Written on October 29, 2008 – 10:01 am | by Harry Robinson |

Greg Oden first game kicked off last night against the Western Conference Champions L.A. Lakers. Oden who missed last season with a knee injury was ready to take the NBA world by storm. But in the 1^st quarter the big man fell and wobbled his way up and had to be taken out of the game to never return. It has been reported that Oden has a mild sprain foot and there is no time table when he will be back. Oh can’t you hear the cry’s from the Trailblazers who drafted Sam Bowie instead of Michael Jordon. So the pain continues for this Northwest franchise. Who by the way lost to the Lakers by 20, but if you are a Blazers fan is excited about your rookie from Spain Rudy Fernandez. Fernandez drop 16 points in his NBA debut in 29 minutes.

The Lakers who are trying to lick there wounds after being embarrassed game 6 in the NBA Finals against the Celtics, look to pick up right were they off at winning the Western Championship. Kobe Bryant led the way with 23 points 9-17 from the floor. Andrew Bynaum was solid also for the Lakers 8 points with 3 rebounds. Bymaum is coming back off of knee surgery. Gasol for the Lakers had 15 points and the Lakers look like the old show time.
