2010-11 Odom or this year Bosh?

[sammichoffate]

Bosh made Hibbert and Duncan look like Hakeem and Kareem last playoffs while averaging 12 and 7 during the playoffs including 0 point in game 7 of the finals. How would have Gasol done?

He did pretty well against Duncan in 2008 and against Dwight in 2009, and we all know what he did against Garnett in 2010. Although, he did get punked by Garnett in 2008. Use that as your point of reference I guess

Serious?

No version of Lamar Odom is even close to Bosh this year.

But I'd consider Lamar IF $$ was taken into consideration....MAYBE.

'06 Odom shits all over '14 Bosh.

15/9/6 in the regular season
19/11/5 in the Playoffs

5 assists? I believe OP asked for 11' Odom though. Still impressive af

its the triangle offense.

I hate the way stans underrated roleplayers for stars.

Odom was good. So is Bosh. Despite being inconsistent.

This is a prime example of people living in the corners of stat sheets and box scores

And, as usual, it's a LeBron fan doing it.

I get the numbers almost always support you all's idol, and so your weapon of choice in discussions is statistics. Hey, cool story. But, the game is played on the court, and the paper is just an extension of metrics used to supplement what the eye sees. It's not always telling on its own, and can be misleading.

Current Bosh on that 2011 Lakers squad...not saying they'd be worldbeaters, but his game would have complemented Kobe and Pau due to his mid-range prowess.

2011 Odom swapped in for current Bosh on the Heat....the Heat surely worsen as they lose that dimension to their offensive scheme. They gain another ball handler and slasher, but Odom was even more inconsistent than Bosh this year if you remember correctly, and Bron would be carrying an even steeper load offensively on a nightly basis because of it.

I mean, what's the point of this thread really OP? Do you expect anyone objective and agenda-less to surmise that Odom has ever been better/more valuable than Bosh?

[sammichoffate]

True. 5 assists is also what Kobe averages

[TheMarkMadsen]

Lamar was super consistent when he was with the Lakers, that I know he has over Bosh. Kobe would have bad nights and the rebounding given by Lamar and Pau would usually get them the win.

no he wasn't. Lamar Odom is the definition of an inconsistent player.

[sammichoffate]

no he wasn't. Lamar Odom is the definition of an inconsistent player.

Depends. I saw him getting 12/8 a game at least. Certain games of the playoffs are anomalies though.

Lamar Odom is tremendously talented but the dude is and always has been inconsistent, he's known for it.

I really like Odom, but his inconsistency has followed him around his entire career

[Trollsmasher]

Considering the salary, Lamar it is. Heat could get a real center and cruise to the title.

Odom was the definition of inconsistent during his tenure with LA.

Guy would post 17 8 and 5 one game and 8 4 and 4 the very next.

Lamar averaged 7.6/6.6 in the 2010 Finals.

Anyone who thinks he was ever better than Bosh is a moron.

Brilliant stuff. Using your box score insight, 2006 Odom is pretty much 2014 Duncan's equal!

15/9/6 vs 15/10/3

Odom
