[The_Worlds_finest]

Oden is going to be schooled by everybody on the team...except of beno, shit even beno might get some too

[ace3g]

Oden forgetting about the season opener because he was playing in a pick up game?

[MONTENEGRINO]

Oden is going to be schooled by just one man, and that will be enough for him...:p

You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him!

[Mister Sinister]

You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him!
Why bother? Manu's just going to flop, whine, and cheat his way through the game, stealing the focus from the 2nd Comings of D-Rob, Bill Russell and The Big Dipper. That's how the Spurs roll. <End Sarcasm>

[mikejones99]

early vegas line has the Spurs winning by 9.5. lay them points

[Dex]

Yeah, but can he put a sticker on the backboard?

[tlongII]

Better watch out! Ha Ha!

Thats ok, Yao's waiting for him on November 3rd. Get ready to be owned Oden :smokin

Rox vs, Portland, Nov. 3

Two of the league's prominent big men -- Houston's Yao Ming and Portland's Greg Oden -- will be meeting for the first time in the Rockets' home opener. Yao has asserted himself as the NBA's best big man. Oden, meanwhile, is an up-and-coming talent. Like Yao, he was the top overall pick in the NBA Draft and enters the league loaded with hype. We expect Yao to get the better of the rookie in their initial meeting, but this could be the first in a series of great matchups between the two centers.

The one thing these photos have in common is that you don't actually see Oden's feet off the ground in either of them. You can see one foot in the second picture, but not both. The reason? Because he's standing on a stool. My sources tell me that his knees are entirely shot. He'll be lucky to ever play a single minute in the league. But the Blazers are hiding this fact by carefully crafting photos with teammates blocking the view of the stool he's standing on so they can sell season tickets. Kind of like all the old photos of FDR standing show him with a hand on a conveniently placed rail or post.

I'm just sorry to see such an intelligent person as tlong fall victim to the hoax. In six months you'll be begging to trade him for Beno.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Has Oden realized that he won't be getting 10 fouls to use on Tim Duncan (even though he'd need every damn one of them!)?
Welcome to the NBA, youngster.
You'll be getting taught a lesson by the best professor in the business!

[ShoogarBear]

So are the Blazers going to have uniforms this year or what?

did Tim Duncan retire in the off season?

[TDMVPDPOY]

thats clearly a goaltending

[Shank]

You're saying the ball is on the way back down from there? Why wouldn't Oden just catch it since it's going to be 3 feet short anyway? It's just barely out of the shooter's hand. It's a block.

[tlongII]

We're going "old school" baby!

[Admidave50]

jail uniforms are outfashioned!

[Oh, Gee!!]

You're setting yourself up for major disappointment if you're expecting Oden to show dominance in his first season (especially in the WC). Give him a couple of seasons.

[tlongII]

He'll be dominant. Not every night, but he'll be dominant.

[mathbzh]

Who's the 52 yr old guy?
Olden or something like that

[Oh, Gee!!]

He'll be dominant. Not every night, but he'll be dominant.

you probably said the same thing about Randolph

For Greg Oden to be on the practice floor?

Shouldn't he be in the AT&T Center?
:)

Heh Heh

Heh Heh

http://images.trailblazers.com/ssp_director/albums/album-36/hr/pre_pf_2_034.jpg

And I notice you still can't actually see his feet off the ground, thanks to carefully placed teammates. The evidence is piling up that the Blazers drafted damaged goods and are desperate to hide it.

[E20]

I was gonna look out for this:

TLong who's your favorite Blazer of all time? I'll assume it's Drexler you think Oden will surpass Drexler by winning an NBA championship? IMO He's gonna leave after a couple of years with the Blazers or get into some legal trouble.

[tlongII]

Drexler is my favorite, followed closely by Maurice Lucas. Oden ain't going anywhere.

If you are gonna base it on 'ships.....why not Bill Walton....at least he won one for Portland.

[tlongII]

Luke was on the team too.

I'll always remember him as a Celtic, I'm too young to remember him as a Blazer.

Who is Luke?
Luke Walton?

[Mister Sinister]

No. Cool Hand Luke Skywalker.

did Tim Duncan retire in the off season?

Yao's a 5, Tim's a 4. good night. :nope

[tlongII]

That's a big dude!

oh well.

[FromWayDowntown]

Tim plays a lot of center -- and there's little doubt that Tim Duncan qualifies as a "big man" in today's game. Saying that Yao is the best big man in the game, in that sense, is ridiculous -- not that Yao isn't good; but Tim is better.
