    We can measure our progress vs. another team? What will 15 games prove? Better than summer league or preseason.

    Perhaps rough pre-season is overstating it a bit...

    Think I'd go with "underwhelming"

    ...Or at least one person felt that way!

    Nothing. Even if Oden has a monster game and shuts down Bynum (or the reverse is true). 1 game doesn't mean anything. I think Greg will come out of the gates a little rusty, and over the course of the season improve a lot. Much like how Brandon was solid to start the year, but nothing spectacular. But by the end of the season he was playing like a vet who was going into his 5th or 6th year.

    By the end of the year, I wouldn't be surprised to see Greg rounding his average up to about 18 or 19, and about 10 or so boards.

    One game means nothing!

    Apparently some people are banking on Jermain O'Neal actually being better than Joe Smith this year.

    Especially when McMillan was limiting him to around 20 minutes a game.
