    Travis should've passed to Rudy.

    The offense ran so much smoother with Miller and Rudy in the game. Blake sucks.

    Wow... big surprise..... Oden with great position and our guards don't get him the ball. Where have I seen that before?

    Blazers are going to lose a point. One of Blake's 3's will be reviewed and they'll see his foot was on the line.

    Blake and Outlaw in the same lineup with Oden --> Fail.

    I just don't understand why they have so much trouble getting him the ball. It doesn't make sense. He's a huge target.

    My feed was in and out so I'm not sure but did Greg get to play much with Miller? Seems like he probably didn't with the lack of looks.

    I would like to see him get more touches, and I think he will, but Oden is BEASTING on defense. It's like night and day with last season.

    I think he showed some nerves on his early possessions, and people have moved away from feeding him. I'd expect him to get some more looks early in the 3rd. Also, it seems like he often struggles against smaller, swarming defenses -- this actually might not be the best matchup for him, offensively. As long as he controls the boards and affects every single shot in the paint, he'll be pulling his weight tonight in my book.

    Miller got him the ball a few times. In one instance, Oden returned the ball to Miller for an easy layup.
