if you should strike Oden down he will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine

We can be like the Warriors!

The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of Greg Oden.

Wow. It's just getting ridiculous.

Oden fan for life

bummer, was looking forward to seeing him tomorrow.

I also feel bad for all the Spanish fans who fly in for this game, they will be so disappointed. Last year their were so many fans with the Spanish flag at the garden. It was amazing to see.

my father in-law just had this exact same surgery not a month ago

instantly felt better, but still takes time for inflammation to recede. hopefully rudy’s tip-top shape allows him to heal at a faster-than-normal pace.

I bet Rudys back pain is partially

from that bad fall he took from the Trevor Ariza flagrant foul. I had a bad mountain bike accident similar to Rudys fall, and to this day, I still feel pain. I kinda wondered if Rudy was playing throught the pain, he isnt the same dunker this year like he was last year. Its to bad Rudy will be out because we need all the help we can get from our remaining players.
