http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2008/10/commentary_greg_odens_burden.html (Apologies if there's already been discussion about this) Is anyone else scared for Spencer Hawes and Mikki Moore tonight? I'm afraid that "Motivated" Greg will want to break someone's wrist off on the rim, and then stare down Quick as if to say "Underwhelm That."
It is possible Oden has a game like that tonight but I think it is just going to take him a lot of this season to get in game shape and get past the knee operation. I think Oden would have struggled even if he didn't have the knee operation last year but now I think it just takes time after not playing for over a year and getting you mind right about your knee. I do think by late this year he will be playing a lot better then he does early this year. I really think it is next year where we are really get to see the real Oden but he will still be great this year.
The article has been discussed, but considering what GO did to Hawes and Moore the first time around I think we'll see more of the same, the interesting matchup will be Brad Miller who is actually a good NBA center.
