I'll say this, Oden is looking amazing tonight, but you can tell he's afraid to try to block shots now. Fouls have ruined his defensive game.
After defending Oden the past two days it sure feels good to see him play like this. Let the dude play his first NBA season! Patience!
I agree and once Oden can play for a while without getting into foul trouble I would think he would get more aggresive about blocking shots.
He'll have a great rest of the year after the all star break...just him being to compose himself with a break, reflect and gain confidence in his abilities....good things to come baby!
