In the near future, my wish

I would love to see a nice adaptation of Roy and Aldridge to Oden's inside game.

I would love to stop worrying if the next jump Oden makes will be the one that takes him out for the season.

I would love for Aldridge to take a bump and still try and shoot in the paint more.

I would love for our PG situation to be a none issue, since our big three finally get it.

I would love for Nate to take some chances during games.

I would love to see the Batum and Webster Tandem next season.

I would love for us to stop thinking we should run more, without running and do what KP designed our team to do. If that's not the case, then go 100% half court and fine tune that first, then work on other facets of the gameplan.

But most importantly, I want us to be together 100%. I don't want to hear about anything negative like a Player not comfortable with other players. Shut your mouths, act like adults and win us some fucking games!

 

Psssst. Santa Claus isn't real.

 

All I care about is Oden being injury-free. That's really the only thing that matters in regards to the Blazer's chances for NBA championship glory.

 

NNNnnnnnnnnooooOOOooOooOoooOoooooo!

 

Me too buddy. Me too. From the play he's done this season before injury, he became my favorite player. Just his "demeanor" alone set the tone of a great leader-type quality of player.

 

I want Oden to come back next year and demolish his critics.

I want Batum to come back at the all star break and show Portland what they have been missing.

I want Rudy to come back and outplay Blake so I never see that dude step on the court again.

I want Roy and LMA to stop treating playing with Oden like it's a four dimensional rubix cube. It's not that big a puzzle.

 

Actually it's probably the easiest transition if they embrace it. The more Oden demands doubles and they learn to cut to the basket, the easier the game will come to them. Oden is a very unselfish player and will pass it to them in a great position to score. He's not a Black Hole and would rather others score more if it helps his team win. I think of Oden as being a great leader, because he doesn't care about his own stats offensively. He's a guy that takes pride in his D, which is why we saw him foul so much.
