LOL! Someone posted this on O-Live so I thought I would share it with all of you if you hadn't seen it already.
 
Is Bynum getting some indirect love on the Blazers board tonight, or what?
 
I really question whether or not Nate knows how to utilize a big man in his offense.
 
I love that video

thanks for pointing out how awesome Bynum is (knock on wood)

He learned from the coaches he had. And the best center he ever played with was Alton Lister. Second best was Michael Cage, a forward playing center. So McMillan has no idea how to use a good center.

Mo knows!
 
I totally agree, but today it was Oden's fault for getting the ball stripped like 4 times. We need an inside threat and Oden can be that. Were not going to advance far into the playoffs without a low post threat. Blake and Outlaw for Carl Landry, lets get it done! Too bad the Rockets are already stacked at the 3 and 4 positions.
 
Oden shouldn't be our go-to guy, not even close, he doesn't have good enough hands or the motivation to give you 20 per game, and when he does do that, it doesn't always benefit the team. Make him the anchor of our defense, this year's Batum, he'll score when he has the chance but we don't need to "utilize" him.
 
Furthermore, it'll probably be easier for him to get the ball and score against bigger, slower inside-players than the ones the Rockets have.

If he cant dominate players like hayes and landry, it's kinda sad. Let's just hope he had opening night jitters.

No. Wrong. This is the type of shit that makes Bynumb look like a classless, crybaby bitch.

Oden has class and wouldn't act like this. He just blocks shots and grabs boards.
 
Oden needs more than 3 shots per game. He doesn't need 20, but he definately needs 10. Portland has to start realizing that without a low post threat, they will be beat again in the playoffs.
 
Which one of the Blazers is the one Oden calls Vujacic?

I think we should really question the way Nate is coaching Oden - if Oden thinks Vujacic is one of his teammates.

He has the frame and the talent. The question is does he have the drive? Dumping Abdul-Jabbar doesn't exactly send the best signal.

I dunno about that...He has openly said AND DONE that he will be beating everybody down the court for easy buckets. He has been doing that great so far. I think he got at least 8 points last night just on hustling down the floor.

He got some sick offensive moves. Jabbar while much more consistent obviously was built on finesse. Bynum has the soft touch but he also needs to be a monstor out there too. Make people think the will break their wrist if they try to block his dunk.
 
Give credit to Chuck Hayes. He's undersized, but is tough to move in the post with his low center of gravity and also has good instincts to strip the ball or poke it loose.
 
I think more people are worried they will break his wrist while they try to block his dunk.
 
When I watch Bynum play it really doesn't seem like he can jump very high.. He is just incredibly long and can get down the court faster than most centers cause of his long legs. That could be because he doesn't have his legs completely healthy, but idk.

shhh...you werent supposed to notice that

but honestly...Ive seen Bynum go real high for alleyoops that was slightly too high and still put them down.

If you are referring to the LAL/LAC game then yes...he didnt really show much hops...but its just one game
 
I like the video, and not just because he was demanding the ball and it was crystal clear over the air, but it ended in a Lakers turnover.
