I think it's notice-worthy. http://www.nba.com/games/20081213/ORLUTA/boxscore.html just for pure NBA knowledge sake
I saw that too. The guy is just amazing. I really think we fans are going to be right in the middle of one of the greatest big-man match-ups ever.
Yeah, Dwight Howard vs. Yao Ming should be pretty good to watch. Magic and Rockets had a great big man matchup in the finals once before, and apparently, according to Blazers fans, we will see it again.
Who cares about Ming except billions of starving comunists. That guy will never be considered an all time great. He's just not very good at anything except being bigger than everyone else and imitating a robot.
We have the Turkish Tornado coming over in 2 years, who will blow all of Portland's foreign prospects out of the water.
I think you're slightly (ok, not slightly) overrating Omar here. Both Rudy and Batum are better prospects.
I find it to be quite easy, actually. <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr class="ysprow1" align="right"><td class="player" align="left"> D.
