    I love watching Greg Oden play basketball.

    He needs to stay in the game like he did tonight, that's for sure.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Oden: 0 turnovers, 0 fouls. Wow, especially on the fouls.

    We got more ASSISTs than they got Rebounds - seems strange in an awesome kind of way. I can't remember that happening before.

    To me, one thing sticks out as the lowlight stat of the game.

    Rebounds:
    Joel/Oden - 11 each
    Rudy - 5
    LMA - 4
    Martell - 3
    Miller, Blake, Roy - 2 each
    Bayless - 1

    The non-rebounders:
    Dante Cunningham in 3:20
    Travis Outlaw in 22:37

    For a guy who is supposedly athletic, he can't get one rebound in 22 and a half minutes while a much smaller Bayless and someone who is not supposed to be a rebounder gets one in 12 minutes.

    One trick pony.

    Yeah, sometimes its nice to have that one trick but I just don't see the justification for the time he gets. Then again, I've long been a TO naysayer.

    Gramps...

    Somewhat misleading. I remember at least a couple occasions where he went up high and tipped the rebound to someone else, like Oden often does. Didn't get credit for it but he was the reason we got the ball.

    But Denver has the tiebreaker. That's why our season is lost. All because Oden missed two free throws.

    Oden did have a great game tonight though. He should do that every night.

    We've played one game against them. What if we win the next three games against Denver? Is the season lost then?

    Please, we do not deal in numbers here, sir. This is why we willingly ignore the fact that Denver still could have won the game if Greg had made the free throws due to a little thing called several seconds left on the game clock.

    When we play this well, even Mixum exercises his right to stay silent.

    Damn, stuck with another lame "Co-champions" banner... I wish this season could have gone better.

    No, all because Outlaw missed a shot earlier in that game that he could have hit. Had he hit that shot, Portland has two extra points and Oden's free throws don't change the result.

    Outlaw destroyed the entire season with one missed shot. :(

    Nah not really. You just have to come to terms with the fact that Outlaw is not a rebounding type of player, and then it is much easier to get used to seeing hte low rebound numbers. On the bright side of things, he filled up the hoop. So he made up for it some.
