Can't think of a team that won recently without a dominating low-post presence. You can't win with your best big a soft-jump shooting PF. I was really looking forward to the bynum/oden match-uo too
The Indiana feed on NBALP last night gave a great stat. The Blazers are 53-26 with Greg Oden The Blazers are 55-49 without him I don't give a fuck if Brandon and LA are more comfortable. This team is better with Greg Oden.
Although Im not saying that Oden was, is or ever will be as good but I wonder how Roy would react if we were adding Hakeem or Kareem to this line-up. At some point what he wants and what he thinks is best for the team has to get one of these: Well Brandon .... sorry but its Hakeem. What the fuck do you expect us to do?
When there's not enough shots to go around... create more shots. In short, a faster offense is probably required.
What do you expect him to do, him and LA have to put down 60 for Portland to even have a chance to win right now. Do not drink the kool aid. Portland scraped one out over Houston at home, got their teeth kicked in by NY (who really sucks) and barely won against a really bad Indiana team without their main scorer. As said in the movie "The Jerk" the key to life is knowing the difference between shit and shinola. This isn't shinola.
