    Sorry but i've come to realize these 2 guys cant carry us to a title. Roy is a great player but hes too easy to take out of his comfort zone. he just doesnt have a smooth flow like the kobes, wades, etc. And then theres LA who seems like he is lost out there. Has no inside game and if teh jumpers arent falling... hes kinda average at best. he seems to have odens problems with fouls now. I dont know.... i just dont think they are consistent enough to lead us to a title ... no less a second round appearance.

    Seems like there's something missing with them on a night to night basis. I am just starting to think that these 2 guys will need lots of help if we are gonna challenge for a title. Its sucks to hear this but i think its the truth.

    You're probably not far off. Fortunately there's Oden who seems to be developing pretty decently. Along with Rudy, who's starting to find his stride.
    Roy+LMA+stiffs =/= title. Our team as currently constructed (though perhaps not as implemented) can.

    OK, how 'bout a serious response. Nobody ever thought Roy & Aldridge alone would be championship cornerstones; it's always been "the big three". It's generally accepted that Oden will need to be all-star caliber for us to reach title contention status. You're not stating anything that we don't already know.

    +1 . . . and it looks like Oden can be that player. A little more consistentcy night in and night out, but Roy, Aldridge Oden big three all gelling together could be the formula.

    They are too passive IMO. LA is a 3rd option at best and roys game isnt the same as other superstars. He doesn't score with the ease kobe and wade do.

    And Oden is light years away from being a consistent scoring center. rudy is our third best player.

    :sigh:

    Back on topic.

    LMA is a very good supporting player...the problem is, many of us thought he could be more than that. Too bad...but whatcha gonna do? :dunno: He is still the 2nd best player from his draft class.
