you realize that the utah game was a one point game with 47 seconds left, right? not exactly what i would call being beaten handily.
 
I watched the entire Lakers-Mavs game tonight.

I have learned and now I will post:

The Lakers are a great team. A fantastic team that could well reach the finals and give the Cs or LeBron their very best showing. I hope the Blazers get there, but I have much respect for the Lakers.

Go Blazers

Yes because we didn't beat Houston or Orlando...

I don't know if Houston has proven to be a great team yet. They've got the ability to, but until they learn how to play consistently, I can't consider them one of the great teams in the NBA. Orlando...I like them too...but again...they've been inconsistent again this year. Obviously we know what they can do, but they're still a mediocre 4-3.

Well watch another Lakers game then because that was by far their worst effort of the year. Lakers made brainfart after brainfart and STILL won
 
The Lakers had played very well this year. They should - they got the core that took them to the finals last year, with a healthy Bynum and Ariza. No surprised there.

But, let me tell you - that the Blazers play at the start of the season (first game and the road games against Utah / PHX) was not discouraging to me - because despite the fact that they were playing without 2 starters in all these games (well, we did get 4 good minutes from Oden against the Lakers) - they were only out of the Lakers game while working many new rookies into the rotation.

I still doubt that the Blazers will contend this year - but if they slowly get healthy - I will be surprised if they do not win 50 games this year.
 
^Ill give POR its props...did not expect them to start so well...but I also didnt expect the Spurs to suck so bad to start the year, Utah to miss a 10 footer to win the game, and Roy hit a 35 footer to win the game...a W is a W

It was Mike Finley who missed the 10 footer. Not Utah.
 
^ Well, he's right, the Utah Jazz are incapable of making 10 foot jumpers.
 
Plus Utah beat us. And it's tough to beat us missing a 10 footer. At least that's what I've heard.

Ed O.
 
the word is in: Oden had 22 pts & 10 rebs in his FOURTH full NBA game tonight. Bynum hasn't had a 20/10 game this season. Oden just had his 4th game. Bynum is in his 4th season.

Oden is better and younger.

Mismatch.

:lol::lol: does cfm mean check fucking mate?
 
I really do not like this thread - but I have to agree - it will be Greg's health or an effing miracle for Bynum to be a better player than Greg - and this is not because he is a bad player, on the contrary - he is a great player - but Greg is out of this world.
 
Yes. Unlike the first time they met, I believe Oden will win the next one, hands down.

No kidding.

Fellow Blazers fans: Please for the love of Christ cease and desist with the Oden> [fill-in-the-blank] crap until he's actually made it through a whole month healthy. I'm not hugely superstitious, but ... well, I'm not going to even finish that thought for fear of adding even more bad juju.

It's not like he's a china doll. He'll be fine. Enough with this "injury prone" shit.

Right, and I realize this. This is why I don't understand why you threw out the comparison of their rookie years. Everyone knew that Andrew was going to be a product. No one expected him to come in and be an instant double double as a rookie. So why you bother to even point out that Bynum wasn't productive is beyond me. Him and Oden were in completely different situations as rookies. A lot is expected of Oden, nothing was expected of Bynum. To compare rookie seasons is crazy.

And for the record, I'm not criticizing Oden's stats, I just don't see how you can argue that he's better than Bynum when he has done nothing. When Oden puts up better numbers than Bynum, then we can talk about him better. Last I knew though, Oden couldn't even stay on the court, so your argument about him being "better" is absolutely moot because you have no evidence of it. At all.

I have bad news for you. Greg Oden is a project too. He's probably showing about 30% of what he can do right now. He's scratching the surface of what he can do and he's fucking dominating the paint in stretches.

Bynum is a nice player, but it's not going to be a close comparison when it's all said and done.

I agree with this, but I don't think it matters. So far, Bynum is as good as they need him to be. I think you can argue
that Oden's not as good as we need him to be yet (but he's getting better fast!).
 
he the best thing in 20 year!
oh mf sugery
He back and still the greatest thing
oh ankle injury, he will never have a good offensive game
He scored 20/10 against a team with no C
He is the greatest of all time



....you guys are crazy

You know the best part about Oden? He can go get treatment on his knee and avoid raping a concierge.

As for MF, you do know that it's a preventative treatment for a minor injury, right? In the realm of knee injuries, Bynum's was much more serious with much longer lasting effects.

GS has no C? Who is that guy they had there than until last night had the longest double-double streak among centers in the league? Who is that guy that they have there playing in the middle who has a higher PER than Bynum?
