I'm still not convinced of that, given we're talking about beating a Clippers team that didn't play Baron Davis, Ricky Davis, Tim Thomas, or Marcus Camby... (Just referring to the brutal first few weeks of our schedule, I think we'll have a good year.) Oden had a good night though.
It might just be me, but just in the last 2-3 weeks Oden looks to be in better shape than the 1st pre-season game.
Yeah, he does. He's doing exactly what we need even now, score 14-15 pts, grab double-digit rebounds, be a presence. He's just going to get better. Kind of scary..
There's some final "stat tallying" going on at staples. Maybe Oden will get the points Roy stole from him? (Yes, I'm being a bit sarcastic)
if rudy and roy are both capable of running the offense, why does bayless need to be fighting for pg minutes?
Sad, I was a user @ BBF for like 6 years as OntheRocks.... I don't write in much but I read pretty much every thread. Gonna go with Bosco this time around tho. Great stat line: Oden's line: 14 points, 13 boards, 1 assist, 1 block, 2 personal fouls in 29 mins. Kaman's: 6 points, 7 boards, 4 assist, 2 block, 1 personal foul in 32 mins.
Remember when D.Dickau was in the starting L.A.C. lineup for a while. Now he is cut. I bet he would have made a difference tonight!
Wow... looking at the highlights on TV... Oden's hops look like they're coming back. Very very impressive, along with Rudy's defense, and behind the back pass to Aldridge for the dunk. We're like a highlight show every night.

I don't think there is anyone in the league with that combination of speed and footwork in such a large frame.
Did Oden smack the glass? How soon till he get's his first "T" for hanging? Love watching it though. You can see his progression from game to game.
You see in the second dunk when Oden is heading for the dunk a guy comes over to contend and then decides to just get the fuck out of the way?
