    Watched a few videos of this play, the only reason i'd even call that a regular foul is because of the incidental contact to Roy's face. Wasn't a flagrant at all, wasn't an intentional elbow to the face when Hibbert goes up like he did there and a player is moving his arms to try and get the ball past the tree trunks Hibbert calls his arms its pretty suprising this hasn't happened more often to Hibbert.

    There shooting 50% against memphis don't see that staying that way. Would be huge if the JAzz somehow got the win.

    6 min for Oden with 2 fouls?

    And they think he'll make an impact in the playoffs against Hibbert and Bynum?

    Pels have been playing well. Beat Miami among other teams.

    A) he made an impact defensively at the beginning of the game. If they can get that from him in 15-20 minutes, he will help.

    B) Bynum is done.

    15-20 min?

    His season high is 15 min.

    If anyone is done its Oden.

    Oden is playing minutes in big games. Bynum isn't playing at all. I think they're done with Bynum. Heat are not done with Oden.

    A few games ago Oden had 2pts 2 rebounds and 4 fouls in about 9 minutes, I gotta say, I'm far from impressed with his comeback. He's been working to get in game shape for several years and still hasn't accomplished that.

    Being in shape isn't the issue.

    His knees swell up after each games he plays in. (Via Cowherd's radio show)

    The explosion is gone and his mobility is getting worse as the season goes on.

    Minnesota is starting to look like they got a steal with Georgi Deng. That guy has been balling lately.

    Dieng isn't blocking shots like I expected but he's rebounding the hell out of the ball.

    CP3 was 0-12 from the field. Is he washed up?

    2.5 per/36 ain't bad. I was not a big fan of him coming out of college. But, after watching him play a little, I'm sold. He's a legit player.

    I'm pretty chauvinist. But, even I can admit that Doris Burke is really good at her job and could run circles around a lot of dude media pundits when it comes to hoops.
