I Hate To Say It...

But I told you so...
It was reported today that Greg Oden will likely miss his rookie season after undergoing microfracture surgery on his knee.

Damn. Sam Bowie? Looks like Darius Miles and Oden will indeed become great friends on the pine.
Portland Trail Blazers fans have to be hating life right now. Curse of the big men with the Blazers?
Moses Malone got traded before even putting on a Blazers uniform, Bill Walton won one title with them before being marred by injuries and eventually go upset with the Blazers and left, Sam Bowie had an injury-plagued stay with the Blazers, and now Oden continues the trend.

The decision to draft Oden was not a bad one, but it sure does remind us of the Bowie-Jordan draft (1984, when Olajuwon was drafted first overall). Poor Oden. He has a long road ahead of him, just ask Amare Stoudemire, who also underwent microfracture surgery on his knee.

If I were Oden I would be calling Stoudemire right away and asking who is personal trainer is.

Mr. Glass, Mr. Glass. Maybe Kevin Durant is David Dunn (Unbreakable movie reference). This just further proves that Oden is really 40 years old.
I remember being in Portland prior to the draft and seeing billboards along the highways like this:



Portland, you should have honked twice.

Now back to my errands. I got giddy while driving and came home just for this entry.
