Key Matchups: Greg Oden vs Big Baby Davis Gerald Green vs Martell Webster Rajon Rondo vs Sergio Rodriguez Leon Powe vs LaMarcus Aldridge
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...
