On Wednesday the 13th, Portland takes on Dallas down in Texas. It will mark a five month anniversary that Blazers Players, Coaches, Fans, and myself will not forget...
It seems like only yesterday I joined the rest of the Portland media in the Courtside Lounge at The Rose Garden to hear the horrible news that Greg Oden wasn't going to be playing this season. Fast forward five months. Yes five months ago the announcement was made that he had indeed undergone micro-fracture surgery. It was a very weird Thursday morning. A friend of mine called to tell me that Yahoo Sports was reporting that Greg was out. I hadn't heard anything, so I made a few calls, got the word that it was true and made my way to the Rose Garden. It was a sad day. Fast forward to now. WOW. Things have changed. The Blazers are a few games over .500. They are sending two players to the All Star Game and the team is once again selling out the Rose Garden. Maybe things happen for a reason. I don't know what it is, or how it will turn out, but maybe just maybe....Oden '08....Worth The Wait !
