    I wish!

    In his rookie season, Bowie averaged 10 ppg & 8.6 rpg and made the All Rookie Team. I'd take that from Greg this season. Bowie wasn't all that bad (when he played), he just wasn't Jordan and either is Durant.

    If Nate coached Bowie, I assume his rookie year stats would be 2pts/1rb.

    Why draft a 7-footer if you can't draw up plays for him?

    This seems like a pointless thread. One of many.

    All Greg needs is PT and some touches. Checkmate.

    Sorry to put you down like that darizzle. You're probably the poster on this board I like the most. Strictly because of your sig picture. You change that, I hate you.

    I agree. The Oden I know we'll have is the Oden who played against Chicago, both times.

    Then why did you create this thread? Don't we have enough people creating threads just to provoke? ;)

    He can touch the ball on rebounds, and for two games he is being outrebounded by players much smaller and much less athletic than him.

    Is he hurt? His last two games are D-League material, and I don't see how anybody can say otherwise. It's odd because he shows flashes of brilliance at times for an entire game. :dunno:

    That was totally uncalled for, Chris.

    I am seriously wondering if he got hurt in the Chicago game.

    I was giving props to Sam Bowie. People equate him with being some horrible player. But he wasn't. He was a fine player who was hurt a lot. The only reason people make fun of him is because Jordan was drafted that year. But Durant is no Jordan so it's not like Greg Oden was a Sam Bowie type pick. That said, if Oden had Bowie's stats and made the All Rookie team, I'd be happy. Wouldn't you?

    I'm sorry, I was looking at her ass again, did you say something?

    But seriously, I really like your contributions to our board. You're an actual sports fan, and that is obvious. The type that likes to make good natured ribbing, and can take it, can talk shit with the best on here and take it, and isn't a 12 year old interweb dick spouting shit about his team, only looking to put down the other team. You get that too often, so it's cool to have you posting on here. For real. Not just because of her sweet sweeeeet ass.
