He’s not getting any playing time and, yes, he would like to play a larger role with his new club. “Definitely, and it’s not even because of Golden State,” said the third-year pro who is averaging only 4....

I'm posting this mainly to simplify why I think O'Bryant's potential isn't translating into solid contributions on the floor yet and hopefully will cover some of the things I feel like Jeff missed in his post. Reasons why Pat's not getting more burn: 1. Not tough enough in the post 2. Doesn't know the sets w...

O'Bryant attended Blaine High School in Blaine Minnesota, He was named Second Team All-State following a senior season in high school in which he averaged 18.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per game while leading Blaine to a 24-4 record.

From Jeff Howe of The Metro: While Cassell’s days in Boston are likely done, [PJ] Brown told Metro he hasn’t ruled out a return. The belief is he’d once again wait until the second half of the season if that’s the case. So we'll get a chance to see how Patrick O'Bryant is working out, not to mention any trade talk through the deadline. Then if nothing else sh...

Since he’s apparently been the only Celtic making strides this summer, I thought we’d give him another shout, and ask the question: “Will POB be able to pull himself up...

One of the topics I wanted to discuss was the way the Eastern Conference is shaping up. Wouldn't you know it, Marty Burns took a stab at that very subject. (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/marty_burns/08/13/east.rankings/index.html?eref=si_nba) This is, of course, low hanging fruit for NBA writers. It almost writes itself. Rank the teams, state the obvious, lather, rinse, repeat. Of course that means that bloggers like me will pick them apart with snark...

If he can't give us productive minutes backing up Perk, we're stuck with smallball and forcing KG to guard centers. If he can develop into a solid option, that shores up the 4 and 5 positions quite nicely. Is Danny ready to roll the dice on that chance? Not just yet. In his interview on WEEI today, Ainge note that if the playoffs started today he wouldn't be satisfied with the backu...

There were various reports on the contract, but it seems that it is a 2 year contract at the league minimum with the second year a team option. It may also be a contract that is guaranteed only if he is on the roster after a certain date. He has considerable potential although he hasn't shown much progress in his two seasons with Golden State. O'Bryant is legitimately 7 feet tall. While O&#...
