    Yeah, good article. Too bad Greg says as many words as Nicolas and Rudy in his word association game. And love the pissed off Bayless look at the top of the page like he's always got. Just funny to me how he's the same 24/7.

    I think the word association game revealed that Greg's mindset is a bit different from his fellow Blazer rookies. It's interesting that when asked what each thought of the other rookies on our team, everyone of them used words relating to on-court demeanor/attributes, except Oden. He instead focused on the others' personality and not so much about basketball.

    I'm not sure what this means about Oden, but his perspective is apparently different than the other 3 rookies on our squad. I'm not sure if it shows that he's more sensitive than the others, or perhaps that he's not as obsessive about basketball, or something else. It's quite possible that this means nothing at all. Just pointing out what I found interesting in this well-written article. The writer was really complementary of our rookies and this city.
