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...

Opinion: Brandon Roy's 52 Leads Blazers in Victory Over Suns

19 Dec 2008 08:17:00 PST

Written by Drew Barton
Any time he has an opportunity, Greg Oden should feel free to attempt that. It has a pretty good chance of going in. The final box score tells you all you need to know. In the picture above, Roy had 50 points. For those who don't follow Portland, his jersey number is seven.

16 Oct 2008 08:32:44 PDT

Written 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...

Written 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...

Opinion: The "Other" Rookie

03 Aug 2008 23:59:05 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: Al Horford’s Rookie Year

17 May 2008 09:21:27 PDT

The second Horford was drafted, he was already behind both Durant and Oden in expectation and popularity. Many people around the NBA had already written in Durant and Oden as the best players in the draft, and no one really gave anyone else a chance.

Opinion: The Oden Impact

07 May 2008 01:05:39 PDT

Written by Dave
Oden will also eventually affect our running game positively. As we’ve said for the better part of a year now, Lamarcus and Travis are going to be able to fly more when Greg is rebounding. He’s going to make the opponent take longer shots more often, leading to long rebounds and breaks. His p...

Written by Faris Tanyos
By the way, I didn’t make a big deal about Oden. The Blazers themselves did; and it blew up in their face. The website comparing Oden to Durant, the big parade in downtown Portland that attracted over 5,000 people. Both those things went overboard. And if you don’t think that’s not a sign that Por...
