    Their play tonight is prob more indicative of what we will see early on in the season.

    Just think of the game Oden could have had, had they fed him the ball.

    frye 1 rebound in 32 minutes. takes skill for a center to avoid rebounds like that.

    Not that he's a major defensive force right now, but I think they had Stoudemire on Oden, not Charmin.

    Overall, definitely. Everyone looks ready to go.

    Can't expect this kind of rebounding every night though, considering the Blazers were middle of the pack in total rebounds last year, while being almost last in defensive rebounds.

    Can't play the Suns every night.

    I agree. I loved how the starting five played, I'm all for that five to start in the regular season. And Oden did get touches and was involved. Listening to the game I never felt he was being left out. When he left the game in the 3rd he had the 3rd most shot atempts in the starting 5 and the most freethrow attempts. That seems about what I'd expect since Roy and Aldridge are clearly options 1 & 2 on offense.

    The Blazers were #1 in rebounding differential last year at +5.4.

    :biglaugh:

    You are ridiculous.

    I agree I think Oden was looking to facilitate plays not look for his own shot. I'm not suggesting Oden was quarterbacking but rather that he was looking to pass out of the post to rotate the ball. I would have liked to see Oden be a bit more aggressive. For that matter I would have liked to see Oden...at all! Fuck you Comcast! My, my that is therapeutic.

    Outlaw leads the bench in scoring and rebounding. Blake & Oden earn the starting spots. Oden's 2 for 7 shooting didn't earn him the reward of more shots but he made his free throws, grabbed rebounds, and blocked shots. I'm perfectly happy with Oden getting 10/9/2 this season.

    Why does Blake earn the spot based on one game? Miller has outplayed Blake the whole pre-season for the most part.

    He needs more feeds. No need to stymie his development.

    Trout started horribly and picked it up in the 2nd half. I'm happy to see him get well tonight, and I expect him to play well with Miller and Rudy on the 2nd unit.

    This maybe unpopular. Whether it's good for the lineup or not. But I would almost start Miller for the purpose of making sure Oden saw his fair share of feeds.
