    Your not a bitch are you? I didn't think so. Everyone who is hyper sensitive to Oden's slow starting career has acted like a whining little child throwing a temper tantrum. What's really funny, or not so much is a lot of those fans are adults! :sigh:

    Si guey, Chichen Itza

    Once Oden is done with them, they can pass him along to Bayless, I think he will be the next on the roster that needs a little help from Stuart Smalley

    Only weak minded pussies talk about their feelings, if Greg were a "real man" TM and not a "bitch" TM he'd bury his insecurities deep down in a dark place and then bury the shovel.

    I'm down with Oden seeing a shrink . . . as long as he doesn't miss any games due to mental distress. :devilwink:

    I think Oden is going to make huge strides and be a great player for years to come, but him needing to regain the fun of basketball again should be a red flag.

    I used to love to tell everyone what to do, once I started getting paid to do it, it got stressful and became less fun, maybe an occupational shrink would work for me?

    Yep, and I especially love the part about him not taking any summer classes, but instead choosing to work on his lower body strength and hook shots. It's nice to see that basketball is on top of his priorit list. I hope he can win the MIP award this coming season.

    Good thing Oden makes a lot of cabbage . . . because it sounds like he needs to hire a trainer, a nutritionist, a coach and a shrink. :D

    I think you're off a year BBert. If memory serves, it was 2 offseasons ago that MW hired a shrink. Maybe it took a year for the benefits to take effect, but his 2007-8 season was nothing special. I'm hardly a big backer of his, but I was pleased that he finally shed the baby fat that year.

    btw, I don't think there is anything wrong with seeing a shrink/counselor, but having the yips on your shot when shooting is your meal ticket isn't a good thing.

    edit... yup, I was right on that timing

    How will a Senator from Minnesota help Oden or Bayless with their game? I know it's fucking unreal right?

    At least we know that our democratic process only selects the most qualified candidates.

    I think people might be conflating the "mystery coach/trainer" that Martell worked out with last summer for the Sports Psychologist. It's useful to keep in mind that said "mystery" man claimed that he hadn't worked out with Webster because "You weren't ready to work with me."

    definitely, but better now than when it's too late.
