NBA Live Thread: Greg Oden Returns For Portland Trailblazers Vs Miami Heat And Houston Rockets Vs Phoenix Suns
Let's See How Long Greg Oden Can Stay On The Court This Time

Tonight's games include 2 nationally televised matchups, both on ESPN. At 8 (EST), Greg Oden will return for the Trail Blazers to play against Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat. At 10:30, the Houston Rockets will play the Suns in Phoenix.

Oden has missed the last 6 games after getting injured early in the first game of the season. He missed his entire rookie year as well, so he will be playing in only his 2nd regular season game since being drafted almost 2 years ago. In his debut, Oden collected 5 rebounds and a block, but failed to score in 12:51 of play. Portland fans are anxious to see their young phenom take the court, and obviously hope that he can stay on the court a bit longer this time.

78% of FanIQ expect Oden's return to be a disappointment, picking the Heat to win by an average score of 99-95.

In the late game, 69% are taking the Suns, by an average of 103-101.

So whats the over/under going to be anyways?

I'll set it first with 10 minutes for Oden.

Over... I'm an optimist.

But then again, you know what they say... fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on George W. Bush. Fool me 3 times, and Greg Oden will never shake the "Next Sam Bowie" label.

Pat, I'm dissapointed.  No mention of the Hawks/Celtics game?  The Hawks still haven't lost, and they are putting that streak on the line in the place that they got killed 6 times last season.

 

Time for the Hawks to put a stop to that nonsense.

The undefeated nonsense? I am watching the Miami/Portland game since South Park doesn't come on until 9. While I watch I am downloading The Dark Knight so I can watch it later.

Normally I'd mention it, but live threads are more of a thing for nationally televised stuff.

I'll watch the C's make their comeback (down 34-24 now), but not many other people will.

I'd rather watch that or the Lakers/Hornets game than the Heat/Blazers but since I don't have the League Pass I don't get to watch the games on DirecTV that are on the FSN channels.

Oden is pretty ineffective on the offensive end. Great block on the defensive side though.

In case you hadn't realized it yet, the Milwaukee Bucks really suck.  They suck so bad, that they down 12 to the Tony Parker-less and Manu Ginobili-less Spurs.

I try not to get to excited over early season games, but the Lakers are beating New Orleans by 21 in New Orleans.

I know I say this in almost every Triple Threat but Rudy Fernandez is my favorite international player. The cat can ball.

Helluva game in Boston.  Paul Pierce hit a damn jumper with :00.7 left to beat the Hawks 103-102.

I just saw that highlight. It looked like they didn't start the clock when Boston inbounded it.

Tonight is why Kobe Bryant isn't an MVP candidate this year.  Nobody on the Lakers did anything special tonight. Nobody had more than 20 points and 5 guys were in double digits and everyone who played scored.  On the other hand, CP3 had 28 points and 13 assists, but the Hornets never had a chance.  It was only one game, but it illustrates the massive amounts of talent the Lakers have.

So far Chris Paul has 20+ points and 10+ assists in every game this season. Can anyone say MVP?

I don't know how many of you watched tonight South Park but it was hilarious. I recommend watching it right now.
