Like it has been said some of those TO's were bullshit calls. I do agree he needs to take better care of the ball but still when he gets in great deep position they have to find a way to get him the ball. One shot through 3 qtr's is just crazy against a small team like Houston. Oden didn't play that bad except the TO's. He still got rebounds, blocks and played good "D". Also Miller had some TO's but I liked his game a lot tonight. He didn't shot good but in the 1st half we played much better with him in then Blake.
Completely agree. Oden getting 3 shots is also unacceptable. But fuck, Blake over Rudy and Miller in the clutch? Nate is proving to be a bit of an ass clown.
But Oden only got three shots because he turned it over before shooting it. If he didn't turn the ball over, he would've gotten more shots.
It's true. Outlaw was the only guy who could put it in the basket consistently tonight and he was also the only guy who could take care of the ball. Yes, Joel/Oden killed on the boards and blocked shots, but you can't win without putting the ball in the hole.
I will celebrate the day when Nate no longer has Blake and Outlaw on his roster to put into his "comfort" lineup.
That's not true. What game are you watching. I remember 2-3 times he was in perfect position and didn't get the ball. They were not even trying to get the ball to him. That's is the problem not the TO's. Sure he would of had a couple more shots if he didn't make those TO's.
3 shots = 8 shots if he doesn't turn the ball over. Also- if he took care of the ball and made those shots, he would've gotten the ball even more. Oden's lack of offense tonight lies squarely on him.
