All but guaranteeing his return for the playoofs: I'm so glad this liar is gone. Saint Cho is here to save us all from ourselves!!!!
Would you stop. This isn't about KP. Cho was put in a position where many GMs would have spun some fairy tale about Oden's progress. Cho didn't do that. Good for him. Not everything happening around here is about KP....and even if it was, it would be silly to bash KP for something most GMs do.
It's an interesting trend on this board these days. When Cho is criticized all you hear is KP this, KP that. It's funny. People are afraid to discuss the merits of Cho
Cho did something . . . he handled the press conference different than the way KP does and some appreciate that. You don't get that? Edit: My thoughts on this news is I don't know Cho enough to have my "cho filter" on (I had my KP filter finely tuned) . . . but I got say this is terrible news. How do you go from maybe playing in the playoffs to maybe not being ready for training class. What in the hell is going on with Oden? If he was really a maybe for playoffs or his rehab was right on schedule it should be that Oden will be good to go at training camp . . .. heck he should be good to go now. I hope this is all nothing but I am programed to think the worst when it comes to Oden's health.
If Cho does nothing as his strategy isn’t that actually doing something? I like the steel curtain approach, it feels a little more professional.
