The Soul Glow Man?

Spencer was getting slammed pretty well too. Man it’s great to have TWO centers.

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

Mikki Moore was one of the Kings who had that task, and his description of Oden was: "Heavy. Very heavy

“Once you play good individual defense on him, if he shoots the ball and he misses it, it ain’t easy to go back and get it because you used all your energy just to keep him out of the paint. He’s going to be a force. Everybody’s going to have to adjust to him.”

Mikki must weight 125 pounds

I think Oden relieved a lot of fans last night. You could just see that he’s going to be alright. Once he gets in shape, he has the opportunity to dominate people like Shaq use to. His size is something no team is prepared to deal with, save for maybe Orlando. But even then, Howard isn’t even close to Oden’s mass.

Witty Unpredictable Talent and Natural Game

Add 100 and you are on the money

He never succeeded gaining weight, it’s just not possible with his frame and metabolism. He said he has accepted it now and just tries to be the quickest guy he can be instead of the stronger one.

Orlando

I’m cool with Dwight Howard being the only one in the league capable of going toe-to-toe with Greg. We only play them a couple of times in the regular season and if we meet them in the Finals, I like our chances.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
