The Onion picking on Greg Oden
The always funny satirical news site “The Onion” pokes some fun at Greg Oden of the Portland Trailblazers. Careless Blazers Goofing Around With Basketball Shatter Greg Oden Into Thousand Pieces
Kevin Durant hottest player in NBA
Every time I hear about how well Kevin Durant is playing for Oklahoma City I say, “what if.” What if the Blazers had drafted Kevin Durant instead of Greg Oden? I was 100% for picking Oden. I was sold on the idea that you take a good big man over a great wing. But it looks like I was wrong, at least so far. Can you imagine Durant playing along side Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge? Wow, that would be amazing!
What has Kevin Durant done this year? Here are a few highlights:
• Averaging 29.8 points per game this year.
• 24.5 career ppg
• Durant has scored over 25 points in 27 straight games. No one else has done that in about 40 years.
Blazers just keep fighting… and winning!
Portland’s 105-89 victory over Golden State on Saturday night was a good one for many reasons. First take a look at this impressive list of Blazers:
Greg Oden, C
Joel Przybilla, C
LaMarcus Aldridge, F
Steve Blake, G
Rudy Fernadez, G
Travis Outlaw, F
Nicolas Batum, F
Oh yeah, those aren’t the Blazers that won the game that improved the team’s record to 22-13 and was their 6th with out of their last 7 games. Those are the Blazers that are either hurt or sick and aren’t playing right now (some of them are out all year). This is the group that won Saturday’s game:
Brandon Roy, G
Andre Miller, G
Juwan Howard, F
Martell Webster, F
Jeff Pendergraph, F
Jerryd Bayless, G
Dante Cunningham, F
Shavlik Randolph, F
Coming into the season, everyone knew the Blazers were deep… but this is ridiculous!!!
