Review of Greg Oden's NBA debut. Also Portland's first game

[Darius]

I feel sorry for them having to start off with every fear concerning their team being hinted at:


Aldridge - soft jump shooter

Roy - not enough height or fast enough first step to create his own offense consistently

Oden - made of glass


I still think they are going to be a good team but it's sad to see such a promising team have such an inauspicious start.

[RonySeikalyFTW]

Yeah, pretty pathetic so far, with the exception of Rudy. I'll take Beasley as ROY. I really question Oden at this point.

And does Nate McMillan have any concept of offense? I know he didn't as a player, I guess he doesn't as a coach either. If Portland doesn't start going with a starting backcourt of Roy+Fernandez, they don't deserve to make the playoffs.

Start Brandon Roy at PG
Start Rudy Ferendez at SG
Keep Travis Outlaw at SF
Keep Lamarus at PF
Keep Oden at C

That should be your starting 5 right there ..... no need to have steve blake to start because Brandon Roy likes to have the ball in his hands/create most of the time! Brandon Roy is alittle undersize at the SG spot against some teams!

GIVE YOUR ROOKIE BAYLESS AT LEAST SOME MINUTES AT LEAST!

Greg Oden didn't even score a single bucket tonight ....... this is REALLY sad! As for you people out there who say " Give him a break it's his first game " ..... common it's one bucket? you cant even score a single bucket ....... that is very sad ......

Well he seemed to have injured himself again so I wonder when we'll be able to see him again...

[w00terz]

Dude, the game hasn't even finished...

[plowking]

[Darius]

Yeah Steve Blake is too tentative out there.

[jrcp3]

i understand all of your commets people ..... but he got in a good 15+ minutes in the game .... with a bunch of post ups .... HE DIDN'T EVEN SCORE! 5 Rebs .... common man those numbers aren't even bench players numbers! DAMN.

[bdreason]

Oden didn't look in shape at all.


Kobe didn't score in his first game either, to be fair.

[SHEED_ gangsta]
