    Yeah with Blake passing the ball so well in the first quarter I could see Oden get a lot of dunks. I hope he comes back against the Rockets but it won't be so easy against Yao.

    I liked our up-temp style of play tonight, of course it started with defense. That being said I think that Oden should possibly come off the bench for once, he's quick enough to play with the second unit and could give them a low post option. The starting unit with Blake tonight just looked so smooth.

    I'm thinking Greg should use this time off to get some much needed spelling/grammar tutoring.

    I agree. Greg would have had a great game today.

    I don't care what anyone has to say, this kid has passion and the heart of a winner. Just because it doesn't show on his man-child mug doesn't mean squat. Once his skills blossom so will he.

    GO was going to make sure he does two things during the all star break . . . sleep and do absolutely nothing. :D

    I think Greg would have been just as effective in there with the first unit tonight. I hope Nate sees how efficient we played in that first quarter and how it set us up for the rest of the game. Hopefully we can use that up tempo type of offense at the beginning of games now.
