Spo leaving Oden as starter for the rest of the year
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/m...,2172046.story
Oden's been slow and terrible lately but I like this move since there is no other place for him in the lineup. Birdman is better off the bench anyway and this will give Oden some further motivation and expectations to perform better.

Somewhat surprising, but oh well. It's not like Battier was giving us anything, other than making one 3 pointer out of every 10 he attempts.

Maybe Oden's past the injuries... Imagine 35 minutes of Oden in the conference finals

Nah, he would foul out by the 25 min mark.

True, never thought about that...
Edit: He averages 9.4 fouls per 36... So he'd foul out in about 20 minutes. Yikes. Can you say liability?

I don't think Oden can ever sustain a stable 35 mins a game. Being past injuries doesn't mean they didn't happen. His knees aren't great but he should provide them with size inside.
This is basically to see what he can do. If he can't last then that's it.

Oden can't run or jump, check out Oden at Ohio State before the injuries. Plus he's overweight now.

i think he'd be more conservative if he played more minutes. as it was he wasn't playing much so he could be more reckless.
still, that's pretty bad

Factor in rust, limited mobility and perhaps some of it is mental?
Is he that bad?

dude, where's my shaq?
Re: Spo leaving Oden as starter for the rest of the year
Oden doesn't even hustle or run the floor in the limited minutes he plays and gets way too many fouls. giving him more minutes isn't going help.

People like to act like Oden was Shaq before the injuries...
Let's just ignore that without the injuries, he was still highly undeveloped relative to his potential. He had a ton of work to do offensively. Then now you factor in his severely limited mobility/agility, and you have a guy who is right now basically a body on the floor.
Anyone who's watched him out there can see that he's really not that good right now. 30 minutes of THIS Oden is not that scary at all.
