Talk amongst yourselves, non-Bull fans.

Go Lakers... they are my sister team like the Red Sox are with baseball. Grew up on the west coast, gotta love em.

[JimSorgi]

It will be a lot easier to watch the Pacers this year. It would really help if we got rid of Tinsley.

Looking forward to seeing how Big Drew does in his first game back. Also hoping to see Farmar dominate like he did all preseason.

I'm a much, much bigger fan of Westbrook than Love. Partly because Westbrook was there one more season, partly because Russ is such a freak on the court.

Did LO get the start or did Vlad Rad? Lakers fans want to run him out of town in favor of Ariza.

I was just about to post that. :lol:

 

Oden, meanwhile, is a) shotputtng balls at the rim, and b) fouling.

[Warpticon]

Odom apparently flipped his awesome switch inbetween quarters.

literally seconds after i post this, ariza sinks a 3-pointer

Personally, I think Odom is a great fit for that team, especially because of his versatility. Ariza is a solid bench guy...good defense, can get some hustle plays due to his athletic ability.

 

Vlad Rad annoys the living crap out of me. Not as much as Sasha's hair annoys me, but it's close.

Vlad started. Odom came off the bench, made some bone headed plays, and started wrecking shop once the 2nd quarter started.

 

I understand why you are annoyed by Vlad. And Ariza is an incredible athlete who plays teriffic man D, and he's developing a shot. Good chance he'll be starting next year if things progress as expected.

 

Odom's a good fit for the 2nd unit because he can play power forward with that squad. He'll still be in the game for 30 minutes+ most nights. And Farmar/Vujacic/Ariza/Odom/Mbenga is almost good enough to start for some teams.

Never clicking another spoiler from IMB again.

booby gibsons new batman 'do is pretty b a too

raise your hand if you're glad your team didn't have the chance to draft oden *raises hand*

[Warpticon]

To be fair, Oden was playing his first ever regular season NBA game against a pretty damned good front line. Ifyou thought he was going to be great under those circumstances, you were a victim of hype.

You will be in the minority. You don't pass on his caliber of talent.

It's not that, but the injuries are piling up on him. The wrist injury at tOSU, the knee injury last year, and now a foot injury in the very first game this year.

 

Hopefully he's not banged up too bad because that team would be a very fun team to watch in the West with everyone healthy.

[Butterscup1679666578]

yeah i'm more talking about the injury than his talent level. no doubt he's got skills, but can he stay healthy in that giant body?

[Warpticon]

His skills are built primarily around the defense and rebounding aspect. He doesn't have an NBA offensive game. That's something he can grow into if he can stay on the court.

Can Andrew Bynum? Or Dwight Howard? Or Shaq? Or Nene? Or any big bodied big man in the game. That's not a question mark just on Oden. So I think Oden will stay healthy and be productive.
