      Allrightythen !
      One more time non-Portland fans...he is only 21 and is playing about 1/2 game,meaning he is not ready for prime time as of yet .
      And if he made 7 errors that could be good news,meaning...he has yet to develop and polish his Pro game .
      It's also pretty evident to me that tall players do not respond favorably to healing as would an average size man .
      That's a lot of weight pressing on your knees when you are 7 ft. or more.
      Look a Ming for instance,what's wrong with him ?And ODEN weighs in at 275 or more,he may have gained the weigh way too fast for his body to accept.
      I believe in his senior year of High School he weighed about 195,210 lbs.
      Now if ODEN stays healthy, lets judge him around Jan.,2010 and see if my predictions aren't warming up,and maybe his prejudice critic's will warm up to the KID also ?

        Do you have a poster of him on your bedroom wall or something? Who cares about Oden? He sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is 21 (or 40 we dont know) and is hurt all the time!!!! How can someone be so injury prone at so young of age?

        Why are you in here praising a guy when he hasnt done a damn thing? Are you getting paid to promote the guy? LOL

            God Godzilla,are you a racist ?
            I know ODEN can be intimidating with his massive ,mature look,but damn,just who do you admire in the NBA,I would like to know ?
            And yes ,I do have ODEN'S autograph from a High School game I went to,and yes he did propose to me there,but I also was intimidated at that time too by his presence .
            I am still pondering his proposal as of today .
            ,
            And for your info,I know you will write this down,ODEN carried his High School team to three State Championships [large school],then went to OHIO STATE ,remember, and carried them to the final NCAA game with a messed up wrist, if I recall .
            How many star freshman have taken their College to the Final Championship Game God Godzilla ? Com'on ,how many ?

                Was Oden a factor on that Ohio State Final 4 team, sure, but he didn't carry that team to the Final Four. And if I remember correctly he was constantly in foul trouble during that run. Conley was much more of a factor on that team than Oden.

                  Carmelo Anthony carried his team to a National Championship, not just a Final game appearance.

                      That's a pretty big IF. I really don't think he will stay healthy, BUT if he does, he could be a lot like Russell.

                              Greg Oden needs to quit and find something else to do with his life. What a joke this Big Useless Oaf is.

                                Oden is actually a 34 year old. His birth certificate was altered when he was born in the Congo

                                    Can and will he be good? Maybe, but to say he could be like Russel is an absolute no. No way, no how.

                                    Bif men make the league with their size. Heck, Bogut will go with a better career than Oden.

                                      I don't see Oden as being a great Center. I would need to see a sign of domination before I can determine if he belongs with the Great Centers of the past.

                                        Dude sucks. Did yall see him miss those free throws at the end of the game last night? He sealed the loss, and the whole Blazers bench saw it coming. Dude makes the GM for the Blazers look like an idiot for passing up Kevin Durant.

                                          In defense of the KID[21]with the most potential of center's in the NBA ,he normally does not miss important free-throws like he did last night .
                                          I also predicted he may be more of a Shak/Russell combo and it's looking more like that will be the way his "early" career is headed .
                                          Now here we go again critics....he played 22 minutes..shot 400 percent,grabbed 9 rbs, with 2/4 free throws !Now that's less than half of a game.
                                          Now if he had hit those free throws like he should have ...you same birdbrain's would still not mention his name ,right ?
                                          And he won't be 22 until Jan. 22nd,2010.
                                          Where were Russell and Shak at 21 yrs.........still in College !
                                          Patience, wisenot critics .

                                            reason he only plays 22 mins is because he fouls more than once every 5 mins. what made Russell great was playing great and smart D. and not hacking indiscriminately

                                              Oden makes Michael Olowokandi and Kwame Brown look like Wilt and Russell in comparison.

                                              Smeltics should be thanking David Stern for not fixing the lottery few years ago. Then they wouldnt have gotten KG and won a title.

                                                ODEN going to be just fine ArchieBald,but like fine wine he still need's time to age and grow into that huge body ,and calm down ,which "will" happen ,barring serious injury .
                                                I wonder if he's not packing too much weight...he must have gained 70 lbs since going Pro ?

                                                  Oden was good when he played back in the 60's. He's washed up.

                                                    I see the comparison with Bill Russell. Oden might turn out to be a fine, light hitting shortstop for the Dodgers. Terrific range as well.

I also predicted he may be more of a Shak/Russell combo and it's looking more like that will be the way his "early" career is headed . Now here we go again critics....he played 22 minutes..shot 400 percent,grabbed 9 rbs, with 2/4 free throws !Now that's less than half of a game. Now if he had hit those free throws like he should have ...you same birdbrain's would still not mention his name ,right ? And he won't be 22 until Jan. 22nd,2010. Where were Russell and Shak at 21 yrs.........still in College ! Patience, wisenot critics .
                                                        is being young supposed to be an excuse?
                                                        lebron was dam good when he came into the league
                                                        if he is in the NBA collecting a paycheck, hes deserves to be railed on
