The good news is that it's actually possible he will be back playing basketball by the start of the play-offs. Not probable, but possible. And, that's good news to me. BNM
I'm not a doctor, so I'm not positive I understand how a gassed 10mpg of Oden (with a doctor-cleared, totally-healthy knee) isn't a huge positive. It's not like we don't have room to put him in a uniform and make an opposing coach think. And in a 7-game series? He can't get some run? We're playing Juwan Howard and Jeff Pendergraph at the 5 right now. They're playing pretty well. My opinion is that an out-of-shape Oden is still >> an in-shape Pendergraph at the 5 for however many minutes he can be in.
