Speaking of that, I had a nice discussion on another forum about this:

Who do you think will have a bigger impact on their team next year, Durant or Oden?

I'm rolling with Durant.

Durant. The man has already proven he can put up NBA numbers. He's a great player. He will be more effective than Oden right away. I'm not so sure about in the long run though because Oden could develop into the most dominant big man in the NBA. We'll have to wait and see.

Sure sure, it was a locked out shorten season, but you still play as many games in the playoffs! Besides, sweeping the Lakers and the Blazers ain't easy to do in ANY season!

the only reason they did so well is cause they sucked hard enough to score tim duncan.

oden hands down. he is going to be a very dominant nba center. Seeing how centers are much harder to come by than a power forward is one big advantage oden has. there aren't to many natural and good centers in the nba anymore. It has become a smaller faster league.

Depends on the teams they go to. If the Blazers take Oden, I don't think he'll have as big of an impact because they already have lots of capable big men (Aldridge, Pryzbilla, Magloire, etc.), whereas Durant would fit in well at SF.

GH0STrider · 06-04-2007, 09:27 PM

it doesnt matter where oden or durrant end up. Not only are they playing but they are starting. oden is already better than pryzbilla and magloire. His only real competition is aldridge but that doesn't really matter either cause aldridge plays pf not center

Errr... you do realize I was referring to the 1999 locked out shorten season, correct?

They were one of the best teams back in the late 90's and early 2K.

And do you realize the Celtics AND the then Vancouver Grizzlies had the worse records than the Spurs in 96 - 97 season, correct?

thats why it's a lotery. so teams that suck hard don't just get handed the first pick.

It has got to be pretty damn hard to lose when you have duncan and robinson on the same floor. I'm far more impressed with what brown did with lebron and ...

ugh... Lebron. As far as that lakers and blazers remark- I'm pretty sure there were many teams that could have swept either of them this season.

To me, you sounded like you were suggesting that the Spurs simply tried to tank that season, as if knew they would get Duncan. Of course, we all know they got hit by injuries big time that season... sure, it is part of the game, blah blah blah... And now you brought up the lottery thing, you sound confusing to me at times and I think I am not the only one feeling that way here.

Err... didn't my Lakers beat... I mean, destroyed the Spurs in 2001, 2002 and 2004 while Robinson AND Duncan were both in the lineup?

THIS season? How many more times do I need to say I was talking about the 1999 Lakers and Blazers?

Duncan almost ended up a Celtic.

Seems like Boston fans got the raw end of the deal from the draft lottery once before.
