Greg Oden out for the season, yet again.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5819493
Watching NBATV right now and they are reporting that Greg Oden will have microfacture surgery on his left knee on Friday and will miss the remainder of the season.
Too bad. Oden is a great talent, but just can't stay healthy. I feel really bad for him.
So when does the Sam Bowie questions start?

Greg Oden out for the season - again.
I don't know what it is about Portland and centers but it seems like any big man who is drafted by them succumbs to injury.

Wow, I really feel bad for him. Although we should really feel bad for the blazers and their fans because oden is making a lot of money.

Obviously Greg Oden has made a lot of money. He is making about $6.7M this year and has been paid about $20M in his career so far. His salary this year makes him the 5th highest paid player on the Blazers roster so it's not like he has some killer contract that is killing the team. He also is missing out on his first contract extension, which Durant will be paid roughly $90M over the next 5 years for example.
Hopefully he saved some of that money because he might not make it back from this.
Captain Hindsight takes on Greg Oden.
It would be easy for me to pile on and point out the ineptitude of Portland's front office now but here's the thing -- I liked the pick and I certainly wasn't alone.
One national poll before the '07 draft asked 21 of the NBA's GMs at the time one simple question, Oden or Durant? Twenty came back in one direction and no, it wasn't the guy who is now All-NBA First Team.
Hindsight could never change that. Unfortunately injuries did.

I was the 21st! Mwhahahaha. Not really. Though I would have taken Durant.

Things I have enjoyed/noticed/hated this season so far:
1) Enjoyed: Watching Chris Paul be himself again. We wrote off the Hornets even though they were a 2 seed in the west very recently.
2) Enjoyed: The deepest PG group in the league, maybe ever. Rondo, Paul, Rose, Wall, Williams, Westbrook, Nash, Kidd, Miller, Brooks, Holiday, Billups, Parker, Curry, Jennings, Harris, Nelson, and even Bledsoe. When Rubio gets here that will only go up.
3) Noticed: This slow start is the best thing that ever happened to the Heat. It will keep them somewhat humble, show them their flaws, and make them work harder. If they had come out fast, they may have regretted it later. Greatness is earned.
4) Hated: I love DeMarcus, but you can't start feuding already. Yikes.
5) Hated: Missing Rasheed and the new Technical system. That would have been beyond entertaining.

Not sure I agree, yet. The Hornets were 27-22 w/ Paul starting last year (before his injury). When Cllison took over, they went 9-20. He will be good, but I'm not ready to put him on the list yet.

But you already put Rubio on there. And Bledsoe with the Clippers 1-13.

Wow. Those were both awesome.
I've watched two or three Clips games this year and I can't figure out how they aren't better. Blake Griffin will be a Top 10 player and is a lot of fun to watch. Gordon is very solid. Kaman is streaky, but a good compliment to Griffin. Baron Fat Davis is killing them, but Bledsoe is playing well for a rookie point guard. I'm not saying this is a playoff team, but they have the worst record in the NBA and that just baffles me.
