We have seen Greg play over 30 minutes multiple times, and he has shown that he can produce right in line with his per 36 #'s, so that argument is bunk.
playing a handful of times 30+ is nothing at all like seeing a player average 30+ for a whole season; we're talking about night in and night out consistent production, not flashes here and there. So no, it's not bunk.
I agree with you somewhat.. but at the same time I dont.. Its not like Dwight Howard has a Huge Offensive aresenal.
I don't see Oden getting many minutes against Houston. Yao is too much for him on offense. Pryzbilla's flops can put Yao in foul trouble and take him out of the game.
I am not buying this. Oden learns on the fly - and Yao is very unique - so he is totally new for Oden. We have seen Oden vs. Shaq in his first game against PHX - and he looked awful. In the 2nd and 3rd games Oden was much more effective and the Blazers won both. I will be shocked if Oden is not way better against Yao this time around.
