The worst part is that "Foul officiating robs us of chance to see real Oden, Hibbert" is posted as a headline on the site.

He is one of those writers who gets the FANATIC fans to read his stuff cuz he is just like them. Got to get readers somehow, and that is his way.

Some day a commentator or columnist will say something like, "Too bad Oden wasn't smart enough to not get such a dumb foul on that illegal screen."

Don't hold your breath.

We should keep in mind that Greg Oden has been in foul trouble all post season in just about every game. Even his games in the Big Ten tournament he has been on the bench for many minutes for the same reasons I just stated. I think officials have been consistent on the type of fouls they have called on Oden.

Also two of Hebbert's fouls were pretty obvious. Hebbert's 4th foul he hit the shooter in the face while trying to block a shot (and missing). Then on this 5the foul he grabs a player clearly preventing him from getting to a ball. I did not see the entire game, but those are just two fouls and they were pretty obvious at critical points of the games. And from what I remember Hebbert had foul trouble also most of the tournament.

Peace

This must have been a tough year for Oden. He looks like a 40 year old man.
