I know I said I wouldn't post in this #&*(^#% thread anymore but had to come back in with a "BAHAHAHAHAHA" for that reply above. Comedy.
I'm sorry, but the foundation is ROY. I was so-so aboout Roy over the last couple of years - but there is no question that we have someone VERY special in Brandon. I think he will go down as one of the League's top 50 to play the game. For this to happen (and as a Blazer!) we need to build a cast of talent around him and HIS game. Oden does not help Roy's game. Pryzbilla is a better fit than Oden. Pryz doesn't clog the lane and he's ready to accept the dish when Roy does so. Oden is not our foundation. He could be a defensive-end-of-the-court monster - but I'm not so sure I see the "fire" (the kind instilled in Alonzo Mourning, for example) in his eyes. I find him quite lethargic....and I really don't think this has much to do with his knee - I think it is in his make-up. ?
No musical is guaranteed a 10 year run. If she wasn't up to the show when it was said to open, she would just be fired and that would be that. If someone can't do the job, you hire someone else. You don't wait around for her to get better which may never happen. But I'm not saying we should fire Oden.
Really? Wow, how the expectations have changed. 14 ppg, 10 rpg, 1.8 rpg, and 58% FT shooting in Oden's 5th year? I thought he was supposed to be a Hall of Fame center. Now all we can hope for is 14/10?
Exactly. Even before tonight's game I found the Oden bashing EXTREMELY premature and unnecessary. I'm sure he'll have another bad game this week, and I'll still feel the same way. It is completely unfair to judge him, or this team for that matter.
Don't count on it. All this will do is raise expectations so people can bitch even more when he has a down game.
I said pound the ball into Greg and do it often and early and great things happen!!!!! Roy didn't even need to play tonight cause the low post was secure!!!! I'm sorry, who is the hub of this team and who should they build around? If Gregs footwork gets better and he gets that dribble under control, great things coming! His best game to date!!!!
I"ve yet to bash Oden, I've only gone after the lack off coaching, play calling, and motivation given to his development both in games and in practice! I think he"s loaded with talent and have said so, and we saw but a glimpse of it tonight!
Yah whatever man...notice how half this thread completely ignores the topic, instead focusing on how worthless this thread is and how many idiotic posters this forum has? It's so true...
I feel these types of comments aren't meant to provoke or anything like that...it's more of an attempt to embarass and drive away these types of posters. Sadly, it doesn't work.
Tonight's game showed that we can expect more from Oden in year 5 than what Okafor is currently giving the Bobcats.
No it didnt LINK That game was his rookie year...check out his rookie year game log, its pretty impressive
