Not to jinx him, but he is lighting up the Mavs right now. Awesome.
14 of Portland's first 18 points.
Great game so far. He is a really nice piece for them. He mitigates Brandon Roy's decline and is clearly the better player right now. If Roy and Oden ever got healthy, they would be a special team.
Portland's biggest problem is poor drafting when they have the first or second pick in the draft.
Memo to Portland: If you are choosing between a big man you think has an upside (Sam Bowie, Greg Oden) and a wing player that you know can score (Mike, Durant), pick the wing player.
Having trouble attaching the image, but he's on the front of ESPN now, rocking the goggles. 25 pts to lead the Blazers.
front of NBA.com too!
Great game for Wes!
...and from nba.com
Yeah!
