(Poll) Whose More Improved?

Ok, so I wanted to see what Blazer Edgers (? sorry if that's not what to call you guys) think about Roy Hibbert (22 y/o) vs Greg Oden (21 y/o) for MIP.

The reason I ask is because I see these two names come up alot when I read chat questions asking about who such and such thinks should win MIP.

 

Hibberts Stats 08-09: PPG - 7.1 RPG - 3.4 BPG - 1.1

Hibberts Stats 09-10 PPG - 11.2 RPG - 7.8 BPG - 1.9

 

Odens Stats 08-09: PPG - 8.9 RPG - 7.0 BPG - 1.0

Odens Stats 09-10 PPG - 11.3 RPG - 8.4 BPG - 2.3

 

I realize this may not be enough info, or enough games into the season yet, but give me a break...first timer here

Similiar numbers

Hes on the Pacers

So I assume Oden getting better has a more immediate impact overall.

Hibbert has made the bigger second year jump in terms of raw numbers.

I still believe Oden is better. Hibberts raw numbers have grown primarily from just being on the floor longer. His points/36 minutes have dropped, although his rebounding has improved.

Hibbert has reeeeally reduced his foul rate which has kept him on the floor for more than 14 minutes a game.

HAHAHA

Channing Frye WILL NOT win MIP. I think most people understand that the only reason he is so successful is because he fits very well into the Pheonix Sun’s system. You take away Nash, and his role as a stand around shooter and you have the same crappy Channing Frye that we let go of.

Most voters look for straight #'s

Neither Oden or Hibbert doesn’t look impressive enough in pure PPG stats and unfortunately, that’s the biggest determinant in MIP race.

Channing is the leader at this point.

I voted for hibbert cuz I know if oden sees a few votes for the other guy it'll drive him to prove me wrong.

Sometimes you gotta be wrong so the other guy can be right.

There is no such word as "whose"

But I say Greg, hands down.

I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

One thing your info is missing

 is Minutes. Greg’s production has come in half the amount of minutes that other players he’s compared to have. This is mostly a product of Greg (trying to/feeling he has to) do too much on defense.

I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Don't hate the word... Hate the Game...

It’s all in the application…

GO BLAZERS!!!

There it is

Sorry, for some reason the last week or so I’ve tuned into the Grammar Facist.

Like I said

I’m a newbie at this stuff. But I pretty much figured that minutes would be the main thing I was missing. That and it being so early in the season. Still though, its fun to see what people think, even early on.

As for the word (or lack there of) “whose” it is a word. I assure you. I may not have used it correctly but here are just a few of its definitions.

–pronoun
1. (the possessive case of who used as an adjective): Whose umbrella did I take? Whose is this one?
2. (the possessive case of which used as an adjective): a word whose meaning escapes me; an animal whose fur changes color.
3. the one or ones belonging to what person or persons: Whose painting won the third prize?
Origin:
bef. 900; ME whos, early ME hwās; r. hwas, OE hwæs, gen. of hwā who

Usage note:
Sometimes the phrase of which is used as the possessive of which: Chicago is a city of which the attractions are many or Chicago is a city the attractions of which are many. The use of this phrase can often seem awkward or pretentious, whereas whose sounds more idiomatic: Chicago is a city whose attractions are many.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
