Dead Spin sure looks like a gathering place for the crap..
depressing what people say..
yuk !
we have fallen far.
About: Greg Oden: Oden, The Day After

The garbage sure comes out of the cracks when somebody gets injured..
false stories,mean spirited comments and frankly some of these posters
would scare me to be in the same room with them.
The sky is not falling..
I can hardly wait for the year to start.
if Greg comes back,GREAT !!!
if Greg doesn't come back ,well we never had him play in the first place,so it's kind of hard to grieve for him.
If Brandon got injured I would take it much, much harder. We know him,have seen him play..
I wish Greg all the luck and prayers to recover.
I inly wish they wouldn't remove the posters who say good stuff about people and leave in the mean spirited posters..
weird..
About: Greg Oden: Oden, The Day After

Great article !
Great guys..
I can't say enough about how positive we feel about these players,
and how good we feel about the team as a whole.
Remember something. Greg never played one game for Portland.
It's almost like you can't miss what you never had.

I will still have fun watching the team,we had a blast with them last year,now we have added some more players. I am still glad Zach is gone
by the way..I feel like we have purged all the bad guys.(Don't bring up Darius,who by the way I have heard some positive things this summer).

Go Blazers and it's still Rip City !!
About: Top draft pick Greg Oden to miss rookie season with Trail Blazers

Wow..
I will have to add another picture to my collection.
I will find just the right picture to show the sun being blocked in Portland
by the Oden news..

I could put it right there next to the wheel chair photo.
I mean some people out in Basketball have put Oden in a wheelchair sitting there reading Sam Bowie's life story on opening night.

It is surely newsworthy that the #1 pick has had some issues..but until I see him play for one season I really have no way to comment on him.
How could I ??
The guy has never played in one game yet.

I hope he will be ready on opening night for the fun factor..I really want to see him play !!
About: Oden's knee clouds sunny outlook

Amen !
Good lord I am surprized at the haters that have come out of the woodworks
blasting away at Oden.

I even read on one blog that "it serves Portland right,they were so smug at the draft"
Smug???
You have the most humble guy in the NBA representing Portland.
What on earth did Portland do to deserve that comment ??
Be happy and over the moon at the #1 pick ?

Portland gets ragged on whether it's the Jailblazers,Frailblazers,etc.
It's odd..
Portland can't do anything right to please some folks.
We fans are estatic about this young team. Greg will be alright I am sure.

Thanks for a good article..they are rare from most sites,including your's.
About: Let's not paint young Oden with the Bowie brush

I wish him well,it surely would be a shame for both Portland and this fine young man if it turned out to be something serious.
I am thinking this won't be any big deal..(fingers crossed)
The time frame is unfortunate tho,I believe it's only 3 weeks before camp opens. Honestly,there is always something to cloud the good news.
About: Smack: Portland says 'O no!'

Holy cow !
I just saw a clip on the Blazers that had me squealing out loud !
La Marcus and Oden are are going to be a handful !

Not only do the players look good together,but this team looks to have the best chemistry in 20 years..

About: Mr. Oden makes his first impact

This is the nicest guy you would ever want to meet.
Boy am I sad to see him go.

I read somewhere his agent had said he had big buck offers and
Portland didn't want to match it. I will really be crushed if that is true and
Portland could have signed him for what Spurs offered.

This guy is a class act and will fit like a glove on your team.
Of all the teams except my Blazers,this is where I am happy he went.
I know you will treat him right. He deserves it !!
I loved this guy !
About: NBA: Udoka copies Bowen's path to Spurs

Uggg,I am sick about this.
He is one of the most popular players we have ever had.
His work ethic and hustle were unmatched,and his defense was really something. Usually he covered the best players !

He could come up with a play when nobody else could,Brandon and him had a couple beauties !


Ime,I really will miss you.
About: Udoka's next stop? Looks like the Spurs

Hey,even in the Blazer's best year's our team never made national tv.
Some of the best games in years were played by the Blazers and nobody saw them.

Talk about unfair .
About: Mr. Oden makes his first impact

Yahoooooo !
I love this guy. Denver will miss Steve. I watched the playoffs and Steve was
steady in the playoffs and can shoot to boot !
Welcome back Steve.
About: A point they know returns

Just stay out you stinkin cheater.

About: Bonds out of lineup for third consecutive game

YES !!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome home Steve Blake !!
I love ya
Hard working,quick thinking,great guy,and ohh yeah you can shoot !!!
I am so happy !!
About: Nuggets lose Blake

Steve ! Come back to Portland !
About: Karl wants Blake back at the point

He looks like he will have a very bright future plus he seems to be a very
nice kid ! What a combo.
About: Dime: Durant can do it all offensively

Yes he is !
He has been sick for a week,that doesn't help with energy I'm sure.
He will adjust just fine..
LaMarcus and Greg will be looking good.

I am much more concerned about Martell and Sergio .
This team doesn't look nearly as good when Brandon is not on the court.
Sergio plays out of control,doesnt set up LaMarcus or Greg and Martell still doesn't cut it my book.
Concerned about Greg ? Not in the slightest.
About: Dime: Oden getting better

Great article,I couldn't agree more.
Are these fellas ready as freshmen ?
About: Oden, inexperienced Blazers need chance to develop

Great article on Kevin !
I love it that he plays so close to Portland.
It will be fun to watch his great career grow.
About: Durant dealt a lesson in debut- NOLA.com

He seems like an absolute sweetheart.
I will always follow his career,and never forget how gracious he was in Portland.
I don't know how anyone would be able to turn him down on the pick.

I wish him all the sucess in the world !!
About: Durant shows signs he's a leader

Yikes,Walton for 30 million??
Whoa !
I like this guy but not for that kind of money.
About: Walton signs $30 million deal with Lakers

How can anybody stand this guy?
To me,personality can trump talent...take Zach randolph for example.
Just to get rid of him Portland took much less.

Sure Kobe is a good player,but you know what??
There are a lot of good players just coming into their own.
He has to be the drama queen with people hanging onto his last word.

This is what you wanted Korbe,you alone the star.
And you have done what with it??
Teams make it into the playoffs with less talent,so you have no excuse
You make it out to be everybody else's fault for your teams failure.
I suggest you take a real good look at yourself..you wanted it,you got it !!
