... . This weekend, John Canzano made a very public case against Greg Oden. Greg answered back last night, with 16 points and 10 boards on 5 of 7 shooting and a massive block shot down the stretch. Greg and LaMarcus combined for the first 14 Blazers points and when that happens, it's going to be problems for whomever we are playing. ...

For reasons only known to him, the undeniably awesome John Canzano went on an endless rant this weekend about Greg Oden being a starter in Portland.
