Man, I'm glad Rudy is bouncing back. I had hoped he would.
 
Yeah, if anyone has a link when it comes back from halftime pm me.
 
Our second team center has played a few seconds less than our starting center. Man I wish Nate would let Oden play.

He let him play more against the Hawks and he didn't do much.

That's EXACTLY the attitude that is slowing Oden down. The way he learns is by playing. He NEEDS to log minutes or he won't get the experience he needs to improve. If we pull him off the court every time he makes a mistake, he won't improve. Just look at Jermaine O'Neal. Perfect fucking example. He got pulled every time he messed up, and he never improved here. He went to Indy, they let him play through his mistakes, and he became a perennial all-star.

Do you want that to happen to Oden?

No offense, but J Oneal is the stupidest f'n example to use.

People trot that dead horse out every time they have some favorite player. They yell and scream and throw hissie fits. BUT ONEAL!!!! ONEEEEEEAAALLLL!!!!!!

Not every kid is ONeal, and I hardly think that having Greg stick to a foul plan is anywhere near the same time, space, or dimension as not playing ONeal at all. Greg seems to be, from what we're given to digest, okay with the plan. So take a giant chill pill and relax. He'll be fine.
 
Roy needs to keep this aggressiveness going. He's feeling it.

Don't defer now.

J O'Neal wasn't yanked because he made mistakes. He was yanked (or didn't play altogether) because there were two PFs who were much better than him on the roster.
