I'm sorry but none of those guys deserve praise for the way they shut their own bigman down.

Pass the freakin ball

I'll say this: only Donnelly seemed willing to get him the ball. Oden would have fouled out all 4 Florida bigs in the first half if they would have passed him the ball.

The OSU shooters choked the game away.

Story of their year, heh. People here wonder why Oden's stats aren't as staggering as some people expected. Hard to score when he doesn't get the ball.

Oh, and yes please to Corey Brewer.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up. All the more reason to dump the ball down to Oden. It would be one thing if they were hitting some shots, but it was brick city. Also, something about Joakim Noah just irritates me. Oden dominated inside. Would have been nice to see him foul all the bigs out.

On a side note, he's not a big name but Humphries can flat out shoot. And his release is really quick. I think someone gives him a shot in the NBA. He's decent enough on the dribble.

Horford has some quicks to him. One play he was fronting Oden, and when the pass went in to Greg, Horford went around him and kept him from going to the basket. I was very impressed.

not me.

he's gonna end up a good nba pg, but its' gonna take him some time, and i dont' see him as a particulary great fit for our team.

since we already have a pg project in development - who seems to be a very good fit to our system, we have to go with an nba ready player, or trade the pick.

I think he fills the Lakers' needs more than D#######....uh....Conley. We might finally see a Laker point guard that can stop dribble penetration.

I like Collison's speed, quickness and on-the-ball D, but the guy is in love with his dribbling. He dribbles waaaaaaaay too much for my taste. And he doesn't go anywhere with it. It'd be different if he was constantly probing and attacking the basket, but he doesn't - he just dribbles around the perimeter.

Gotta give it up and move the ball - not pound the clock out.

conley may not have the speed collison does end to end (he might be as fast, but im not sure) but conley is definitely as quick or quicker than collison going to the basket...i think conley is superior to collison in every facet of the game, with the possible exception of on the ball defense but he might even be comparable there...collison's defense is great but perhaps slightly overestimated due to the system ucla uses

I'd like to see him on a team that runs a real offense. Farmar did the same thing last year with the Bruins and it just seems to be what Howland asks out of the points and wings. Dribble a lot and pass the ball around the perimeter a bit for 25 seconds before trying to do anything.
