NBA: Please read the comments section here for reaction to Greg Oden’s multi-week absence from the Blazers. It is a collective sigh … Even though he opened the game with a sick spin move and right handed layup, cocky Michael Beasley blew a ton of layups last night against the Knicks and “looked lost defensively” … Hopefully, this is the year Nick Young goes nuts … Kevin Durant really stunk up the joint last night, going 0-fer in the first half … And your laugher, via True Hoop: LeBron learned nothing from Larry Brown at the 2004 Olympics. Can’t wait to see if he lights the Bobcats up for 50 a couple times this season.
