    How is Ruffin in this league? Those bicepts and he can't overpower on a board?

    Ruffin was a great pickup for this team.

    Ruffin is probably some buffed dude from some random gym that has dirt on an NBA exec.

    Greg's 12/9 was one of the weakest 12/9 games I've seen.

    Uhh...me. I'd like to see Oden being more coordinated and aware on the court as someone who is hoping for more out of him than baby steps. He was getting beat pretty bad by Hadidi at several times in the game.

    But if you are happy with mediocrity, I can understand.

    Wow, I had no idea we had 9 wins of 20 or more. That's like 20% of our wins!

    And we have win 14 games by 15 or more. That means 30% of our wins have been blowouts.

    This is the kind of shit after a 20 point win that fucking drives me crazy. Haddadi was 1-2 and the grizzlies score 66 fucking points. More coordinated? What ever.

    So not only does Greg have to produce these days, he has to look like Hakeem Olajuwon doing it.

    You know, Greg was right - he can't make everyone happy. People always want to complain about something with him. It's sad.

    There's always somebody on this board who wants to piss in everyone else's cornflakes after a win. I think I'm doing a better job at ignoring them, and just focusing on the "W".

    It's like every game Oden doesn't happen to get pulled because of foul trouble, because expect him to have his 15/12 numbers with +.600 shooting. Don't forget, he will occasionally have a bad game even when given good minutes. He is still a rookie after all, and rookies are inconsistent. At the very least, he played a hard, scrappy, gritty game and managed to produce points when his shot wasn't falling. 12 points and 9 rebounds isn't exactly a bad game for 22 minutes either.

    Did you even watch the game? Greg looked very uncoordinated and his time in the game was garbage time for the most part. He certainly needs to be more aware....but he looked fine as a backup C right now, which he is right now.

    I give the Blazers props for another big win, but I want the team to improve and be perfect and am critcizing as such.

    Greg needs to be more aware on the floor. I don't think he had a good game...he had good numbers but that doesn't mean he had a good game.

    Yes i watched the game. I saw a team that won by 20 and barely tried. They had a hard time getting up for it after a while. Thy could have played better,but Greg Uncoordinated?

    He needs to be more at ease when he gets the ball...slow down a bit, get some good post moves. He's relying almost exclusively on size and strength right now. No good drop step. I'm glad he's getting some burn though for this game. He wasn't moving particularly well laterally nor was he boxing out that great. When he does get "more coordinated", we're going to get the GO we were all expecting...but right now he needs to man up.

    Did you guys read the AP recap of the game? What a bitch. Still trying to work the email angle on Miles. Either tell the whole story or stop eluding to part of the story. God I hate the media.
