Must be their coach.

i hear that’s the number one reason a team fails to win ballgames.

Only four?!

That’s baddddddddd….

The Kings have the best bench I’ve seen. There are easily 14 guys on this team good enough for every bench in the league. Now if we could only get some starters, I’d totally jizz in my pants.

Yes, he obviously has foul problems

But he should be averaging 5-6 per game and getting between 30-36 minutes IMO. Keep him on the floor, even if he fouls out….

Gonna have to disagree with you

Ode needs to learn how to beat the refs and cut down his fouls. He shouldn’t be rewarded with more playing time, although I hate to admit it. It’s just that Oden is so darn good that we want to see him play better, but he needs to overcome his foul problems now rather than later. I’ve typically agreed with Nate McMillan’s micromanagement of Oden’s fouls.

Plus, if he had 5-6 a game, do you know how much crap we’d get from L@ker fans?! “Oh it doesn’t matter how many per 36 and % stats you have. Oden can’t ever play because he fouls out all the time.”

Yesterday, I met the worst possible L@ker fan. He claimed to be a legit one. He was born in LA and lived there for the first three years of his life. Then later moved to Portland for the next 18 years of his life. Yet he claims to be a die hard L@ker fans. Will even get a tattoo of L@kers logo. Pathetic.

I know

I just want MOAR ODEN. 17, 12, 3.5 per 36 minutes. Plus, I think the one thing that will help his foul trouble more than anything is gaining a reputation/respect from the refs. Good raw stats do that for ya….

For those who don't get it...

Link to Ugo.

They both were the same Transformer with different colors. Note the lack of any real face, but on the TV show they transformed and had normal heads and bodies with legs like the other Transformers.

How about the CEO of a janitorial services company? Now there’s some power right there.

Knicks picking apart the Denver defense.

Of course, New York doesn’t have any defense, so the game’s still close.

Does CSN have a rule against using averages?

They always use total numbers instead of averages to make the players look better. They keep using stats like Joel is first in rebounds off the bench and Rudy has the most made 3s off the bench, but they’re played two more games than other teams. Joel doesn’t average the most rebounds off the bench and saying he’s 2nd, 3rd or whatever he really is is still impressive. I wish they had studio guys who weren’t so lazy they have to make up facts to have something to talk about.

Your confusing thesis has captured my attention. Tell me more.

Yay Rebecca Haarlow!

She is talking about Andre Miller, using his averages and still making him sound impressive.

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.
