Don't play Oden until the second half. Never pull his ass out either until he fouls out. Tell him Pryzbilla plays 24 minutes and you play 24 minutes. Then eventually try and implement him into the starting rotation. LOL having 6 fouls in 2 quarters will give you 24 solid minutes of continuous playing time.
Crazy - but it might work. Or, do something else, because I am not sure Greg or Joel have the stamina for 24 minutes at a time. Please Joel the 1st and 3rd quarters. Play Greg the 2nd and 4th.
Sounds much better actually. Give them 3 fouls per quarter. I was kinda joking, but Dunleavy did this with his team with Damon and Greg Anthony.
and think about this. Let's say he only gets 1 foul in the 2nd quarter. He would have 5 fouls at his disposal for the 4th quarter. He could be extremely aggressive defensively. AND... He could carry the "scoring load" during the 2nd and be the "Defensive Stopper" in the 4th. We could literally SHUT DOWN teams in the 4th with an Oden not worried about his fouls. Then as the season progresses and he gets used to ways of not getting fouls called on him, you bring him back to the "starting rotation" and give him around 30-35 minutes a game.
Could work. Especially if Miller is the ball handler for the 2nd unit and he is actively looking for Oden on offense in the post. You be the head coach, I will be your 2nd assistant. We want MM to be the first assistant - so people (I nominate PapaG) can say - Fire Magnifier661. I want to see what MM does. If the job is not open - I want to be the coach of the dance team. Please.
LMAO! I would be So freaken lost being a coach. Even if the job was humorously given to me, I would turn yellow and run fast into the deepest reaches of the forrest and turn "Bigfoot".
No I'm serious. I have been posting in Olive since 2000. That's a really long time, during the days you had to post your moniker every time you commented. I have been called a lot of things, mainly a SUPER HOMER that doesn't see fault in this team, or the "Anti-christ" to the Laker trolls. But OMG, I know ODENISGOD and he is SOOOOOOOOOO not like me.
I only ask because you had 5 threads started out of the 10 active on my front page. You make too much sense, even if I don't agree with some of it, to be OIG!
Whew... Yeah like many that known me years ago will tell you. I am sometimes WAY OVER THE TOP and kinda overboard with posting, but my heart is always "pro-Blazers". LMAO! OIG loves to spin negativity. Normally I love spinning Blazer Homerism. Today seems a little moot since I am so extremely frustrated with our play. In fact, I'm seriously confused. I usually notorious for finding a bit of good with every bad.
