    i think we can all agree that going against dalembert is different than going against brook lopez.

    and as oden was only 1-3 last night with one turnover, it would appear he didn't really get much of a chance there. but like i said, i only saw the beginning of the game and everyone is terrible so i'm not sure what the problem was there.

    Settle down. I listened on 95.5 the Game. Why are you upset at me for pointing out Oden's D-League performance the past 2 nights?

    I'm not saying he's a D-League player. I am wondering what is wrong with him, because he has showed flashes of being a solid NBA center in his rookie season.

    He's no Brook Lopez at this point, but he is coming off of a major surgery.

    Well, Lopez beats Dalembert in every comparable statistical category. Am I missing your point?

    I agree. I didn't say that, did I? Arguments are fun when you make things up. :crazy:

    so you disagree with me that dalembert is a better defender?

    you said that he's "no brook lopez". i took that to mean that he is worse than brook lopez. but even if you didn't, my statement still stands and doesn't have to necessarily apply to you.

    Brook Lopez is better statistically than Oden right now. Hence, "he's no Brook Lopez".

    I still don't get the "crazy" portion of your post, though, regardless of who it was intended for initially.

    it's intended for anyone, but placed after your post in which you made a statement seemingly saying that lopez was the better player. if anyone would rather have brook lopez than greg oden for this nba season, they are crazy. oden is the better player.

    Lopez is averaging 10/8/2. If they made the decision today, it would be a choice between he and Marc Gasol for who would make All Rookie First Team at the center position. As of now, Greg isn't in the conversation. Hopefully, that changes.
