    Yes, he only played a few minutes last night, but watching this helped me feel a little better...

    Yep, he was injured on the third play and still isn't in basketball shape. Bynum, by all reports, is in the best shape of his life.

    I'm going to remember all this negativity regarding GO and his injuries, because I want to see how quickly it's forgotten when he is dominating night in and night out.

    I missed the block. Was that when the Celtics game was still running?

    That was awesome and I can't wait for Oden to come back. He's got to be hungrier than ever right now.

    Love it, love it, love it!! Even in an otherwise disastrous game, Oden makes the highlight reel.

    he also grabbed a couple tough offensive rebounds in traffic over bynum after the sprain. couldn't finish, but still was encouraging.

    IDK what Bynum was thinking there.... just throw it up?

    Bynum is still quite raw, just like Gregory.

    Yep, they are both very raw.

    But, IMO, just from the couple plays we got to watch last night, there is absolutely no question that Greg's ceiling is far, far higher than Bynum's. Oden clearly had more power, more hops, more quickness, etc.

    Yeah, but Oden looked somewhat awkward to me. When he posted up, fumbling rebounds, etc...

    Its ok, it will smooth out w/ time.

    I love how Bynum just stands there for a second like, "What the hell just happened?" It's obvious there was no foul.

    Bynum sucked ass last night....the lobs people were throwing at him were way too forced and his down low game left something to be desired
