I needed a laugh.

with no evidence to support them. Along with wild speculation. Also what’s with her comment on him being slower after surgery. Even if that were true the guys was faster in the pre-draft workouts then Durant. DURANT!!

Davis won’t be there for long, but Ellis/Biedrins/Wright make up a nice young nucleus. If Oden ends up being a bust, then maybe he’s not so far off.

I don’t think Oden is going to be a bust though.

I just can’t get too worked up over some random fan’s opinion on their favorite team versus our favorite team. It’s like some Warriors fan getting in a tizzy because someone random here said Baron always disappoints in the end and Monta will never play NBA defense. Why get bugged by it? It’s just some random fan.

I think the Dubs got some good young pieces, even if I think Monta is overrated. He is very fun to watch on the offensive end, but he isn’t a good shooter, ball handler, and is maybe one of the worst defenders at the guard spot in the league. Exciting, but he isn’t anywhere close to Baron Davis in the ability to be a main guy on a team.

Wright has shown some good things this season, and aside from being terminally goofy looking he has arms from here to Peoria and a nice touch to boot. Imagine an even skinnier LMA with less shooting touch and athleticism, and you got Wright. He could turn good.

Beidrins will continue to be a defensive and rebounding force, like an awesome version of Jor-El Pryzzle. Aside from dunks and putbacks though, he just has no offensive game (like Joel) and is an awful free throw shooter. But, he rebounds very well and blocks shots. I just don’t think he has the all round potential that LMA does.

Oden is not as raw as people think, which I think is more of people going off what someone else has said and not really watching Oden for themselves. He averaged more points than ANY recent dominant post player did as a freshman (Shaq, Duncan, Hakeem, you name it) and he has the jump hook and soft touch needed to be an all time great. But, because he can dunk over most anyone he gots more of those type of shots.

The entire season of working on his jumper and his touch will help him a lot in the long run. If his knee is okay, I say it is a 0.000000000000001% chance of him being a bust. Sure fire centers of the decade don’t bust out. It is wishful thinking by a rival fan to believe that Oden won’t be able to score, or that he’ll have suffered athletically.

Overall, I don’t mind some person I don’t know having their own homerified view of their team and their players. I know I got my own homery view, but mine is correct because we’re the best team ever in the history of the universe and got the best players with the most potential to ever play in the NBA.

Nuff said.

After Nelson benched Baron for the game the other night that killed their playoff hopes.

He does have a point though. Out of our group, I think Oden is the least sure-fire.

“Do you like your quasi-futuristic clothes Mr. Powers? I designed them myself.”

GS will be just another good team in the West. I think the Sonics will be a force and of course Utah.

The West is loaded right now. Reading the article DIS-proved the author’s point, in my opinion. I think the Blazers WILL take the Warriors’ spot in the playoffs next year. Sonics will be a this-years’ version of Sac-town.
