Please. We would sweep the Jazz too. They've lost 8 of their last 10 games. The Warriors and T-Wolves won in Utah.
 
Bynum grabs 3 rebounds against a Jazz team that is playing without its starting center. Oden grabs 5 rebounds against a double headed monster of Yao and Deke. And Bynum is better??? LOL, no!

uhh...Oden played fine, but it was already garbage time against a 43 year old man.

Not true. Unless you consider garbage time started in the 2nd quarter. Oden had a good first half and helped us cut a 25 point lead down to around 19 during the third. We were making a push and Oden was a big part of it. But then Brooks started making every shot he took and it was over.

Yes, garbage time started when we were down big-time. No fault of Odens...but a +6 isn't that great. Given the magnitude of the Blazers first loss, although Oden and Roy were bright spots, I'm not giving Oden any props in a 27 point loss. well, i'll give them for showing up but not going to say he's winning a "battle of the centers" contest.

He obviously didn't win the battle of the centers, but he did play very well. You can play well without your team winning. LeBron played VERY well in Game 7 vs the Celtics, but the Cs won.

7 pts, 3 rebs, 0 blocks against an Okur-less Jazz says "project" to me. Thank goodness the Lakers have Pau or they'd get swept.

So by your calculations, Oden is a serious project and Bynum is just a project, yet Oden>Bynum.

Okay, got it.
 
Update after two games:

Greg Oden 9.5 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 0.5 spg, 0.5 bpg, 63.6% FGs

Andrew Bynum 8.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 0.5 spg, 2.0 bpg, 43.7% FGs

What's your hangup on the word "serious"? Project, serious project, whatever. They're both projects. They're not All-Star centers yet. Just works in progress.

This is the Bynum generation you know...

How many years has Bynum played?

This would be year 4 for Bynum. And he still only brings 8.5 & 3.5 with terrible shooting from the floor in key playoff games.

I'd tell you to learn the game, but I suspect you already know it.

Thanks for posting.

:grin:
 
Bynum is just better, and you're going to learn this the hard way as the playoffs progress.
 
Doesn't Bynum play way more minutes? How does he end up with less than 4 rebounds?

Bynum is 7 feet tall and Utah's starting center is hurt and yet he only averages 3.5 rebounds per game?? LMAO!!! Please.

Oh don't worry - we will. This matchup is only going to get more lopsided as we go forward. Oden is simply better than Bynum - and deep down you know it too, despite the brave front you've thrown up.

I just find it funny your so finicky. One day Oden is a huge bust, the next day he'll smack Bynum around. You're all over the place with your predictions. Being even keel makes it more enjoyable to understand your viewpoints, a trait most Blazer fans, including myself just don't have.

I never said Oden was a huge bust. I never said he'd smack Bynum around. I make more observations than predictions. For now, Oden and Bynum are merely role players on their teams. Yes, Bynum could score a lot in a particular game, but he can also disappear in another.
