Love your writing Mr Jaynes, but Shavlik is going to provide toughness? Oden is supposed to fully develop in 3 months? I like your other points.

Arm chair critics. Let’s see you guys on the court. Fat Oregonians. Leave our team alone, don’t ruin their confidence. We will dominate! Go drink another lite beer and shut it.

I agree with you Dwight to an extent. I disagree with you on Sergio. Sergio has NO business playing. He will never be anything more than a 3 string player at best.

The 76er’s were more physical and they clearly wanted the game more

Before you go off and fire Nate, what he has done with Oden has been reasonable. The kid was overwhelmed and to have him focus on defense and rebounding was a good idea

With that said, I now agree it is time for us to get the ball inside to Oden as much as possible. He has gotten used to the NBA game and rigors that go with it, so it is a wise time to reallt get him some inside time on the offensive end. It would also provide a needed shot of confidence

He is coming along fine in my opinion. The team however, needs to learn how to go inside to him. We are so used to shooting jump shots that we need to realize we have a big man who can get it done

Concerning Outlaw yah he can be erratic at times and he is not the most consistent, but I don’t see any of you armchair sissies or you apple journalists complain when he steps up and gets the winning shot. Say what you want about the kid but he has major kahunas and is not afraid to step up if asked

Concerning Bayless: The guy is a rookie who has had limited time on the court. He will have some nights where he will loook like a rookie. However, he has already shown flashes of being able to not only contribute, but alter a game

I know you don’t like Bayless Janes, which gives me great pleasure everytime he does well. Get used to it, cause he will only improve with more playing time

For every night that Travis Outlaw scores 30 points or so, there are four or five nights when he wanders around the court like a guy who is looking for his lost dog.

You talk about not developing a young player. This kid is another example. He needs fundamentals — or maybe a Jack Ramsay type coach.

“They are 6th in teh western conference, ahead of division favorite Utah which has a much more experienced team and coach.”

Utah has been decimated by injuries all year. The fact that they are actually ranked 8th right now is a testament to what an amazing coach Jerry Sloan is.

I met a Jesus at 7-11

This “Jesus” fellow seems promising. How do we get him?

I think Outlaw has ADD. Put him on Adderall and he’d be a friggin’ BEAST.

Rusty,

Jesus would have healed Greg’s knee immediately, I believe taught him the sky hook.
