X-Rays for Oden on Right Foot

KGW news went with the Oden story at the top of the news and their reporter at Staples, said "Not to jump to conclusion", but if you were to go off of facial expresions of the Blazers "brass" things wern't looking very good for Oden. He left with a boot on the foot. They played a blip from Greg who said his foot was "tender", but he'd be back in the gym tomorrow.

So, guess we hope bad "facial expressions" were from the dissapointment of how the team played...

 

Hah, hah. That's the post of the year.

 

I just listened to Oden's full interview. He sounds so disappointed. I feel so sorry for him.

 

The boot thing is a little scary, not "out for season" scary.. but makes me think it'll be a week or so. Who knows.... please let it be good news!

 

Let's all pray before going to bed!

OMFG.

 

I know











































That's a kickass golf cart.

 

OK, here's the way it's going to go down.

Oden's injury will turn out to be minor, he'll miss a game or two, and then he'll come back strong, finish out the season with big numbers, lead us to a playoff berth, and be named Rookie of the Year.

We'll all look back on this little mishap at the beginning of the season and have a good laugh.

(Please, God, let it happen this way!)

 

The last thing we needed to see tonight..

 

A midfoot sprain in itself is a few weeks. That's motherf'ing crazy.

 

he tweaked his ankle..of course they'd put a boot on it for protection. After seeing the replay numerous times, it has to be a sprain. Let's just hope it doesn't linger. I feel so bad for the big fella tonight..all he wants to do is play. It was a total freak injury, just bad luck

 

From Blazers Edge:

 

Why in God's name did you have to post this picture? I saw the injury on TV and that was enough.

 

We're so fucked.

 

For the charlatans on the forum to diagnose, of course.

 

"Sweep the leg, Derek!"

 

Fisher denies hitting Oden's foot, but on the full replay it was fairly obvious that Fisher made contact with the foot.

 

I highly doubt he'd be able to play like he did with a broken bone in his foot. Looked like a sprain... X-ray would have showed a broken bone in his foot, no?

 

The sprain doesnt even look (that) bad. I mean, it's twisted, yeah, but most of his weight is on his other foot. I'm saying he'll be out for 2-3 days. Probably wont play Friday, or if he does, limited minutes, but next week, he'll be ready...

Probably should pre-tape the ankles anyway in the next 200 games.

 

I've done worse to my foot playing hoops before. I don't expect him to be out more than a week or two. When I did it, I was running full speed and I think I was out around 3 or 4 weeks. I don't think Oden's is that bad.
