About a month ago GO said in an interview that the reason he wasn't on the bench with the blazers every home game was because he couldn't sit on the bench without his knee hurting. Now if they allowed a lazy boy to be brought in for him, we might see him at more games.
He said he was going to be back for the playoff games for sure on his radio show on 95.5. I know it's too uncomfortable for him to sit behind the bench...but I don't see why they can't find him a spot ON the bench at the end. I would assume he would like to watch the games...and I know as a fan I would like to see him around....
He was at practice last Friday before the team went to Phoenix, so I assume he is still in town and was simply in the locker room.
