On Christmas day, when the Sonics come to play, I am hoping for a good long shot of Greg Oden on the jumbo tron.  He usually gets a short shot.  We cheer and clap, and he catches on that it is for him, and he smiles and waves.  This time I would like him to get a good long shot.  Something long enough that he can stand up, and look around, and really see our reaction. The fans can shower him with the noisy recognition that we are pleased to have Kevin Pritchard's choice on the bench as our hope for the future instead of the oft compared player in the Sonics uniform on the floor.  It can not be easy for young Mr Oden to be so compared.  And it can not be easy to be so long on the bench when his heart is on the floor.  I hope the camera puts him on the jumbo tron long enough for us to show him our hearts.
