I'm going to squeeze all of these clips together to enhance your viewing pleasure, but in the interim, I'll provide all four as separate clips. It's raw, but I think you'll enjoy it.
By the way, the alley-oop in the third clip is filthy.
Oden looked utterly exhausted throughout that workout. It seemed as if he was going half speed the whole time, but you he showed glimpses of how he can completely overpower and dominate when he is in shape and has the energy.
Dude, you are seeing things. I watched the video about 5 times and saw nothing wrong (other than Steven Hill stuffing one of Oden's dunk attempts)
Very encouraging stuff. The alley oop super dunk is especially encouraging because he really had to leap to get that one, and shows he has gotten his hops back somewhat.
Coolness: If Oden's knees can't handle the pressure of holding up his massive upper body, then we're in trouble.
Q-nine: I didn't see it either, but you could be right. One of Greg's legs is a bit longer than the other, so maybe that's why he's got a slight limp.
Blazerfancan: Just one of those things associated with playing hoops. To be honest, I'm surprised there weren't more swears. I know I heard more than one f-bomb yesterday.
the x-man: Those drills are meant to make the defender work. Almost anyone is going to get dunked on in a two-on-one situation. And Steve, though not Greg's size, is anything but scrawny.
Holy S! I've been waiting 12 months to see what I just saw. Oden has 2 1/2 months to get conditioned for an NBA season, I think he'll be just fine. Thanks Casey!

ReplyDeletemore, more, more... Now I know I'm a Blazer addict.....
ReplyDeletecan you please tell ODEN to not rest on his knees during dead balls, im kinda worried he will put to much pressure on it with his big upperbody
ReplyDeleteoden's looks as if he's limping a little and favoring his right knee. Right after he had that alley-oop dunk. Please tell me that i'm seeing things.
ReplyDeleteHopeful in Portland
Q-Nine:
ReplyDeleteYou're seeing things.
Greg said after the workout that he felt no pain in either knee. He's gonna be good to go.
q-nine,

ReplyDeletein the 2nd one
ReplyDeletedamn! i mean the 3rd
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or did Oden just get dunked on by some scrawny 7' white dude? Is that supposed to happen with this beast?
ReplyDeleteChanning looked good too. Definitely nice and cut like Mike Rice said on Courtside not too long ago
Thanks for the comments. My responses ...
