    We'd have to average 3 wins per 4 games to win 60. I think your winning streak prediction is maybe a tad shy of the end of the limb.

    Dude, I made the post about the Memphis trade. This is a new account I made because my other wasn't working.

    Sorry to build the hype......this was just a good trade idea I thought of.

    4 10 minute quarters ... who knows how long he played, but probably somewhere around 30 minutes.

    According to the article on the front page of NBA.com, he had 7 pts/8 rbs.....while Lopez went for 18/5.


    That's....not confidence inspiring. :smiley-frown: Were his minutes limited due to foul trouble and/or poor conditioning - or did Brook just :smiley-ripley::smiley-spank::smiley-love::smiley-klofa:

    Yeah I was hoping for more from Greg. That's disappointing.

    Nope, I'm pretty sure it's 10

    His line was 7 pts (3-6 FG), 10 reb, 1 stl, 1 ast, 1 blk in 24 minutes

    Also LOL cmon guys, it's an exhibition 7 seconds or less game. He barely got touches, which is not surprising considering his teammates (i.e. Rudy Gay..)

    Seems Schumann really only rates based on offensive skills or potential considering he notes that Greg was the best defensive big there and best rebounder.

    Here's Holdahl's wrap up of big GO's performance:
    http://trailblazerscentercourt.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-oden-did-at-mini-camp.html
    Pretty decent numbers considering he wasn't an offensive center piece.

    This is even more encouraging and helps explain why Lopez, Durant and others were able to blow the lead open.

    I was pretty encouraged to hear he was so spry on defense, and I remember seeing a twitter that one of those fouls (a clean block on Lopez) probably shouldn't have been called.

    Casey is a company man (but nowhere near the pollyanna that Mike Barret is) so take his summary for what it's worth, but you have to at least be somewhat encouraged
