Blazers @ Miami Game Thread: Greg Oden's Debut Do-Over

[BrianFromWA]

Roy's peeved right now. Przy just tapped Roy's layup off the rim, and then we give up more foul shots to Wade on the runout. Guh.

 

[Haakzilla]

I hate phantom whistles!!!

 

[B-Roy]

Wow, wade tripped on himself. What a bullshit call.

 

[RW#30]

what a bull... The ref was standing 3 feet away. TRAVEL!!

 

[Haakzilla]

Outlaw is too dumb to play good man-up D...he can only play zone/help side D well

 

[MARIS61]

Wade's a clumsy doofus!

 

[BrianFromWA]

They're in Miami, on ESPN, and it's Dwyane Wade. He's getting that call 99 times out of 100.

At the 4. Not the 3, and definitely not against Wade.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Block out of nowhere by Rudy. Then somehow we give up an offensive rebound and a 3 to PG Quinn, Basketball Woman.

 

[MARIS61]

Blake needs to stay somewhere in the general vicinity of his man once in awhile.

No more freebies!

 

[KingSpeed]

Quinn passed Outlaw for best three point shooter in the league.

 

[KingSpeed]

Nice block Travis!

 

[BrianFromWA]

Rudy has no conscience and no fear. I like it. That block is how Travis should be playing D...down low, and helping out from the weak side.

why is Oden only played 2 minutes? I can't catch the game right now.....

Oden has played 9 minutes.

 

[MARIS61]

Sprained ankle.

He's played nine, the boxscore is wrong

 

[KingSpeed]

Oden has played 9 minutes. Scored 2 pts.

Calm down . . . calm. He's played 9. ESPN's boxscore doesn't update accurately.

 

[KingSpeed]

Sprained ankle.

Stop it.

 

[yenniedn]

Sprained ankle.

What an ass.

 

[RoyToy]

About what I expect of Oden for a week or two. Hard to get way into it when you're winded after the first few times up and down the court. He's not very active at all.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

how does he look?

pros: at least he's back

cons: no NBA TV for the next month for me.

 

[yenniedn]

how does he look?

Gassed.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

maybe that's just the way he plays. Hopefully he gets it goin' in the 2nd half

 

[KingSpeed]

If we win and New Orleans loses, we move to 4th place in the West.

 

[BrianFromWA]

New Orleans is getting dom-in-ated right now.

 

[MARIS61]

Stop it.

Hey, I thought I sprained my ankle, but it's just a twist.

I'm going to be okay to keep posting, you can all relax now.

 

[yenniedn]

No, it looks like he's getting tired. Right before he got subbed out, he barely jumped for a rebound that he should've gotten and it went to Miami. Pretty much what you'd expect until he gets in better shape though.

 

[Tortimer]

I think he looked good at first and I wasn't expecting anything more. If everyone here is thinking Oden is going to score 20+ points your going to be very disappointed. He should have gotten a few more rebounds and I don't think he travel on the one basket that the ref's took away. I though Rudy and Sergio were trying to force the pass into Oden a couple times.
