    Alright fair enough, this is much more debatable than the other topics in this thread. :devilwink: Obviously Oden has had some good moments/games/weeks this year but IMO Joel has been the rock for you guys.

    BTW...whos has started more games of the two this year?

    Blazers would win the championship, if only if Webster wasn't hurt.

    So having to play Kyrylo Fesenko or Kosta Koufos for 20 minutes at least a game isn't a drop off for Utah? Don't know if you noticed but Frye>Koufos . You have no Batum argument since we had to play a 19 year old rookie who wasn't suppose to play either. Millsap plays all the back-up big minutes when everyone is healthy, so when Boozer went down & Millsap had to start, we lost our back-up PF & C along with 5 PPG & 2 Rebounds.

    The Devin Harris thing was all in fun. I know a fuck of a lot about this game and I have credentials. I wrote a piece for Oregonlive.com for 5 years and I was quote on CNN and CNNSI (the TV stations, not the website). I was the NBA consultant to Papa Joe Chevalier when he was with One on One Sports. I basically told him what to talk about and what to know, etc. I also wrote a blog for NBA.com that was often featured on the front page of the site. On top of all that, from 1990-2009, I know as much about this league as anyone I know. I know history too, of course, but from 1990-2009, I own anyone. Without looking it up, who was the East's #1 seed in 1994? I bet you don't know. I do. I live and breathe this stuff.

    So basically, you're saying we have similar situations. That's all I intended to say. Utah's situation has been worse off, but we've had problems too. That's all. People overlook our injuries because we've played so well through them.

    Oh man you guys have brought out the Oregonlive Kingspeed from the depths of the BBF/S2 Kingspeed. I wonder if he will throw out a quote about how we're all small town and he is big league like Rasheed Wallace like he did a few year ago on OLive. This is pretty classic.

    I wasn't famous on any major level til 4 years ago, but I worked for Papa Joe back in 1998 and started work at Oregonlive during the 99-00 season.

    He was saying that they've had to play a teenager too. So that's similar to us though we've had to start one.
