Re: Bill Banyo on Oden.

you're right.

I was just about to come here and revise upward my pts prediction for him next year to 11

As a rookie, Aldridge averaged 9/5. Oden, as a rookie averaged 9/7 with all kinds of set backs and being out of shape. Aldridge made a huge jump in his second year, no reason not to expect that from Oden.

Edit for typos, twice!

Dreamcloud, now that sounds like an awesome player nickname! (Like a cross between Hakeem Olajuan and the Rainman...)

Re: Bill Banyo on Oden.

So you aren't excited about reports of Greg working his ass off in the summer? Trying to get back where he was before the major reconstructive surgery he had? Blazer fan long?

yeah all my life thanks...

i'm not excited because until i see a video of him "dominating"...thats all ive heard, every practice. greg dominates blah blah

Good point. Aldridge even averaged basically the same playing time Oden did his rookie season also.

If Oden can get the minutes Aldridge did, Oden will make just as big of leap.

Brian is an EXPERT in nutrition and natural foods. Lets hope that was part of it. Maybe he told him how much better Shaq would have been if he had stayed in shape.

Grant is a conissouir of herbal remedies alright.

Bill Bayno has done a hell of a job with the offensive side of the game for Blazer bigs in the past. I expect the same with Oden. He is really good on the footwork, and establishing position. He took Zbo and Aldridge to another level offensivly IMO.

One of the reasons I was sad to see him go last year. Now, I'm glad he's back.

I also wanted to note that people are forgetting Oden's impact on the court last season. Imagine if he hadn't been injured 21 games. The Blazers might have won 60 games. That goes to show that if he comes back stronger, faster, and healthier, the Blazers are going to surprise the league (again) this season.

Don't be fooled by this interview! Greg isn't working out for gods sakes!






(I'm joking around. )

I understand the optimism, but I realy think you are selling Joel short. Even if Oden had played 82 games, I'm not sure it would have made that profound a difference. There were too many nights he was in foul trouble, and too many nights when he just looked lost. We had some clear weaknesses last season, but having Joel at center wasn't one of them.

According to Jason Quick, Bayless never went back to Ohio State. He even giggled about something when Quick asked him about it.

That's not how it happened.

- Quick asked Bayless how Greg looked since Bayless was training with him.
- Quick said Bayless, with a little grin on his face, said he never went to Ohio State.

After that, Quick speculated maybe the Blazers are trying to keep the Oden news down to a minimum and Bayless is doing that by saying he didn't train with Greg.

I spoke to someone who was there, and Bayless was on hand with Greg as well as Mike Conley Jr.


Bayless was being coy I believe.

Wheels reported it as well in an interview with Bobby Medina that Bayless was there

Wonder why he would say that...kind of odd thing to do...

He might have been making a joke. He went to Arizona, after all, not Ohio State.
