No disrespect to KD, he is amazingly good and is only get better... but fuck this shit. GO is OUR guy... yes he sprained his ankle, oh well. Players like KD come around much more than players like Greg.... I'm not even sure how KD would fit in our lineup... I'm 100% happy with how our team is RIGHT NOW. I wouldn't change any draft the past 4 years (including the Chris Paul draft because how it would change everything).
gotta love the loyalty some of us have.... It's Oden for the Blazers! Once a Blazer, Always a Blazer. He is our guy! Stick with him!
Because he doesn't keep hurting the same thing over and over... Wrist... Tonsils (didn't hurt his tonsils though, lol)... Knee.... Ankle... Foot are the 5 major injuries he has had in a little over 2 years.... I think the knee was the only really major one...
i've never been to oklahoma city that i can remember, but going to college in austin, tx really is not similar to at least most parts of oklahoma in any way.
One of the main problems with Durant is that they are playing him at SG. He's a natural 3 and its ridiculous they have him at the 2 for Jeff Green.
The person who said that Oklahoma was similar to Texas (Ed O) is a Republican. I doubt his claim was politically motivated.
I remember saying on the other board that I figured it would take one month for fans to turn on Oden and call him a bust. I was off by 28 days.
I understand your point, but think it is misguided. Pounding the kid because he was rusty and not yet in 100% game shape would have been silly. Being frustrated by his inability to make it through half a game without injury is a whole different ballgame.
Durant will leave OKC as soon as possible! OKC is a horribly boring town. It's like Salt Lake City with alcohol instead of Mormons!
I wouldn't necessarily rip on KD. I don't think he's done anything to deserve it. But yes, these kinds of threads need to stop.
He got through pre-season games. This wasn't literally his first game action. It's just bad timing, symbolically, that it was the regular season opener.
