Early on in the show the panelists discussed Greg Oden's return tonight. They pretty much all said that their expectations were for him to show that he can stay healthy. The last panelist (a female reporter from Boston whose name escapes me) said that the media needs to just get off his back and let him develop (amen). Well, this same reporter beat Woody Paige and got her little monologue at the end of the show. She said that Rudy Fernandez is one of the most exciting young rookies so far this season and that people need to stop looking at Oden's injury report and start watching Rudy.
Jackie MacMullan has always been very level-headed when talking about the Blazers and I have appreciated her for it.
