    I agree, ABM. Without Joel, our defense would be severely lacking in the toughness department. He alone erased 10 possible points against the Nets and that doesn't even count the shots that he altered or the way that NJ set up their offensive possessions.

    1) Godzilla

    2) Roy

    3) LA


    Pryz is the unsung hero of the season. Don't get me wrong, Roy is our best player and he's had some awesome games, but often when he's trying to lift the team on his shoulders and shoot us out of a game, it's Joel who's making that timely momentum changing block or clogging up the middle forcing the ball outside. Most people who understand the game see this, but I can appreciate the kids around here who only look at stats.

    A good example was last night against the Nets. Take Joel out of the mix and we lose easily. His presence changed the game.

    My feeling is that if you removed Joel this team probably has about 5-10 more losses. Remove Roy and there's a good chance this is a 25-30 win team for the year. Joel's been great, but Roy's production is pretty much irreplaceable.

    I love Joel, and I know how important he's been, but he's only started 26 games this year and averages 23 minutes a game. It's unfair to compare his importance to an all-star, to the third best SG in the league who averages over 37 minutes a night.

    If we didn't have Roy this entire year we're probably looking up at Phoenix for the 8th spot. Opposing teams entire game plans start & end with Roy and he still delivers. How many times has he saved us in the last minute of a game, let alone in the 4th quarter? Dude had 50 points. Dude had 10 steals. We've ridden the guy all year and you have the nerve to suggest he's not the most valuable player on this team? How dare you. How DARE you.

    You need a sense of humor, to go along with more intelligence. :)

    My sense of humor is legendary. However, I probably should have included a smiley. :)

    My intelligence can go either way.

    I'm not sure whats worse. Someone acting sanctimonious and thinking they know what they're talking about, or someone acting sanctimonious and not realizing they have no idea what they're talking about.

    Well, at least we know how you feel about the subject.

    Understanding Oden's out, if Joel's not in there, add about 5-7 more points per game against the Blazers. That's a boatload of lost games. The Starting Center would be who. Like, Frye? Hmmm................

    Good point. But who's the starting SG if Roy is out?

    Ok, so you say Rudy.

    The drop off of talent between Roy and Rudy is more than the drop off of talent between Joel and Frye.

    OK, yeah, it was a good way to pass some time before tomorrow's game. :)

    Nonetheless, I'll concede to you guys. Give me this much, though. Joel is the "unsung' hero of the team? :pumpitup:
