    I think the case can certainly be made:

    Oden had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and shot 80% from the field and 100% from the line. The Blazers were +9 while he was on the court.

    Durant had 16 points and 5 rebounds, and shot 14% from the field and 71% from the line. The Thunder were -11 while he was on the court.

    The only thing I care about is Portland getting the W. But it was nice that Oden had a really solid game.

    Ones a center and ones a tweener SG/SF.

    I think the true comparison is not in stats, but the relative value of the player to the team.

    All that to say that at this point so far in their careers Durant has proven to be the better of the two.

    Thanks for not answering the question. And Yes, he did outplay Durant.

    Oden outplayed Durant because GO understands the court is 94 feet. Durant seems to think 47 feet of the court are for resting before you chuck your next shot.

    Practically everyone on the court outplayed Durant today. He had a lousy, lousy game.

    So overall. Yes he did.

    If Stern hadn't sent out the memo to the refs that Durant is intended to be the next "it" player he wouldn't have gotten half of those 14 free throw attempts they gifted him (seriously the kick to Oden that got called a block was some of the stupidest or most crooked shit I've ever seen).

    He was 3-21 and a non factor at the defensive end of the court ... yeah I'd say Oden's 12/10 and +12 in 30 minutes of play counts as outplaying him.

    I thought I saw him block about 4 shots, I was pretty surprised to see he only had one in the box score.

    I wonder if anyone on the national news will pick up on this. If so I'm thinking Oden owes Webster one.

    Hah! "wasn't a factor" I guess defense and rebounding don't count.

    Is this what Blazers' fans have to do to get excited about Oden? Compare 1 game? Why not compare the young season? Or their young careers? Why even compare them at all?

    Oden's ESPN rating for the game: 26.9 (40th overall on the night, 8.0 above his season average rating)
    Durant's ESPN rating for the game: 11.0 (92nd overall on the night, 30.5 below his season average rating)
    Source: http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/dailyleaders

    These numbers are of course subject to individual interpretation, but more food for thought and all that.

    What!! I didn't read the thread all the way down and prepared this. Then I read the preceding post. Anyway, here it is.
    --------------
    Durant played 41 minutes and Oden 29. Their efficiency, as a total for the game, followed by per minute:

    ESPN definition of efficiency
    26.9 .93 Oden
    11.0 .27 Durant

    NBA.com definition of efficiency
    20 .69 Oden
    00 .00 Durant
