... I torched Greg Oden on Twitter last night, and I should clarify. BE has a good rundown, Blazers Fans, in case you think I’m just hating. If everyone just says “Oden is going to rebound and be dominant on defense in terms of blocks and affecting shots, until he learns how to properly maintain his responsibilities (INBOUNDSPLAYSINBOUNDSPLAYSINBOUNDSPLAYS), I’d be fine with it.

... and Drew Gooden were just slightly out of position to receive an entry pass or challenge a shot. The team defense, the rebounding, and just about everything else was a step slow and a bit flat…and yet the Mavs were still within a stone’s throw of winning this game. Had Foye and Blatche not channeled their inner demi-gods, we could very well be celebrating one in the win column. The Mavs still have a lot of work to do, but they also have nothing but time."

Denver Stiffs —
... Reading the great work done by Ben Golliver over at Blazers Edge it appears the Blazers are concentrating more on defense this season and did a great job rotating to the ball against the Rockets.
