Blazer preseason thoughts
This is a really good look at the Blazers preseason happenings so far. Here is a tidbit about Greg.
"Five things I liked:
1. Greg Oden in general-
Yeah, his conditioning clearly isn't up to snuff and his offensive game is basically dunks and short hooks. However, A) he's finally on the freaking court in a Blazers uniform and B) his per-40 averages of 21.2 points and 12.1 rebounds are quite impressive. He forces opponents to double when he catches it down low which opens up everyone else, especially Aldridge. His defense is a little less than I expected at this point, but his offensive production and rebounding are better than I thought they would be. Once he gets his body conditioned and can play closer to 30-35 minutes (which is what I expect he will average in the regular season) he should be a double-double machine night in and night out."

Nice find, usmcr3049
I pretty much agreed with this fan’s analysis, and it was well-written. Plus there was the great anecdote about KP coming to the aid of the freezing fans.

I didn't know KP could go up any further in my book
but that story is just plain awesome. KP is awesome.
