Oden is a gametime decision

with a sinus infection. I say no way he misses the game though but he did not practice today.

You're right msubulldog, they only need one leg to play these kind of games lol

that's probably a good thing, yao will dominate oden and get him into foul trouble in a heartbeat

portland can win this game, sure, but oden will have nothing to do with it. if anybody has been watching portland this year, they would understand that oden has been so disappointing that he is almost a liability on the floor. every single facet of his game is beyond raw. he is almost always out of position at both ends of the floor, which causes him to clog up the lane and/or turn the ball on the offensive end (and miss plenty of easy layups, dunks and hooks) and reach and slap on the defensive end. in a 7 game series if oden had to play more than 20 minutes, yao would ABUSE him. just one man's opinion.

Nicolas Batum is probable Saturday vs. Houston ( Strep Throat )

When one or two player are sick, there may be more that will come down with it, which they wont make public.

Watch the game pregame show, right before tipoff to determine if there are others.

You could not be more wrong!! Your one of those guys that probably listens to espn radio a lot and catches a blazers game once in a while. Oden does so much that does not show up in the stat sheet it's not even funny. he's a 21 year old rookie center coming off micro surgery. Oden will be fine and is another reason why the blazers have 54 wins this year.
