In the last 74 minutes Greg has been on the court, he has picked up a total of 3 fouls! He had 1 last night against the Suns in 29 minutes. He had 1 against the Clippers in 21 minutes. He had 1 in his last 24 minutes of playing time against Sacramento. (He had 3 for the game, 2 in the first two minutes.) This is great news for the Blazers!!! By the way, during these 74 minutes, his per 36 minute average was 21.4 points, 14.6 rebounds (with 4.0 offensive rebounds). That's pretty good.
Oden should have had 20 shots last night. He easily was looking at a 30/15 game. Get a PG in there who will use him and not jack up shot after shot.
I think this is one of the biggest things going unnoticed right now. He's moving his feet real well defensively, and is already a presence in the middle. It should only help his confidence even more if he's allowed to stay on the floor for 20-30 mins.

I know you like to say this sort of thing Papa, but seriously come on. Blake hoisted TONS of shots compared to feeding the post. Miller is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Blake at entry past to the post. Blake routinely went away from Oden who had excellent position and was screaming for the ball. If you want to hate Miller fine, but don't hate him for that which he does infinitely better then Blake (read: everything other then shoot the 3 ball).
So is every thread from here on out (positive or negative) about ANY current Blazer somehow going to be a a Miller thread? Got it.
...how many times has Greg fouled out during his entire lifetime of playing organized basketball games?! An extremely low percentage, I'm just sayin', not a primary concern
Yes.. but you see Greg not picking up those quick fouls, relegating him to the bench so he doesnt foul out.
