Is funny how the presence or absence of one word in a sentence changes absolutely everything. Some three weeks ago we found out that Oden was undergoing " exploratory arthroscopic surgery" In the same very moment we all went "Crap!". We knew what was going to happen, we just knew it. Now, Amare is putting himself through "undergo minor arthroscopic knee surgery". I don't know about you, but I don't smell anything evil cooking in the Basketball's Gods oven. Is funny, isn't ?


Update: Nothing new or shocking. Amare will only miss less than a month.



In other unrelated business, it's good to know I'm not the only one wondering what the hell is wrong with Stephon Marbury.



Just one more thought, after reading this note , can somebody explain me why they haven't trade Chris Duhon? (Thanks to BlogaBull for the link)

Greg Oden is not a rookie this year

There’s absolutely nothing I can say about Oden’s injury that it hasn’t been told already by a better blogger. It is shame I feel sorry for Portland’s fans, I’m not going to say they deserved a huge star, because they haven’t suffer enough. All the Jail Blazers stage wasn’t the like the Basketball Gods are plotting against them, when you sign guys like Isaiah Rider and Rasheed Wallace, well you kinda are asking for it.

Sam Bowie and Bill Walton, yes, they were unlucky with those two, but there are a lot of things that drafted or sign players only to see them head the injury list year after year.Grant Hill in Orlando, Jason Williams in Chicago, Bryant Reeves in Vancouver, there are plenty of cases.

2000 Western Conference Finals, we all know what happened there, but again tons of teams have been there, that’s the NBA. Sacramento collapsed against the same Lakers two years after that, Dallas had collapsed twice in the last two post-seasons, the Lakers finally did it against the Pistons at the Finals in 2004, and the list goes on and on.

My point is, Portland is not jinxed, Boston was. Portland knew who were they picking. The Basketball’s Gods do not hate Portland, they just have the same bad luck almost everybody have had

Los Dioses en España

This is my first September as an NBA blogger, I’ve to say it sucks! Since the All - Time teams posts I have had nothing big or important to write about, event the All – Time teams posts weren’t any news. But we have international basketball to save the day. Chris Sheridan was shipped to Spain to cover the Eurobasket tournament and he brought plenty of notes. All of the NBA-ers out there, Marco Belinelli's being the surprise, if Nellie stops fighting with yet another employer, he might get the chance of coach his finding.

By far, the coolest thing that have happened on the other side of the Atlantic (or Pacific… I don’t know) is Darko´s rant against the referee, but I will address this little topic with a post of its own.

What the hell is this? Oden is having an exploratory arthroscopic procedure ¡! A ‘right, it’s out, this guy is really 40, , two intervened joints and his nowhere near 20 years old. Amazing. If you are like me and don’t know what in the name of Britney's belly is this, here's a gross video that explains it. You can go puke now

My condolescence to Britney’s fans' families, I’m sure they all die this Sunday. Go ahead, go puke again.
