I doubt he gets many minutes.
Im guessing 5 to 12 minutes

Oh yeah...
They won't throw him into the fire and make him play alot... Especially when they won't need him in order to win...
But I still can't wait to see him in action, even if it's just a few minutes!

Is the game not televised today?
Oh man, I just realized that this means that I'll get to see Oden in live action next Saturday when I go to the game!! :D
Edit: Nevermind that question... It IS televised at 4:00 on WBNS 10TV!

I think Mattia will play him long enough to get his feet wet.

Go Bucks!!!!
If he was this close why couldn't he have played some minutes at UNC? We sure could've used the depth on the front line, even if only for 10-12 minutes.
Oh well, this is GREAT news going forward. :D

If he's ready to play then he's ready to play. There's no reason to mollycoddle him with 5-10 minutes of action. Play him 30 minutes.

There is no way he plays 30 minutes.....His wrist will get tried fast.

Oden played pretty good today. 14 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks.

Solid game from Oden. Exceeded my expectations.

Oh yeah...
I didn't expect him to get that many minutes and do so well in his first game!
Good stuff! Kid is a blocking fool!
Lol, and he was 8-16 from the free throw with his LEFT HAND! A freakin 7 footer shot over 50% from the line with his off hand, wow! :yikes:

Jake as good as GO is advertised you still want to break him in against solid competition, but probably not the likes of UNC.
I was suprised to see at 2 pm that he would play today. Hopefully he'll be up to full speed if not by UC then by the start of the Big 10.
We must not expect miracles right away. If he can alter the game on the defensive side anything he does offensively is gravy.

Well, he played 23min... Close enough!
(gave his wrist a rest by shooting those left handed free throws)
You could tell that his basketball legs weren't fully under him yet, but wow I'm excited for him to get rollin!! :D

This dude is sweet. Shooting like that with his left hand is amazing. He is something special. If he could add a little weight he would be unstoppable.
