Oden: US Mini Camp Updates

[Mediocre Man]

Best tweet so far by the way

Refs calling games, and no, fouls have not been an issue

 

[Crimson the Cat]

The confidence and pride he must be feeling, finally, has to be pretty cool. I'm happy for the guy.

 

[hasoos]

Bold statement: Oden is the best center in the league right this moment (we just don't currently have NBA games going on to prove it).

Okay, maybe not. But it's encouraging that he's apparently denying all comers and it's legitimate NBA talent, and not scrubs.

Good news to hear. I firmly believe the franchises fate rest more on that guy, than anything else. Free agents make nice additions. Stars win championships. If Greg doesn't pan out, our chances are much lower. So hearing good news, is nice in a summer of bad ju-ju

 

[Wizard Mentor]

A certain Boston writer is going to Rue the Day he badmouthed Greg Oden.
We are talking about Imminent Ruage!

Go Greg! Go Blazers!

 

[Crimson the Cat]

I forgot to post this tweet:

Nate McMillan, Kevin Pritchard and Mike Born all in the gym to take in todays workout. I saved them seats, but none took up the offer

I wonder, if what they see today, allows them, or gives them the confidence, to pursue a different direction this Summer?

 

[Crimson the Cat]

Damn, where's the dude that filmed Erin Andrews when we need him!?

Looks like it's time for scrimmage. These guys have been getting after it for almost two hours, so this should be good

 

[Mediocre Man]

GO's first jump hook of the scrimmage over Lopez is money. Looked more fluid and natural than last season. Then again, it's just one shot

Make him your bitch GO

 

[ODENISGOD]

Seriously are you people this ignorant? You think the blazers twitter page is going to say something negative about greg? I mean come on this is like reading a mike barrett.

 

[Crimson the Cat]

Make him your bitch GO

Who was the poster that preferred Lopez to Oden? Or, was that a sports' writer?

 

[MAS RipCity]

I believe these tweets are from Jim Taylor of the Blazers. He's one lucky dude!

Either him or Casey, I think Casey runs the PDXtrailblazers twitter..either or...but yes, both are very lucky!

 

[Crimson the Cat]

There's that I suppose. I expect the reports from all the other media members to be just as glowing. We'll see, won't we.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I dunno??

 

[MAS RipCity]

Question to everyone: If Greg is Dwight Howard-like during this camp, do you feel more at ease with moving Joel in a package for a small forward or point guard? Or, do you like having the luxury of having a legit starting center coming off the bench?

I want Pryz..it just makes us that much better....now if we sign Lee, then yes, moving Przy becomes easier, but not if no moves are made before hand.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

I'm pretty sure it is Casey as I was under the impression that Jim Taylor is Blazersflack. Casey is pretty even headed about his commentary, and since there are multiple media members there it's not like he is saying anything that can't be refuted.

 

[illmatic99]

Is any non-Blazer employee providing similar updates?

I want to get excited about this. I really, really do. But I want to temper that excitement until an impartial source says the same stuff.

I have a friend that is a beat writer who is there as well. He is not associated in any way with the Blazers, and he said, and I quote....."Your boy Oden looks like a totally different player. He is ultra quick on his defensive rotations, and is nasty as hell"

 

[ODENISGOD]

There's that I suppose. I expect the reports from all the other media members to be just as glowing. We'll see, won't we.

Yes if I can find one of those reports after that's what I will believe not a company man like barrett or casey

 

[hasoos]

Damn, where's the dude that filmed Erin Andrews when we need him!?

Well my guess he is busy emptying folks bank accounts from all the data he stole off the computers with the virus he planted. So he is a little busy right now!

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Oh I wouldn't believe Barrett, but Casey has had criticism of Greg before and is pretty even-headed on commentary. He's not going to blast sunshine out of his ass at level 10 like Barrett.

 

[Erroneous Subterfuge]

Joel for Battier, just to make a new suggestion that I haven't reiterated in every thread ad nauseum. You know I'm just trying something new for a change.

No. Just no.




Please, STOP.

I guess that is what happens after a kid is finally cleared to do leg work after two years. Let's hope it continues to carry over.

Believe me I know he's GOD, but no way in hell you will hear anything negative, even like greg missed a shot, thats how the blazers operate. Ever read a Mike Barrett blog?

And if that same employee said Oden was a bust during the game you would say?

I'll take any good news I can this summer, and I'll enjoy it how I please. It's been a long summer of failure, and sometimes any good news can help brighten things up.

 

[ODENISGOD]

No. Just no.




Please, STOP.

NO KIDDING! This guy makes KP look like the boy genius everyone thinks he is

 

[Mediocre Man]

I couldn't agree with you more.

My friend, however, doesn't work for Portland. He's not from Portland, nor is he a fan of the team. I believe him if he says Greg looks good.

That is a terrible fucking joke of an idea.

Can you please stop throwing that out there? It makes me want to punch my LCD screen and vomit on my cat every time I read it.

LOL it would never happen

Awesome to hear! I love the mentions of quickness! That was missing last season.

No mention of Oden, though.
