    In and of themselves, the sentences are relatively innocuous. It's when they've been run together that I become a bit perplexed. Am I alone in this thought?

    Greg is clearly Buddhist. Lives in the moment. He knows what he has to do, but for now, he's going to enjoy this TV show.

    That's what I like about Oden. He's got his priorities straight . . .

    (Sigh.) This kid has been an enormous disappointment, as far as I'm concerned. I sure hope he gets it together next season.

    He is struggling with attachment, clearly.

    It's pretty clear what he's saying.

    I don't know about that. If he was into fortune cookies, he would have the whole weight of the Chinese people for pressure to preform, as it is he only has we Blazer fans.

    I suppose some level attachment is good...like, in one's knee ligaments.

    Well, don't be too hard on yourself...Greg's real love is philosophy. He plays ball to pay the bills, but he'd rather be a philosopher.

    The NBA needs somebody to follow up the Big Aristotle.

    I was thinking more along the lines of 'The Big Nietzsche' or 'The Big Kierkegaard', the Greeks are played out in my opinion.

    Translation: I know the fans are getting anxious, so I'll say what I have to say to make them think I care about when I come back. But, what I really care about is watching America's Best Dance Crew on MTV.

    But really though, they only thing that seems conflicting to me is ABM's age and Greg's generation.

    Not at all. In fact, I'd wager that you'd never hear/see Roy uttering these words.

    Really, my biggest issue - if you will - is that he says he's gonna have to "suck it up" (as if to say he hasn't already?), then goes right into his Best Dance crew bit. Perhaps, it's a conflict of priorities? :dunno:

    A blog is a personal thing. It is not a standard interview response. If Brandon had a blog who knows what he would say, perhaps it would go something like this:

    hamstring is feeling better hope to be back by the end of the week really tired of waiting may have to suck it up. oh no brandon jr isnt potty trained and is taking a whiz in a flower vase on the floor!!! better go clean that up PEACE

    It's a non-issue. People write blogs on computers or iphones/blackberries - usually people do this when they have free time and are generally in their room (hotel or airplane in this case) and have a tv by them. I'm glad we're reaching the point where we're persecuting the kid for ending a personal blog post talking about what he's watching on tv while writing a blog update.

    He's clearly not got his head on straight.

    I hear ya, but (besides Brandon) he is the focal-point and future of this franchise, so, naturally, his status is of the utmost concern to most fans. Plus, his latest entry seemingly was in direct response to many of the concerns lodged on his blog....as opposed to random musings on his part.

    Incomparable. Roy has a family and is years beyond the maturity of G.0. I'm sorry but it comes with the territory when you draft a player this young or "one and done." While they may have found their career path, they are by no means beyond the Pizza, Beer, and T.V mantra of any young Americans life.

    Look at Shaq he's still a big kid! Kaaaazaaam
