    I'm not the least bit concerned about the loss. You knew before Oden touched the ball at the line, it would be a struggle to drop one of two. He's just raw. He won't be that clutch, poised go-to guy. But he's a beast. And before this seasons over, he's gonna rip down rims and send shots to the 12th row.

    The Blazers are sitting a lot better than the Lakers right now. At least in the first two games, almost everyone got off, at one point or another. I think Webster had the most to prove, out there, and he played real well.  Brandon, Rudy, LaMarcus, Outlaw and Miller all had flashes of scoring hot streaks.  Oden's defense has improved since last year, even though he still commits some bad fouls and turns the ball over too much.  I like Howard as an addition.  Joel and Blakey are just plain solid.  They don't set the world on fire, but they will win games for you.  Andre Miller was a perfect fit.  Sergio was a defensive liability and now he can back down less physical guards.  It might take a little while, but you got to find some minutes for Bayless.  He can fill it up, and he's got fire.  Gotta get more minutes for Rudy.  As for the Denver loss, critical turnovers, lapses in key defensive rebounding, and obviously, free throws.  Add Carmelo going bonkers, and you get a loss. (by the way, after 2 games people are saying Melo for MVP-calm down, he's good, but not that good.  I'll take Brandon Roy, any day)

    Yeah, he was tripping with that Scottie Pippen reference. Nowhere as good as him, BUUUTTT, I think he can be, if he plays like a man. In Euroleague, you are taught more about finesse, and the fundamentals. He needs to put a little more muscle on, ...

    Ridnour doesn''t have a lot of offensive game, but he''s irritating as hell as an opponent and that''s what you want. He can run plays and stuff so he would be nice.

    Thanks Siccolo, not to knock on Bosh. I think if he was the number one option he would go back to being a beast. I miss making jokes about him playing for the RAPTORS. He is a great player.

    I think what Stotts is doing is superb. His plays are great. I remember the only play he ever called for Meyers Leonard, against the Bobcats. Great movement, got LMA a good mid range look, got Batum a decent three look and the got Meyers way down ...

    I watched Shabazz at the combine and he was a poor shooter.  In fact he did  so bad he did not even show up for drills in day two.  He may be a scorer not a shooter.  If he throws up enough shots he scores.  If someone looks a...
