Greg Oden Ready for Action
There’s been so much buzz over rookies Michael Beasley and Derrick Rose that many seem to forget that the 2007 No. 1 overall draft pick, Greg Oden, will also be a rookie this season.
After missing the 2007-2008 season to injury, Oden’s rehabilitation is officially over. Though he’s not yet in playing shape, he still has plenty of time to be ready for next season and one has to imagine that he’s itching to make every moment count.
Fans who think Oden will turn the NBA inside-out and be an immediate All Star should back up a bit. Oden’s going to have to pace himself. He’s certainly gifted, but he still has much to learn and is still growing into his size and abilities.
For the beginning stages of his career, Oden will rely on his defensive timing on the block as his main staple. With a capable offensive weapon in the paint in LaMarcus Aldridge, Oden should shoot for a more moderate scoring average than the 20 points per game some are pegging him to collect.
If Oden is able to score 10 ppg, grab around 10 rbpg, and block about two shots per game, that would be a huge boost for the Blazers and should be considered a productive year for Oden. Unfortunately, that output may not be good enough for some. Those folks may be putting Oden on too high a pedestal.
The Blazers should be much improved, not only with the addition of Oden, but also with the additions of rookie Jerryd Bayless (who tore up summer league with his perimeter scoring) and Rudy Fernandez (an intense two-guard from Spain who reminds some of a poor man’s Manu Ginobili).
With Brandon Roy leading the squad and an assortment of athletic forwards and guards to throw in the mix, Portland should be able to make a push for the playoffs in a tough Western Conference.
Meanwhile, Oden will be vying for 2009 NBA Rookie of the Year along with Beasley, Rose, Mayo, and others from the 2008 NBA Draft.

I moved you into a category of users that all you can do is post in existing threads. You can't start threads, PM or any other privileges of posting here.Dammit! I can't even vote in this poll! UNBEAVABLE!
You posted way too many Oden/Bayless threads after being asked to keep it all in one thread. I even made you an official Oden thread and put it at the top of the Basketball forum - you should feel special. But alas, you don't and just keep whining.
The more you whine, the longer you will be in this condition. Pretty simple.
Thank you, God Bless You
BRHornets has an alias!
That's a bunch of CRAP and you know it! Those threads are MUCH better than the drivel that otherwise is posted there. You're just letting a couple ass-hat re s influence you far too much. Primarily Mavs fans and Lakers fans. I didn't even post that many threads! UNBEAVABLE!
No poster in the HISTORY of SpursTalk has been treated so unjustly!
When there's 5 Oden threads on the front page and he hasn't even played an NBA game yet, then that's too much
He is going to be the GREATEST CENTER THAT HAS EVER PLAYED THIS GAME! There is no such thing as too many Greg Oden threads!When there's 5 Oden threads on the front page and he hasn't even played an NBA game yet, then that's too much
STFU already. Damn you more that a en tranny being called sir. STFU!!!
It's sad that you can't recognize that my non-violent protests are the best way to promote positive change...
this thread is gold
Thanks for the laughs, Tlong
I just discovered that I can't even post in the Official Greg Oden Thread that was supposedly created for me! Will this heinous persecution never cease?
Damn tlong. Just use the Oden thread and you'll get your privliges back. I'd be honored if I got a Duncan thread.
Oh, and Kori has always been consistent about whining in the Forums. It never works.
Read my post above yours. The only thing Kori has been consistent in is her relentess stifling of my creative abilities.Damn tlong. Just use the Oden thread and you'll get your privliges back. I'd be honored if I got a Duncan thread.

I'm surprised Kori hasn't made me invisible yet...
I voted no minus the good looking part. im not into gingers
You can't post as tlongII in the Oden thread? I thought you could do that.Read my post above yours. The only thing Kori has been consistent in is her relentess stifling of my creative abilities.
No I can't. Are you starting to realize the insanity of these oppresive acts yet?
That someone would take these horrible actions against such a non-combative poster like me makes me very sad...
I will not give up my fight for freedom though!
I would offer you a shovel for the digging you like to do. But, your mouth seems to be doing more than what I would call a sufficient job. I would vote but I believe I don't know all the details. Also, I don't even think this thread will even help you, this seems a bit more personal now.
Thats all kinds of awesome
