    You know i could see in the early weeks that odom was the clear cut R.o.Y., but according to them, lamar's stock is still rising while steve's play has been the same. When in all actuality, odom's numbers have gone down while steve's have improved. The report even pointed out that Odom is only shooting 42 percent, which is mediocre for a 6'10" forward, yet they think his play is improving.

    it also said that "he held his own against Kidd until the Kidd drops 3 assists and game winning lay-up in 2ot." What's the point ? If you go by numbers, steve still outplayed him.

    I think even the net.media has a biased against francis because of the vancouver draft mess.

    I'm not saying francis is better then odom, but i think its alot closer then they think. If you go by numbers, it is very close. Lamar's have dropped since the opening week, while steve's has improved.

    You have to realize one guy is on the Clippers while the other one is on the Rockets. Makes a hell of a difference.
    That's all that's need to be said.

    i've also wondered about their critique of stevie... odom is certainly going to be incredible, but the roy award will go to the 'right here, right now' player. stevie did suffer in the beginning, while odom flourished (30 pts. 12 rb first nba game? does that sound right). i only hope that for stevie's sake that they judge the roy on position. if stevie averages 22 pts. 11 assists. 6 rebounds, 2~ steals per game, i would think that's comparable/better than 28 points, 13 rebounds...

    does anyone know the criteria for roy? alot of it seems to be flash, pure scoring ability...

    Its not rookie of the year - its highlight film of the year. Give Stevie a few more dunks and fancy passes and he'll start to edge out odom.

    Odom is only averaging one more point then Steve, he is outrebounding him (but not by much), and stevie has a huge edge in assists and steals.

    Also, Lamar only shares the ball with derek anderson (maybe taylor, but isn't he hurt), while stevie shares it with barkley, hakeem, shandon, etc.

    Who really cares what NBATalk thinks. They do not give out awards. They are good at producing articles from newspapers and nothing else.
