Really? Did he get 6 inches up in the air on his two layups? It's like when the girl's playing in the pickup game at the gym. You sag off of her to play D on the "people who count", she makes a couple buckets and everyone's busting your balls. But no one gets her the ball with the game on the line, or if you're actually trying to guard her. (PC Note: You can insert "short, old dude" for "girl" if you want. Sorry)
He's not "old Darius," but hitting all of your high percentage shots will sometimes make a positive impression on a coach. I probably shouldn't have said he's "definitely" going to play in ten games, but if I was a betting man I'd say he makes a team (if not the Cs)
Oden's got his double double....he has 3 fouls....18 minutes..i think he should start being more agressive offensively....Nate should tell him "foul out of the game"...just go after the shots
Things to take away from this game so far: -Rudy is not Brandon Roy -Bayless is a project at the point guard spot -Oden is truly a force, he just needs to get in game shape -Sergio is starting to sway me from a "hater" to a neutral party ... he can run this offense and isn't a total embarrassment on D, and hell he's even a threat to hit a few shots.
