Brandon on what the winning does for Oden and Damon

From a good article in Boston about Roy
http://www.boston.com/sports/articles/2008/01/20/roy_handling_things_well/

"This can allow him to be just another guy, as much as that's possible," Roy
said. "Just a part of the team. There was so much pressure on him to be the
savior of the franchise, to carry the franchise on his shoulders, that now
he can relax and have a lot more fun without worrying about trying to save
the organization."

Also Damon is close to a buyout and might end up in Boston.

That's a great point Roy makes. This takes all the "franchise"
pressure off of Oden....Yet another step towards a championship that
is forthcoming.
