Blazer's Edge Oden's killing our chemistry.

 

From NBA.com, the +- stats on our players:

 

vs sacramento last night:

Greg Oden: -22

Joel Pryzbilla: +23

 

in other words, if the 19 minutes that Greg Oden was in was the only time in the game, we would have lost by 22 points.

 

 in the42 POINT WIN vs. Chicago:

Greg Oden: +9 (not considered a bad game. had a double double, no turnovers.)

Joel Pryzbilla: +34

There's just no way we can justify even thinking of starting Greg Oden right now. He's posting up too far from the hoop and getting unforced turnovers (a la Jamaal Magloire, my least favorite player of all time). Defensively, Sacramento was getting layup after layup when Greg was in the game.

Starting Greg just adds more pressure to a guy whos main problem is he needs to relax.
