    4:45 89-89 Greg Oden makes two point shot
    4:45 89-89 Greg Oden offensive rebound
    4:20 Ron Artest bad pass (Greg Oden steals) 89-89
    4:01 89-91 Steve Blake makes two point shot

    After that point, we never lost the lead. :cheers:

    Why he doesn't play like that all time kills me. The potential is there!

    Absolute agreement!

    Now, how on earth do we get refs to call it straight? I HATE superstar calls.

    The foul trouble and the lack of offensive touches hurt Greg's game. On the other hand, I LOVED seeing him swish his two free throws today.

    It's hard watching him guard Yao. It's like watching Shaq try to guard Hakeem in the Finals back in 94-95.

    Just imagine if we didn't have him. Joel would foul out in 20 minutes, Lamarcus 10 minutes later and we'd be back in the 'good ole days' where we lose 12 in a row to them (or whatever the streak was).

    That put back dunk was SICK! Everybody at my friend's house jumped out of their seat!

    The best part of the night is when he got tangled with Yao and he got called for the foul. Then he popped Yao in the chest! TAKE THAT BEE-YOTCH!

    I actually thought the refs were decent tonight and most, if not all of gregs fouls were earned. My only problem is that Yao got lucky twice where he fouled Brandon and got away with it. But overall, I thought the game was called the same way in both directions.

    Yao gets away with the clearout every time. He hooks greg and they call the foul on greg. It's bullshit.

    Yeah, that dunk was incredible. The quickness that he got off the floor was tremendous, and was the old G.O. from Ohio State. Slowly but surely, we're seeing that explosiveness come back. Good going Greg!!

    I completely agree, that was great! That happen right in front of us. When he got the rebound I thought he was going to go down and then bounce back up and dunk it, but he just extended and jam it in the same motion. Very awesome!

    The bs fouls were when Blake just allowed his man to blow pass him and Oden had to pick him up.
