    Nate: It's OK. The world isn't on your shoulders Greg.

    We only want you to play 15 minutes a game and give us good defense. *rolleyes*

    This is ridiculous. On any other team, Oden would be fed the ball and we'd see a TRUE number one pick. Nate is halting Oden's development with his stupid in game decisions.

    I do think Nate isn't developing Oden like he should. Oden has looked better with his low post game and the Blazers never go into him. If I was Oden I would be thinking about leaving as soon as my rookie contract was up.

    I was going to say that maybe Nate just thinks his other players are better at this point, and he is trying to win games.

    But, if that is the case, then he shouldn't be starting Oden.

    Can we trade Nate mid-season?

    Bingo.....

    But then Oden would feel even more depressed. So Nate's probably stuck somewhere in the middle. Ugh, that just makes it worse.

    Or Maybe Nate is using benching as a tool to teach him not to commit stupid fouls?

    I think since Joel got hurt he hasn't been the same and hasn't really played all that well IMO. I think Oden has out played Joel since the wrist injury.

    That doesn't teach Oden anything. He watched all last year and sitting him on the bench as a penalty is just dumb. Lately when Oden has gotten the minutes he has played pretty well.

    Then the only stat that should matter to you should be Sergio +3, Bayless -4... :grin:

    Oden's going to pick up his 3rd foul with 8min to go in the 3rd and come out of the game just like last night.

    Roy needs to get up on Simmons. He is killing us with the 3 ptr.

    Soley because Sergio happened to be on the floor at the top of the game while Oden, LMA, and Roy did their thing to the tune of 7-0. Bayless could've done that. Right now, Bayless is having the better game.

    Sergio's defense looks like shit this half. I didn't watch the first half but it must not been as bad because Harris didn't do much.

    We are never even close to the 3 pt shooter. This gets old after they have made most of them.
