Some great points about feeding Greg early. Big men don't determine when they get to touch the ball offensively and if you don't touch the ball it's hard to get going. Nice to see the team getting Oden involved more and it's paid off the last two games. As I mentioned in an earlier post things seem to be slowing down for him. I think it's just a matter of time before he has a monster game 20 pts 15 rebound type game.
Best play of the game was when he hammered Ray Allen, and then got a T. It was great to see the big guy playing with passion, and I think the other players fed off that.
He pretended to want to. He was doing the "hold me back!" routine that grade school kids who don't really want to fight do.
I don't know if you could establish a causal relationship, but I see definite correlation between Mo Lucas coming back and Greg's improved decision making, moves and physicality.
Never thought of that, great point. Mo probably threatened to kick Gregs ass if he didnt' start playing like a man
I think the big difference is that now his body is responding the way he expects it to. Must have been frustrating before when he tried to do something and his body just couldn't do it.
