Blazers center Greg Oden wrote in a recent blog entry that he has had a great week of rehabilitation, according to Yardbarker.com.

"This week has been very good one for me. Last Monday was the first day that I could play 5 on 5. I felt really good out there. The first couple of games was really hard to get back in to the groove of things but after I settled down the game became a lot better for me," Oden said.

"They still haven't just thrown me into playing every game, but I play every other game and every other day. The second day was so much better for me my wind was doing okay and I slowed myself down," Oden added. "Getting out there just got me really excited for when the season starts."
