    Oden have a off game and you go into bash mode as usual.

    Oden gets up for big games, but does seem to have problems getting up for games that are not that big. Being inconsistent is a sign of being a rookie though.

    While I love Joel and agree we would be doing a lot worse without him, Oden did play more mins in two of the previouos 3 games. Expect more of that when we get into the playoffs.

    It is sweet though having both Joel and Oden!

    Eric, he took almost twice as many shots as Brandon freakin Roy, and only made 3. He was getting destroyed on the boards, his defense was horrendous, and he didn't know when to stop shooting. Personally, I blame Nate for not knowing when to take him out, but that doesn't change the fact that Travis was horrible last night.

    We held the Clippers to 72 points. Defense wasn't our problem last night.

    The Clippers missed a ton of wide open shots. It had very little to do with our defense.

    When an opponent scores 72 points, it has a little to do with our defense, don't you think?
