late in the 4th quarter...... Blazers down two..... Game 2 against the Rockets..... key game..... Greg Oden grabs the rebound and dunks it for the TIE!!!!

Told y'all he was clutch. How many game tying in the 4th quarter shots has Durant hit in the playoffs? How many will he hit next year? The year after? 0,0,0

See, this is what I'm talking about Eric. In one thread you're questioning whether Oden will be a disappointment, and then here you're calling him clutch. It's just very strange.

"Strange" is putting it kindly. They have a clinical term for it...
 
He isn't a consistent big time contributor, but he seems to thrive in late game situations.
 
Are you still wondering when the excuses will stop?
 
I think that so much of his fouls are because he is tentative. Look at Joel. Houston games excluded, he hasn't really been in much foul trouble at all this year. Maybe I just don't notice it because I'm always like, "Cool, now we get to see Oden," but I don't think so. But what does Joel do to not get fouls? He still plays pretty aggressive and gets quite a few blocks. I think he just knows where he's going, where he needs to be to get in the right position, and is very focused on his positions.

Greg hasn't learned that yet, and trust me, he will. But when he's playing with 5 fouls he, like Joel, is concentrating on being in the right positions to not draw a foul. Pretty soon he, like Joel, will just have that as second nature. He won't be able to avoid all fouls, obviously, but he'll learn to put himself in positions to not draw nearly as many.

I can't wait to watch him grow into a great player.
 
I don't think he gets rattled. He's been through pressure-packed situations before. I thought it was telling that Brandon, Greg, and Rudy were the ones in Game 1 that didn't have that ruh-roh look on their faces.

That's because Greg doesn't care. He has no interest in basketball.
