David Lee the man. Wilson Chandler delivered too.

It's amazing how Scola has double the rebounds of Yao. And he's like a foot shorter

 

[daniel_kosinski_15]

<10 / <5 / 0 / 0 / 5TO and shoot 20% from the field and 50% FT. One can dream can't they?

But in all seriousness he will score 30 pts get 12 assists and 2-3 steals with 2 turnovers.

Oden to miss 2-4 weeks with foot sprain

Posted Oct 29 2008 9:19PM

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden will miss two to four weeks because of an injury to his right foot.

The team said Wednesday that MRI and computerized axial tomography scans confirmed Oden has a mid-lateral foot sprain.

Oden, who missed all of last season after knee surgery, injured his foot in the first quarter of the Blazers' 96-76 season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.

"I was trying to go get a rebound, and kind of came down on Derek Fisher's foot on like the third play of the game. I kind of fell and didn't think twice about it," he said after the game.

Oden missed four field goals and two free throws in 13 minutes of play.

The 7-foot center was the top pick in the 2007 draft. But even before his rookie season started, it was postponed by microfracture surgery on his right knee.

Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan had not yet heard of the MRI results when he addressed reporters Wednesday at the team's practice facility in Tualatin, Ore.

"You don't want injuries, and he's worked so hard throughout this summer to get himself back," McMillan said. "And we tried to do everything we could to get him ready for the season and the opener, and he steps on a guy's foot."

Blazers guard Brandon Roy, who also spoke before the tests were complete, said the team will prepare to move forward without Oden for Friday night's home opener against San Antonio.

"I feel bad for him," Roy said. "I know this is a big year for him and he had a lot on his shoulders."

Oden's first game was highly anticipated by Blazers fans, who had waited a long time to see the top draft pick. The team had not had a No. 1 pick since 1978, when they chose center Mychal Thompson of Minnesota.

After he was held out last season, Oden rolled his ankle in the first practice of the fall. That injury wasn't serious, however.

At Ohio State, Oden averaged 15.7 points and 9.6 rebounds, but Oden struggled with a wrist injury. He led the Buckeyes to the national championship game, scoring 25 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in the loss to Florida.

Paul is a genius... if you get the chance, watch his quick steal in the backcourt and explosive run to the basket at the 6.28 mark of the first quarter.

 

[daniel_kosinski_15]

Why did they take Chris Paul off so early in the quarter when he was dominating?

I have NFI... the stream I'm using has no audio, but I'd love to know. Friggen Warriors are dominating at the moment.

B Diddy with an impressive opening agains the Lakers, already with three steals.

That was good...so quick up and down the court

 

[daniel_kosinski_15]

Hey I'm not complaining, I'm happy he isn't on, gave us a decent lead going into the 2nd. Corey Maggette doing well at the moment, hopefully he will be consistent considering the money we dished out to get him.

Is he injured? I'm only looking at the box scores and I can't believe what I'm seeing.

 

[X_box_X]

Warriors 23-11 Hornets

That was with Paul on the bench.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

I'll take it.
David Lee the man. Wilson Chandler delivered too.

Finally wiped away the tears after the GF embarrassment have you?

 

[daniel_kosinski_15]

he is finally back on now. Hopefully he isn't as dominant as before.

 

[wezza]

Al's killing his little trade value left

Great win by the Suns today. I'm away interstate for work and have recorded the game at home. Only seen the box scores, good to see Porter extend the rotation to 10 players. Anyone able to comment on his coaching style compared to Mikey D?

 

[celtic_pride]

Looks like the Mormons will hang on against the Nugz ...
Would have been a decent game to watch from the sounds of it, mind you I can't stand Carlos Boozer, so I wanted Denver to win .

BTW Nice start for coach Terry Porter against San Antonio ..

 

[sblack]

Maggette in foul trouble.

Hornets looking shaky.

The crowd going crazy atm

West got doubled blocked

A lot more emphasis on D was the main thing I saw. Shaq played pretty well, but Parker and Duncan were unstoppable. Stoud had a big last quarter. Duncan went to tie it with a 3 again with like 7 seconds left but missed pretty bad.
