So normally one can't jump to conclusions from one game...

but when Greg does about 3 things he has never, ever done before, I’ll go ahead and jump.

AND...he made the freethrows

MB said last season Greg got fouled the second most in the NBA per minute, behind only Shaq.

For centers.

Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Miller, Joel... Holy crap!

You sure?

I don’t know how to find that info.

Greg's moves are looking decisive and confident. Looking good.

He needs to only bounce once after he spins. He dribbles twice and sets himself up to get blocked. I’m sure the coaches will work on that move with him.

Didn't TZ wrote one article last year that he'd rather have Hawes?

He also wrote

I remember him writing that they were "of equal quality"

which wasn’t ridiculous to say at the beginning of last year. If he said it now, it certainly would be.

If I recall correctly, a Sacramento Bee columnist said he’d rather have Hawes, but I don’t recall Ziller doing it. He might have but I haven’t seen it.

Think it was a local homer columnist

Not TZ.

TZ had Kevin Martin ranked as like the 15th best player in the NBA before last season, which is his only major silly mistake I can think of.

Cool thanks

Didn’t TZ write that Sacramento is a dump and a rat was in the movie theater?

Pretty clean looking block...

Though often Oden gets hacked and the whistle is silent.

great move

am I the only what that noticed, though, that (a) Hawes got a lot of ball and (b) Oden could have been called for hooking Hawes with his right arm?

Tons of encouraging stuff from Oden in this game though.

Looked like 90% wrist to me

not about the result, about the agility and quickness from GO.

It probably was a clean block, but not a hook.

yeah, I certainly appreciate brp posting the video

That’s about the quickest spin I’ve ever seen from Greg.

I think Hawes was going for the foul

And got mostly ball, but the refs reacted to him looking like he was going for the foul.

Hawes didn’t even react like he got ball after the whistle. He reacted like “yeah, I was trying to foul”.

Great spin by Oden, who spun so fast and was so wide open he had to think about what to do next! Spin and attack, Greg! You had a wide open dunk. Nice recovery by Hawes to get a hand on the ball. If he wasn’t acting like he was just trying for the foul it prolly isn’t called.
