Review of Greg Oden's NBA debut. Also Portland's first game

[FashionIssues]

dude has more injuries than field goals

[RonySeikalyFTW]

He was completely out of shape, looked like he had two left feet, and managed to get injured. Awesome debut.

[jrcp3]

But still ..... it's pathetic!

[tsforthrees]

Oden didn't look in shape at all.


To be fair, Kobe didn't score in his first game either.

i agree he did seem out of shape. looking like nene out there.

[Noob Saibot]

come on now Oden's no LeBron. it takes a while for post players to get real good, unless your Shaq.

[jrcp3]

But still ..... it's pathetic! and he's hurt AGIAN!

[dwight20-20]

i understand all of your commets people ..... but he got in a good 15+ minutes in the game .... with a bunch of post ups .... HE DIDN'T EVEN SCORE! 5 Rebs .... common man those numbers aren't even bench players numbers! DAMN.

so whats your point? are you saying oden sucks? its his first game coming off of a major injury. look at bynum, 4 points and 3 rebounds.

[Meticode]

Dude, the game hasn't even finished...

He's not coming back in the game.

[jrcp3]

so whats your point? are you saying oden sucks? its his first game coming off of a major injury. look at bynum, 4 points and 3 rebounds.

so ..... AT LEAST HE SCORED! and is still playing in the game .......

[Noob Saibot]

so ..... AT LEAST HE SCORED! and is still playing in the game .......

^it's not Bynum's first game ever. his stats should be right up there with Gasol and Kobe tonight, but they're not.

Bynum at least looks in shape. How Oden could be gassing out midway through the 1st quarter is beyond me. Not a good sign.

[TmacsRockets]

But still ..... it's pathetic! and he's hurt AGIAN!

Is he?

[Locked_Up_Tonight]

Kobe didn't score in his first game either, to be fair.

And to be fair to Kobe Bryant, Kobe only played 6 minutes and had 1 field goal attempt.

[jrcp3]

YES, why don't you think he's not in the game right now or for most of the 2nd half? This dude is in the locker room HURT! LOL

[w00terz]

First off, I'm just throwing this out there for discussion. In all honesty, I hope this doesn't actually happen, even if I am a Denver fan who despises the Portland TrailBlazers. Nothing is worse than wasted talent, and I should know considering how much of a bust Nene has been for us. Now, watching Oden tonight, I couldn't help but note the similarities between him and Nene. Let's review:

-Both are injury prone.
-Both are considered to have a high ceiling of potential (you can't teach size).
-Both seem to be busts as of now.
-Both are ugly as hell.


What do you guys think?
