Yeah you do that, didn't know the NBA Finals were in Christmas this year. Context clues are meaningless when the context you gave in the first place was wrong. (I love how I'm a grammar Nazi because you mistyped something, told me I was wrong, and then defended said mistyping. Nice try though.) I called you delusional because I'm presenting you with facts and yet you're still claiming Oden can average higher stats than he ever has in less playing time. Oh and NOW it's optimism? Funny, you're last post claimed those numbers would be optimistic "except he's

ing seven feet tall." And while putting up those stats at <20 minutes is more plausible, it would still require him to put up greater numbers with less time. I don't need to act like I have a larger wealth of knowledge, at least in basketball, because I pretty much do. At least more than you. The fact that you think Oden was the 2nd or 3rd scoring option while in Portland only goes to prove that. Oden was at best a 4th scoring option behind Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldrige, and Andre Miller. You could even argue he was 5th behind Batum. I'm not picking the popular opinion, I'm picking the logical one. It's really ironic how you accuse me of being childish and plugging my ears when I've done pretty much nothing but present you with facts while you vehemently claim the contrary.
Here's an idea, rather than being optimistic about what kind of stats Oden will put up, why not be optimistic about his health?
