I had micro-fracture surgery in Feb of this year. I pretty much had the same thing that Oden had done to his knee. I was told that my injury was something that I had had for probably a long time, but was just aggrivated by a certain _____. I just started running again about a month ago, but I am very hesistant to go up for a rebound or something like that. My knee still feels weird after I am exercising for a while. I hope Oden makes a speedy recovery, but I can truly say that this surgery takes a while to re-cover from.

Actually yeah I do keep tabs on Portland. I live here. I read just bout every Blazer article there is in the Oregonian. A local paper, with local writers who talk to Blazer's managment and officials on a daily basis...not espn. And yes you are right about the people here wanting Pryzbilla gone when the trades were on the table. But that has nothing to do with what the team is gonna do now that they still have him. Its been known for some time that they were gonna split minutes. Still doesnt mean Oden was to start every game. It is widely known that it is gonna take him a couple of years to be the dominant player people expect also. And no matter what, Joel plays good defense which was to be the main reason of playing him now that we have some offensive threats. And if you didnt know, the real person Portland wants gone is Darius Miles.
you can come at it with all your local info...im not going to argue it...but i can most likely literally post 100's of fans comments voicing their disdain for Joel...its not what the papers say, it's what the actual fans say...realgm.com will get you up to date if your sleeping...you can keep real tabs on stuff there...

I never said that I would want Joel instead of Oden //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.
i never said that you did, i dont think i even said that at all...if i did, i didnt mean it...fans wanted to make room for a vet big man or a sharp shooter at the 3 like a Hedo Turkoglu, whom they had showed interest in...a player like that or another big body...but after they didnt sign Maglore i think they softened their stance and decided to ride it out...plus offers were slow...thats according to some of the inside guys and fans...if it's gospel, i dont know...but its been voiced...

You're right. Now we dont have Magloire or Randolph....on top of not having Oden. Not only is this a loss for the season but with this injury and procedure, players have not been the same afterwards. The best people that I can think of that recovered from this is Amare Stoudemire and Jason Kidd. It doesnt look good but we can hope for the best. It just really sucks as a Blazer fan. Going through the Jail blazers, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and then this. I guess to stay positive I can look at it like we still got Brandon Roy and Lamarcus Aldridge and can still do something if we make the right moves.
