What Happens to Portland When Greg Oden is on the Court?
At least in a couple of notable games, the presence of Greg Oden on the court has led to some very poor play by the team -- even though Oden has played fairly well and has a PER that is among the best for all rookies or centers. What's going on? I don't really know. But thanks to Brett ...

Something to keep an eye on. [TrueHoop]
