I have nothing to do with his rehab so I have no idea what the time lines are for anything. I do know if he said a earlier time and he wasn't doing whatever by that time he'd be attacked just like he is from this casual interview during the game when he's probably paying more attention to the game.
I'm watching the replay on NBATV right now and he said it would be at least 5 months before he was running. However the context he meant was "running playing basketball". It doesn't mean he can't jog right now.
Brilliant, and so true. We haven't seen nothing yet, literally I know, but its scary to think how dominate we could be. And I think that's why everyone is so upset, they've been teased to the brink. Exactly, it's so damn easy to take things out of context, that's why I don't believe anything I hear in the media. Can't wait to see G.O. "Up and Running." Get him a dream coach please poppa PA. I'm thinking McHale, he's got love for the Blazers. It would be so pimp to have an ex-head coach as your position coach!
No. Running in this context essentially means playing basketball. If I'm going to get a run in it means I'm going to play basketball.
WTF? I seriously think that dude is made of glass. I'm starting to lean toward the side of blaming KP for that draft blunder. Seriously, if you go back, I didn't care either way. I thought Durant had just as much superstar potential as Oden.
You guys are crazy. It will be five months before he's back in Practice, Active; Running, Jumping, Playing D and going for it. That's when he'll be ready to put in work and get into game shape. That's what I'm hearing and it sounds about right to me. If he's back in action January 2012 roaring to go I'll be stoked and the Blazers will be on fire. Call my Crazy Mick, but I'd rather have Batum/Wallace/ and a questionable Superstar in G.O. than Durant by himself.
Well, even if it is only being able to run in 5 months, that only put's him at mid-august. He said himself that he won't be ready to go and back playing till at least November. I don't really get the freaking out in here about this. Sounds about right to me.... plus with the lockout looming, that will give him another couple months to recover if needed.
Looks like Yahoo sports heard it too and ran with it instead of looking at context. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ba...can-t-run-for-at-least-five-mo?urn=nba-wp1158 Sad really how a comment taken out of context can really gain traction.
"Greg Oden spent a fair portion of his Thursday morning on a treadmill at the Trail Blazers practice facility, with a towel around his neck, running." Clownzano
Not only does the guy constantly get injured, but he also seems to be a very slow healer. The good news is that no team is going to throw much money at him, IMO. The bad news is this may mean Greg accepts the Q.O. and plays for an unrestricted offer in the summer of 2012.
