Both teams have several players who played together on last year's teams. The Blazers have a very distinct height advantage at just about every position but the Celtics should have a toughness advantage with a front line of Davis and Powe. It should be a good game and hopefully a Celtics win, although with the Blazers height advantage, it is going to be tough. It will be interesting to see how our 2nd round draft picks do against a couple of the top picks in the last two drafts.
Well I think Oden will destroy de the celtics. With Davis at center he will look like Olajuwon... And also take a look at Sergio Rodriguez, much better than "our" sergio ;-) I think Sanchez and I have the same chance of making the NBA... Well, actually, he is only a backup (sometimes he is in the starting lineup but just sometimes) PG in a team that couldn't make the playoffs... I hope I'm wrong but...
