The lineup he shot the most in was with Miller, Blake, Webster, Howard and Pryz on the floor. The ONLY guy in that lineup capable of creating his...
Similar, if Portland had any player on the team as good at Tim Duncan. Similar if Portland had a point guard as quick as Parker. Similar if...
This trend is another reason why I am not all that torn up about Miller coming off the bench. Portlanded needed a good passing/penetrating point...
Once again, why should Oden have to be consistently great when Joel can be consistently mediocre and win the starters job.
Compared to whom, exactly. This isn't like a test where he can get an A, B, C or F. He has to outplay his competition. Which Oden has done....
Oddly enough I think the big problem with Travis right now is that he is tring to become more of a team player when he should just be jacking shots....
I completely agree. There will be growing pains. They are the pains Portland should have actually felt two years ago but injuries put them off....
I can offer one: Having Miller and Oden in the starting lineup will cause the team to get off to a slow start. They will need time to gel....
This would be because our depth is a myth. Portland is deep at two position: SG and Center. Portland is somewhat set at point guard with Blake...
This. Nate said well before training camp he was leaning towards using the same starters as last year. Then he said some bullshit about the...
Bad teams talk about effort. Good teams don't need to. It gives me no confidence this team is ready for the next level if the coach can take a...
Yes, they should have let at least Outlaw walk. No I didn't really care for the Hedo signing. I tried to talk myself into it but was never really...
It comes from Nate before camp saying that the players will decide who starts through their play. Portland has now lost 100% of all of their games...
A.) If you are comparing Oden's abilities to generate more shots and score effeciently to Iverson and Randolf, you are high. Have you even seen...
Yup. Joel is good, but he isn't an offensive threat and doesn't draw fouls. He simply isn't as good as Oden right now. I did say I could see...
How do you know he will play that much? Maybe Nate likes Joel so much he only plays Oden 22 minutes a night? That's a pretty high number for a...
This. In the first half last night Oden was the best player on the floor for Portland by far. In the second half he never touched the ball since...
This is partly because Blake and Pryz couldn't score by themselves in a whore house. This is not a good reason to hamstring the starting unit....
They don't need a consolodation trade. Portland just needs to tighten up the rotation. A 3 guard, 3 forward and 2 center rotation would be best....
I second this. His play in the second half would have embarassed a rookie coming out of high school. It was, far and away, the worst I have seen...
