Im wondering just how much pressure is on this team to make the post season? Meaning, do Allen and Pritchard expect us to play in late April? If so will Pritchard make moves at glaring holes on our roster like PG? Im just wondering if this to them is a must make post season type year for the franchise? Pesonally i ill tell ya...if we dont upgrade the PG and SF soon...no chance in hell. As far as ODen goes.....the word BUST is starting to look more and more likely.
Really it doesn't matter if Oden ends up being a bust KP can make trades from here to whenever and we won't be a championship team. We might sneak into the 8th spot if everyone plays great and we make a good trade at the deadline. If we are ever going to be a great team Oden needs to get healthy, in game shape and learn to play in the NBA. I still think he will be a great center in this league if he can stay healthy. I know that's a huge if!!
I'm not sure that I feel pressure, but I'd be willing to bet that Brandon and LaMarcus do. Seriuosly, have you ever seen either of them look so out of sorts in an NBA game, as they did last night? Hopefully the dissapointing loss will shake them out of whatever funk they were in...
Yes. This team should make the playoffs regardless of whether or not we have Oden. It's time to stop giving the team the comfort of low expectations.
