Portland beat Denver at the RG by going on a late 13-2 run highlighted by Miller, Roy and Oden. It would be nice to see another “replay” of that smashing action, in the first round

the Birdman and Nene had no answer for GO

but it’s Oden and I understand he’s been injury prone but this isn’t muscular or tendon damage. It’s simply a fracture that’s healed (with the addition of a few screws I believe) if it’s healed, then it’s usually stronger than it was before it broke. If he’s pain free and healthy before the playoffs AND the Blazers pay him milliions then PLAY HIM. At the least, have him play with the second unit and give the opponents back up center nightmares.

I just don’t see many teams out there that could battle the Blazers for 7 games let alone a Center that could handle Oden for 7 games. I guess we have to wait to see if Oden can handle himself for 7 games.

he should hit the ground running next year.

He’s the kinda guy I would to love to have as a friend.

is how much he is weighing these days? I am hoping he will be closer to 260 than 285. Dave, BEN, could you get us any info on how Greg’s weight is looking?

‘Oden was averaging career highs in points (11.1), rebounds (8.5), blocks (2.3) and shooting percentage (60.5) before his injury.’ <—- nice!

but he definitely shouldn’t rush back at all!

and he can play 20 mins in a game then bring him on. Dude is 21 years old lets not forget. No matter how long he sits at home. he will still be 21 years old and athletic. plus he has already started hitting the treadmill so i doubt he wont be able run back and forth in basketball game.
