Sometimes life does take place ON a vacuum, though... [video=youtube;GTxW3GWZ5hI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTxW3GWZ5hI[/video] and yes...this is a stupid video...
I dunno. It's close. Depending on when we could get Oden, I'd probably choose him. Clearly I'm not a Noah fan. Ed O.
I cant stand Noah either but thats a little much Ed. Bynum played like crap last night....he had a stretch like this last year where he sucked a rebounding for 4-5 games, then he instantly snapped out of it and put a bunch of solid games together and then....ugh...lets not mention what happened next
I dunno. 60 games of a backup center behind Joel isn't THAT difficult to find. Oden is a game-changer when he's playing... 20 games of that is probably more valuable to me than 60 games of 20 minutes of difference between Noah and a replacement backup center. Ed O.
Noah is averaging more points, rebounds, blocks, and way more assists than Joel. Even taking into account differences in playing time, he is *at least* as good as Joel. Of course, the mere fact that he is younger, healthier, and able to play more minutes than Joel might be considered a good thing. Edit: I just took a look at NBA.com. Per 48 minutes, Noah is out-rebounding Joel (slightly), out-scoring him, and has an absurd 7-1 advantage in assists. His effeciency rating rating is 20.09 compared to Joel's 10.42. I know you are no fan of Noah, but the guy is just flat out-playing Joel this season.
