    I'm really happy with Oden and his fouls. He did have 4 fouls but it wasn't anything like it was last year in summer league. Just think we didn't play with Frye or Blake.

    He got most of them in a really short period of time, and they were mostly ticky tack fouls.

    The New Randolph officially has more dunks as a Blazer than The Old Randolph.

    You know, I hope that he never loses the accent or broken English. As a language teacher, I know it's horrible to say, but you get the freaking greatest quotes from that guy.

    Rudy is the Yoda of this team.

    I want Rudy to dunk in the face of all body!

    Wow, most entertaining preseason game I can ever remember. It was great to hear the Sac announcers gush about what an electric atmosphere it was, they couldn't ever remember a preseason crowd like that.

    Rudy is insane. He's like a cross between Pistol Pete and Brent Barry. That shot he had was incredible. Sergio looked completely different, that was great to see him hit 3 3's.

    I didn't see much of fanfest but from what I heard, Oden looked out of shape. So he really exceeded my expectations tonight and he'll only get better when he gets in game shape with a little experience. Spender got Odenied, big time.

    Diogu looked pretty good in stretches, not so in others. Batum looked very good on defense and had a monster dunk.

    Hopefully Bayless isn't hurt too bad, he did pretty good as well. Roy, Aldridge, Joel, Outlaw & Webster all looked good, no worries there.

    Can't get too excited considering we were playing a depleted Kings team, but that was fun to watch. I'm very impressed.

    From listening to the radio, I really wished I could have made it. Rudy and Sergio sounded like they played out of their minds and Oden put up some good numbers and had just as many dunks tonight as Zach and Jarrett had in their entire career games combined.

    I'm am so happy to know that we played a hell of a game tonight.

    I know that it was just against a scrub of a basketball team missing their two best players, but damn... it feels good to be on the other end of a total blow out.

    SportsCenter highlights didn't even mention Rudy, much less show his highlights.... ?

    At least Jason Quick did.

    I thought Oden looked great. He needs to get in better basketball shape, but he still just overpowers everybody. Rudy was awesome and Sergio looks much more at ease with him in there. Brandon was Brandon. LaMarcus had a bad game, but it didn't matter. This is a special team.
