Those four faces on Mount Rushmore are always there to remind us that yes, if you do enough good deeds, you will change into a mountain when you die.
Now that Gregs out
We pretty much have to make a trade.
The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of Greg Oden.
we dont necessarily
need a knee jerk kind of trade, lets see what the time table on our injuries are
Keep the faith, Rip City!
Let’s focus on the task at hand and pray for Greg to be alright.
Wondering what moves Pritchard would make to land me a date in the off-season. Preferably one with tickets.
Lottery pick anyone?

WojYahooNBA – Prior to MRI, Port front office official tells league source they believe it’s a dislocated knee for Oden, but waiting on test results.
Fractured Left Kneecap
Out for season.

OMG
pdxtrailblazers – MRI confirms Portland C Greg Oden fractured left patella. Will undergo surgery to repair. Likely out for the season.
ironically this is probably a better result in the long run (knee cap isn’t a ligament) but worse in terms of time out of play.
i cry for nic
I don't know how you break a patella like that.
I suppose he was both backpeddling and planting and jumping at the same time.
The backpeddling locks the patella into place against the femur and tibia while the planting/jumping pulls it incredibly hard into the bones?
I’m no expert obviously. Horrible injury.
Better than a ligament break though.
I'm just not crazy about player nick names...

I agree, once the ligaments dislocate, they tend to be more prone to that. But DAMN I can't believe this just happened.

Because the training staff caused his left patella to break.

I wonder
did the cap break from impact, or get pulled apart by ligaments?
The first seems much more likely.
I would think that broken cartilage would be much easier to fix than busted ligaments… It’s slow-healing, but less structurally damaging in the long run?
I think it was this.
“Patella fractures can also occur when the quadriceps muscle is contracting but the knee joint is straightening (a so-called ‘eccentric contraction’). When the muscle pulls in this manner, the patella can fracture. "
Nothing Witty Here, move along.
Yes and no
That likely means open knee surgery, and no training for a long time. But can be good as new later.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
my thinking too...
long recovery time/long time without practice, but fewer negative long-term aftereffects than other serious knee injuries

man that just ruined my whole weekend
oden was doing really well, and showing signs of huge potential, now hes gotta go through a whole season/off season of rehab just to get back to the point he was at before tonite.
my best wishes go out to him
I know this doesn't really matter right now.
But who will be our backup Center?
Update
potentially out for the season. ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

TCU is a better team. Texas is gonna get worked by Bama and 3 unbeatens get left out.

Very lucky to do so, too.
I have no idea what McCoy was thinking with time running out, and a TO left. Wow.
I wouldn't rule out the playoffs at this point
It certainly feels like we’ve been punched right now though.
No Batum, Rudy, Oden, few minutes for Bayless.
Who are we going to place our hope in to be the next big thing?
It's a tune-out fest.
What is wrong with some of your guys comments?
So insensitive. Are you looking for a chuckle? Are you trying to look smart? what gives?

Somebody has to start a Blazer Game Day Thread over there.

A season without Greg is literally pointless if we don't run Bayless and force LaMarcus to become a defender and post presence.
It's a tune-out fest.
+1
Might has well put the team of the future on the floor. Well, what is there of it.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
The problem is however, Roy is an All--Star.
All-Stars don’t like that.
Otherwise, I would start Bayless from here on out, make LaMarcus play defense or be benched, run Martell off picks continuously and let Rudy handle the ball in the second unit.
It's a tune-out fest.
So much optimism the night we got the #1 pick
We had the R.O.Y, arguably the 2nd best player in that class as well, and a franchise C.
Now we have 1 allstar, a mediocre PF and a giant injury question mark at C.
My pessimism, already notable, just went through the roof.

this is so asinine. He made the right decision at the time. Analyzing in hindsight is incredibly lazy and I expect no better from Woj.
I’m sure a fractured kneecap was easy to predict when Oden came out of Ohio State, yeah. Great.
i cry for nic
He did have injuries in college. But so do a ton of players.
Stress fractures are something to look out for. Or microfracture while in high school. But really you never know.
But I’m sure everyone who didn’t like the pick will pile on now. Stay classy pundits.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
ouch
serious hindsight bias – no one could have foreseen these injuries.
True, Oden broke a wrist in college, but that is not a sign of serious injury-proneness. And he dealt with that injury well.
KP chose well.
Might also want to ignore these kinds of messages tonight too...

As for Bayless flopping: Yes it was one. But Lowry is a guy with no breaks, so it's hard to fault players for trying to take a charge.

I think Roy needs a few more arrodynamic grooves in his haircut. he's a step slower this yera or something

Scola and Landry's numbers suggest otherwise-- those guys scoring in the paint, LMA hoisting jumpers.
good rebounding game from LMA, but the opposing 4s much more efficient.

These red unis and this sort of scrappy play makes Portland look like Houston, eh?

Silver Lining to Oden Injury: Maybe he can replace Mike Rice as an announcer.
sorry, had to parody it.

Brooks overthought getting around Blake there.

Proof!
Brooks just passed to a ref!

5 on 2 fast break
And we get a turnover.

Unfortunate foul on Pryz. Fortunately, Landry is not exactly Dirk Nowitzki from the FT line.

Unfortunate to see LMA is playing like sissy.
He might be the least important player in the Blazers starting lineup.

It’s a no-swearing zone here (though some exceptions have clearly been made tonight). Also, probably best not to actively root for the opponent in a Blazer. gameday thread. :)
You guys have a good team, and Rick has done a great job building the offense around the healthy guys.

You know this is Blazer's Edge, not Dreamshake, right?
Dreamshake is a little dead, what with all the Longhorns out partying, but still.
They go after Blake, eh?

Blake cannot stay with Brooks.
Has this not been evident to Nate everytime we play the Rox?
Nothing Witty Here, move along.
that was all blakes fault, if he could keep brooks in front, Joel can move out on scola

Great interview from Roy.
With a shout out to Dre

nice to see an appearence from Roy '08-'09
Devastating that we can’t pair him with Oden ‘09-’10.

Oden: “I’m obviously disappointed having worked so hard 2 get 2 whr I was. ths is a setback, but I’ll B back. It’s in God’s hands now…”
