By Dave This brings up the final point, somewhat philosophical but quite important.  Nothing is ever given in this league.  It has to be earned to be real.  The players themselves tend to know and judge when somebody has earned enough respect to be fed the ball on a consistent basis.  They know who Bran...

By jasonquick@news.oregonian.com At the beginning of camp, I guessed Oden would average 16 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks a game. Today, I would say 11 points, 9 rebounds and 2.5 blocks. All that being said, I will stick to my prediction: Oden will make the All-Star team this season and be Rookie of the Year. THE BIGGEST DEVE...

By Ben. Oden was underwhelming. He finished with 5 points, 2 rebounds and one impressive block: a rejection of an Ike Diogu dunk attempt early in the game. The first offensive series of the game, Oden attempt a lean-in jump hook in the lane. It missed and he wildly went for the rebound, bobbling it out o...

By Dave By now you have all heard about Brandon Roy’s surgery scheduled for Thursday.  The Blazers’ press release says an MRI identified a torn meniscus.  If you have read the thread below this one, covering the first few hours after the news was released, you’ll notice a tendency to take this news i...

By Dave Greg has got a reasonably good sense of the defensive game for a young guy.  His footwork is nice and he sees the court well.  Picking up defense at an NBA level should be natural to him. One thing’s for sure:  the moment he gets announced in that first home game is going to be something magical.  I a...
