Will Greg Start?

Blazer fans have been waiting for over a year to let loose a crazy reception to the words"...Starting at center Greg Oden!!!" my question is does it happen tonight?
I understand that it might not be time to turn greg into the starter on a regular basis but for just one night I think it would be okay. I have to believe that the Rose Garden would go crazy and be louder than ever, which in turn could carry over a little energy into the first part of the game.

He played 30 minutes last night
Przybilla played 17.
I think it’s getting to that point.

Getting close for sure
I don’t think it will be tonight. I think Nate will want to have at least 1 practice with Greg playing with the starters.

have to agree with you there. Greg’s been getting the lions share of minutes at center in crunch time of the past few games, so he’s close, but as you said, will probably need to get at least one practice in with the starting unit before he starts.

Yeah
Nate seems to be big on “offensive rhythm” this year.
I don’t think he’ll start until Monday’s home game.

I think Nate was basically prepping for that
I felt like we maybe could have won by keeping him out in the first half… I think Nate basically decided to throw Greg in there and force the team to start to figure out how to play with him—and I think last night went a long way towards getting him in sync with the rest of the team. Maybe not tonight… but I feel like last night may have been a sign…
And it already paid off—in the second half, Greg and the whole team looked much more comfortable.

Voted No
But I think he should. His butterflies are gone, let’s get it on.

I dont' think so either
I’m guessing Nate wouldn’t want to start him on the second game of a back-to-back, in addition to the other points people made above.

Not tonight
but probably very soon.

I think there is a chance
he could start tonight. Probably not though, we’ll see. I voted yes.

I think he will
Just for the crowd’s sake. They may use Pryzbilla more with the starting unit, but I think they want to have Oden be announced.

That is my thinking.

I've changed my opinion!
Now that I’ve seen what happened.

I wanted Oden to start tonight...
… but I sure won’t complain about the results!

Just a guess,
But I think McMillan goes with Pryz tonight. I predict Pryz responds by being our 2nd leading scorer, but Greg still gets his double-double. Again, just a guess.
