Ergo, Greg Oden was the right pick. If he's healthy, we have a chance at winning a matchup in the middle. If Durant ever wants to win a ring, he will have to play with a dominant 5 (i.e. Dwight Howard) since, on paper, he will be overmatched in a head to head match-up. discuss.
Knowledge is Power. ya dig. You can't deny it. Dominant Big man is the beast that can slay the Miami 3.
Forgetting Oden for a second...I'm still waiting for someone to tell me who on MIA is going to guard Bynum, Howard, Amare, Yao, Z-Bo, Mark Gasol, Kaman...Bosh might be ok against the Duncans and Dirks and LMAs, but I don't see him as a defensive whiz against big men. When Chris Bosh is your stopper against bigs, then you are, as the Koreans say, in deep kimchi.
please.. Orlando, Boston, and LA didn't have anyone who could stop bigs either.. Teams that could stop bigs, like Goldenstate, they didn't do very well.
Kendrick Perkins did a pretty damn good job, and his injury was cited by many as one of the biggest reasons LAL won Game 7. LAL has Bynum in the middle. Orlando only had the DPoY playing Center. Next?
