    Yep, I wasn't suggesting making him the first option...yet.

    One day Oden will hopefully be our first option allowing Roy to slash, spot up and create if we can't rotate crisply out of the double. Nothing like an inside game to collapse and disrupt an opposing defense.

    **Braces for he has to stay on the court long enough canned response**

    At this point everything we say about next season is conjecture based on the assumption of health of our guys.

    So luck and or chaos/randomness doesn't exist? It's all mechanistic determinism?

    There has been zero proof this is a congenital bone defect. His injuries are nothing like say Bowie's where his bones were shattering in bizarre ways.

    Simmons should run for president given the kind of mind control and meme creation ability he seems to possess. He would be dictator for life 2 years into his first term I swear to god.

    People love narratives and facts are sooooo boring "Snakebit!", "Cursed!" "Bowie 2.0!!!".

    Until it is proven that it is indeed a congenital bone defect, then I am going with they are in fact freak accidents.

    Could his bad luck streak continue? Yes, there used to be guys hired by Casino's who luck was so bad they would bring them in to counter guys on a "heater" they called them Coolers. There is a movie with William H. Macy called The Cooler. Maybe Oden is like that, I'm guessing he just had a bad luck streak which will come to an end. If it happens again I suggest we trade him to the Lakers and let them get the bad luck streak.

    I'm also willing to allow for the franchise being cursed and needing to be reincorporated to prevent future calamity.

    If maxiep has proven anything over the years, it's that he's not really much of a homer.

    I think you need a Q in there. Q for Quit hatin!

    Oden is going to be a beast in the paint. Must feed the beast!

    If for no other reason than to shut Charles Barkely up.

    And there is no more worthy goal than to shut that guy's mouth.

    At least he made it to Brian Grant's event. I'll give him that much...........even if he did spend an inordinate amount of time at the bar during the gala. :lol:

    Any luck on Chotime with Cho? Really for me the highlight last year was seeing Roy and Outlaw shoot and seeing Roy getting taped up afterwords.

    As long as he doesn't throw someone through a window it's a good night.
