    Hey, if he helps the Celtics beat the Lakers in the Finals, he can win MVP for all I care.

    I like our tag team of starting SFs. Batum covers for Webster last year. Webster returns the favor this year. Sweet dunk.

    Shoot, Oden gets a sweet block and recover, and then a crappy foul. :(

    I think that possession shows why Oden has not gotten feeds for "auto dunks". The Rockets are doing an amazing job of swarming him, and his game isn't quite polished enough to handle it yet. Ironically, I think he's better equipped to dominate another big guy than he is this kind of small-ball.

    It's nice to see Travis using his jumping ability to rebound.

    Outlaw gets the ball to Oden but will get no credit for it. Then Oden walks but luckily, no one called it. Nice block Greg!

    Blake needs to just go away. His handling of our offense is pathetic.

    I was thinking the same thing! With his hops, there's no reason (aside from lack of desire) for him not leading the stat sheet in boards every night.

    Webster is looking good. He's hustling on D and attacking the rim. Nice to see improvement in his game.

    Scola is looking like last year's Oden with all the fouls.

    Well, at least the refs are distributing the ghost fouls fairly evenly.

    Could somebody please please please explain that substitution to me? Why the hell did McMillan take out Oden and put in Joel when everyone else but Oden was playing like shit?

    Turning into a bad night for the Outlaw and Miller detractors. On the downside, Oden's offensive improvement doesn't seem to have carried over from preseason. Thankfully, his offensive struggles don't appear to be affecting his defense and rebounding effort.
