    Looks like Bynum is hurt too. Timetable to return is unknown as of now.

    hopeully it’s nothing big. He was averaging 20-10 over the last 4 game winning streak. Right now it’s being listed as a strained achillies tendon.

    when oden gets hurt, people start talking about Sam Bowie, was that not at least 20 years ago.

    because both had similarites:

    center: check

    picked by portalnd: check

    picked one spot ahead of a superstar wing player: check

    injured from day one: check

    But I agree that Oden could stil come back and be a very good center.

    Before he got injured this year Oden was looking very good. Also if he can stay healthy and just play D Portland has a very nice situation. They have the dominant perimeter scorer, the very good post scorer, the defencive wing (who is getting better on offence too), and they have a young scoreing point. If you add a center that can shut down the paint they are set.

    Sam Bowie could have been 50 years ago, people would still be talking about it.

    Bynum has been injured quite a bit during his career and this season… He’s injured his elbow, knee, hip and now his Achilles Tendon this season. He’s just as injury prone as Oden.

    On another note… I think Oden needs to start seeing an independent doctor and getting a second opinion. The same with Blake Griffin. I think their teams are mismanaging their injuries, considering both of them injured their kneecaps earlier before completely fracturing the same kneecap.

    It’s different to miss 2 years of your career back to back… It’s one thing to be like Bynum and get injured for a month then 5 months later lose another month.. But this is back to back years we’re talking about.. And it’s not just any years.. these are the 2 more important years of his career, the years he’s suppose to learn how to play the game at the NBA level.. I think he’s going to be a solid defensive player and a 10-10 guy for his career but he’s never going to live up to the hype of being the “next David Robinson”

      More like a 15-16 and 11-13 type of guy….As long as he stays healthy (super big IF) he will be fine.
