The Portland Trailblazers are depending on Oden for their up and coming season. And after missing his first year in the league, some fans are already throwing around the "bust" word for Greg. I, as well as many others are curious as to what Oden is going to bring this year. The Portland fans are going to be disappointed if Oden does not reach their standards this year. I think all basketball fans, analysts, coaches, and players have the right to have high standards with Oden. Coming out of the draft, Oden was supposed to be the guy who was going to carry his team to a minimum of three championships.
To me, Oden has to play at least 70 games, average 15 to 18ppg, 10 to 13rpg, and 1.75 to 3 blocks a game. The Blazers must also make an appearance in the playoffs. If Oden fails the above, to me, the 08 09 season is a disappointment. Also, unfortunately, if Oden suffers another serious injury I will not hesitate to throw around the bust word. So what kind of expectations do you have for Oden, and what will you consider a disappointment?
