    Roy is shooting whenever he touches the ball these days.

    Outlaw sucks. If he was any good, he would've made that 3/4 court shot. Loser.

    Bayless is +23 and Sergio is -7

    I'm just saying.

    This will be the 5th straight game that Oden has been at least solid.

    I guess your right. I just hate to take someone out with only playing 7 minutes when your really hot.

    It was a terrible, low-percentage shot. Basically a worthless possession. Thanks Travis.

    Yes, I did. I've seen the past 5 or so games also.

    Arg. Just when I'm really enjoying the game, our GAWD-AWFUL halftime team spoils the mood. Could they possibly be any more awkward?

    Well, then I dont see how you can say all Roy does is shoot when he touches the ball.

    Oden has been so active on defense and offense in the last 5-6 games. He looks like he has lost that 10-15 extra pounds which he didn't need. He moves some much better.

    Sergio is the only - on our team. Meanwhile, Bayless is +18. And you love that +/- stat.

    Then there must be a reason why Sergio is -7 and Bayless is +23, AND a reason why we went on a run right after Sergio left. (Both shifts)

    He's been doing it a lot more, that's for sure. He's much more aggressive than he was before.

    Oh yeah! Some people were bagging on Oden early in the season, saying he was a disappointment or a bust. This wasn't fair as Oden was a rookie coming off microfracture surgery and not playing ball for a year. All Oden needed was time (to learn and experience the NBA and to get his conditioning back). And all the haters needed was patience.

    I'm excited to see how Oden will continue to improve in the 2nd half of the season, next season, and beyond. I think he'll be a top center in a couple of years.

    Bayless went from +16 to +23 when all he did was go 0-2 and get scored on again by Felton, who has all 7 of his points against Bayless, and is 0-4 against Sergio.

    It wasn't me I always supported Oden and told most of those bagging on Oden they better get behind Oden if we are ever going to be a championship team. I think by the playoffs this year Oden will be dominating and next year he will be one of the top 4-5 centers in the league if not higher.

    But you can't explain why Bayless has a better +/- stat.....
