"It's been good for us," Oden said. "We're going to stick with it. We have a lot of guards who can take care of the ball. We have three point guard (types), actually four. You saw me take the ball at half-court."-

Oden is addressing a question about the new three guard lineup.

I thought this was a funny quote, but I probably should have put this in the comments for jukelike20’s “Oden runs the break better than Blake.”
So sorry.

This is hilarious

Greg + conditioning + post moves + good spirits = one unbelievable beast of a center

Still on the Rex bandwagon.

0 fouls and 0 turnovers

Until we play a team with a legit small forward.

Like the Bobcats with Gerald Wallace. That should get interesting.

Actually I think a legit small forward AND a legit shooting guard.

Brandon can do ok against small forwards – its Steve and Andre we really have to worry about.

The 3 guard line-up will fall flat on its face against Atlanta. I would be surprised if Nate even goes with it on Monday.

I think he said he was planning on it for five games

He may not even use it against Charlotte and Crash.

Nice! Heckle those chimps for us, please!

(but really ,the three guard lineup is sketchy against a long, athletic team of interchangeable parts like ATL…I’m worried, so cheer hard!)
