For those who have not come across it there is a interesting story in the Worcester Telegram today by  Bill Doyle (link below) explaining how if J.O.'s  injured knee becomes a chronic problem this season and if the C's win a championship this year J.O may decide to retire after this season.

I for one hope the knee hold up for the rest of this year as I think J.O.can truly help the C's win a banner this season if healthy especially come playoff time when the game becomes more of a 1/2 court power game and his length, low post defense, shot blocking, rebounding and scoring off the bench will be a big boost to the C's front court.

Also if this may be the last year for J.O. maybe it will serve as motivation for him to go all out this year and give his best effort to try to put the C's over the top and allow the C's to capture banner 18, his 1st championship and to also allow him to retire and end his career as part of a NBA World championship team.
