Oden going back home?
I don't know if this was talked about or not but Greg had to go back to Indianapolis over the weekend for personal reasons. Did anyone hear why?

Isn't it obvious? He's been traded to Cleveland for Larry Hughes.

He has been diagnosed with being home sick.

Greg's not from Ohio, he's from Indianapolis.

He's finishing his degree between games. Still taking freshman P.E.
Edit: Oh, the original post is changed now to Indy.

Re: Oden going back home?
As long as this came up, can I ask where he lived, which years? Can someone start at his birth and give the year of each move? Thanks.

That was my first thought. He seemed pretty home sick the last time I saw him interviewed, talking about how tough it was to be on the west coast with all his family and friends in the east/midwest. The guy's pretty young still. He's been working hard. A little R&R might be just what the doctor ordered. The Blazers will have another 15 years to work him during the season.

Check out his blog, It was the one year anniversary of when his best friend died. He went home to see his friend's family.

Dude grew up in Indy and considers that his "home". That's what I meant.

Re: Oden going back home?
I just read Greg's blog and now I understand why he went home. January 27th was the 1st anniversary of his best friend's death in a car accident. Very sad.  |

Greg needs to improve his English composition, but his heart needs no improvement.
