    Oden is a better center than Przy when he isn't fouling, and as I've posted previously, he should be starting IMO. That said, my original point about people diminishing what Joel does in order to prop up Oden still stands. :cheers:

    On that point, I completely agree with you. I've heard people do the same thing to Batum, in an effort to pump up Webster. That approach makes no sense to me!

    Well, yeah, except while Oden is better than Joel, Batum is at least Webster's equal in production.

    Przybilla is better than average among starting NBA centers. I wouldn't call him "good", since somebody on that level should be at least an All-Star candidate or All-Defense candidate.

    I have yet to SEE Greg demonstrate that he is better than Joel offensively OR defensively with any kind of consistency.

    I'm sure he will be eventually, but so far Joel has ALWAYS brought more to the table.

    If Nate didn't have an absolute rule against running plays for white players, Joel could average 20 a night.

    This post is wrong in so many ways. Sorry, before Nate, there was Cheeks. Are you calling both racists? Cause Joel wasn't the focus offensively in Cheek's system as well.

    I think the best way to enjoy his posts is to imagine them with a barfo avatar on the left and signed as barfo as well. It's not as funny, but makes way more sense that way.

    It is viewing everything through a racial pair of goggles. Ignorance is digusting.

    So apparently nobody has a valid point or arguement?

    Nate runs NO plays for Rudy, Joel or Steve, NOR does he let PG Steve decide which plays to run for others.

    Never ran a play for Sergio NOR did he let PG Sergio decide which plays to run for others.

    Players Nate HAS run plays for regularly include Roy, Oden, LaMarcus, Webster, Travis, Bayless, Miller, Frye, Nic...

    It's obvious he lets Miller run any play he wants, especially for himself.

    Maybe it's not racism. Maybe it's "cultural discrimination". Nate only runs plays for players who like rap?

    Cheeks is a much easier call. Despite the fact that he was probably the worst coach to ever work in the NBA, he had a team flooded with talent, but only saw the dark side. He never even ran plays for Sabonis, arguably the most complete center in the history of the game, barely used him at all despite Arvydas's pleading for more time on the court to help the team. It cost us the Dallas series and ultimately cost Cheeks his job.

    Learned your lesson last season piling on Sergio to prop up Bayless, eh? :cheers:

    Experience is the best teacher.

    The Bulls don't run plays for Luol Deng and he manages to get his anyway.
