    You had no chance with Oden, and that doesn't change without him.

    Centers for last 6 championship teams

    2004- Ben Wallace
    2005- Nazr Mohammed
    2006- Shaquille O'Neal
    2007- Fabricio Oberto
    2008- Kendrick Perkins
    2009- Andrew Bynum

    Joel is better than or as good as 5 of those.

    Wallace/Shaq/Bynum were all all-star caliber.

    Duncan was pretty much the C for the Spurs on those.

    That leaves Kendrick Perkins.

    Also, besides the Jordan Bulls, every team that won a championship for like 25 straight years had a C that was in the all-star game. You need a pretty good big man.

    Bynum averaged 6.3 ppg & 3.7 rpg in the playoffs last season. I expect Joel to do more than that.

    Before Greg's injury, there was a slim chance we could have won it all if Greg realized his potential late in the season.

    Now, it is not a given that we make the playoffs and it is not Joel's fault. It is hard to find areas where we have improved over last year's team that was bounced in the first round with the injuries and Miller coming off the bench.

    Do you just like ignoring everyone else on the team?
