The way the Raptors play the pick and roll, it'll be Bosh or Bargnani guarding Pierce.

i'm a huge oden supporter but wow, i thought he looked pretty old and broken down already. looked like a 35 year-old veteran and i'm not thinking of his facial features or anything.

I'm only going by boxscore, anyone can explain what exactly is going on with POR vs LAL? I mean, I didn't expect Portland to win but I certainly didn't expect them to get ripped like this. Shooting 31%? Lakers locking it down or what?

Well...looks like Oden is injured again. Hasn't been out of the locker room for the 3rd quarter.

It's a good thing Portland has all that other talent, because Oden's going to be injured... a lot.

so it'll look like Oden will join the list of notable nba players who fails to score in their first nba game

Man watching Kobe play is like playing NBA 2K9 on rookie mode. This is just ridiculous.

yeah, Kobe is sick.

Unless some major injuries hit, it's going to be hard for anyone to stop them this year. I think this is gonna be the year Kobe finally wins one without shaq.

LOL. They replaced Shaq with Gasol, Bynum, and Odom.

lol to early for that but I dont really see him ever becoming a dominant force on offense but on defense he is going to be a stud. He has alot of work to do on both ends right now for sure. Problem is there is just so much hype surrounding this guy he is expected to put up 20-10 right away and it isnt going to happen so we will see how every handles it, they may just run him into the ground and he may never recover.
