Who will have a better season? Greg Oden or Robert Swift?

I sure hope it's Oden

It's too depressing to think otherwise

If you are depressed, imagine how an average Trailblazer fan is feeling. What is it about the Centers they draft - Bill Walton - missed 3 full seasons due to ankle and foot problems - came back to give Boston one memorable season

Sam Bowie - drafted before the Micheal Jordan

and now Greg Oden - who was "cruely" snatched from the Celtics on my ex's 51st Birthday (My Ex is a native of Portland, OR BTW)..... How ironic is that? As that old sage Bill Walton might say, "The history of the Boston Celtics and the Portland Trailblazers is intrically interwoven"

THe curse of Bill Walton continues for the Portland Trailblazers, how sad

And now the Statistical Comparisons:


           FG_FGA  FT_FTA  Rebounds   Stl Blks TO  PF   Ast Pts
Swift 16.0  7-14   4-5    1.0 0.2 2.2 .00 1.00 .20 2.20 0.0 3.6

Oden  19.3  8-18 11-18    1.8 4.8 6.5 .50 2.50 1.50 3.25 0.3 6.8

I think I'll take Oden here.  Nate McMillan is using Joel Przbilla at C (build trade value?) In OK, Swift plays behind Petro and Wilcox. I'd try to snooker a POB for Swift trade here perhaps.

Had the chance to see Portland live versus the Wolves last night. My answer is Oden. Played great in the second half.
