just got myself a new jersey, matter of fact.
This wagon is plush interior, bangin system, plenty of space to spread out and the good lookin’ lady gets me nuts

Walton and Bowie taught me all I need to know about the value of big men, and how they can return from injuries in their 20s and play productively into their 30s

Illgauskas, ditto

It sucks that Greg has only played 82 games for Portland—they obviously biffed that draft choice—as we’ll see again tonight. But what would suck even more would be to watch Oden dunking on LMA’s dome in the future

As far as the Mayan Calendar is concerned, my theory is that the high priest in charge of calculating it called it a day or a workweek after crunching out two full long cycles and said “that’s far enough into the future. Until I get my overtime paid, that’s all folks”. Nobody believing in that theory could yet explain to me why the world didn’t end already in ca. 1224 or 1618 when the last cycles ended. Or why Mayan civilization already went into decline around 900, and the Spanish also came in the middle of one to end things for good (or bad). And it’s better to predict the end of the world won’t come and then claim “see, I told you so” instead of the end happening and then saying “see, I told you so” when it won’t matter anyway. And there are so many different calendars and ways to count the passing of time around the world it’s not even funny, so I give as much weight to the Gregorian calendar as to any number of others.

As for the end Oden, who knows how to calculate that one… If 2007 was Anno Odeni, we might see the sad end of an era (as Dave pointed out before) in 2012, or the beginning of a new one.

If they wanted to shop him, that time was at least a year or two ago.

True we need another 7 footer big body for rebounding and passing out which I wouldn’t mind at all being Greg, but in reality, the salary we are paying him is minimal and trading him now would be senseless, unless we got a monster deal for him, which isn’t likely to happen.
What have we got to lose by keeping him until we find out?

Why would people boo him? Has he wronged the team or fans? He’s not Darius Miles, folks.

which I thought was just stupid…but Greg? I know there was one booing session where my friend and I were like..why are they booing .??? We didn’t know. Assumed it was Rudy since they later booed when Rudy was on the floor.

Did they show Greg on the Jumbotron or something? Greg wasn’t even at the game was he?

I can see booing LeBron James, but booing a Man that is facing lifelong dreams crumpling, is so stupid and cold. Hating on anybody that is suffering from injury doesn’t make sense at all.

…was absolutely STUPID. Disappointing that Portland fans would be so short sighted. Whatever you think about Oden, he doesn’t deserve to be boo’ed.

Blame in part “some” local media that have pre-emptively decided to raise the Oden is Done as a Blazer flag.

But mostly blame some short sighted fans.

and a writer said Bill had a “brain spur”

the more things change…Walton didn’t have a choice, he had to play in PDX in ’76-77

Greg will have a choice in July, and many “Blazer fans” will be happy to see him leave

not this one, Portland’s championship hopes will walk out the door when Oden does

mediocrity fever—catch it!

Still, I have to agree. The arthroscopic surgery doesn’t concern me that much at all, the blood clots are not good at all.

thats exactly what I said about this. Blood clots in the ankles and he’s 24 ?!
Get a player exception for a roster spot already and another big. How many games has he already missed ?

How about that Nico last night !!

Go Blazers !!!!

a buck-fitty!
