Wolves v Blazers Division Preview

NBAFanAddict — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 09:18:41 -0000

I found a pretty decent (maybe slightly biased, or maybe the Wolves are just bad) preview of the Wolves v Blazers matchup. It covers a player by player, position by position review of how the Timberwolves matchup against the Blazers.

Here is the link... It's a decent read.

The Blazers were basically given the edge on 4 of 5 positions... I guess I can't argue too much though, the Wolves are young and even though the Blazers are young, at least some have proven themselves.

Oden v Shaq. Student v Teacher.

Greg Oden reminds pretty much everyone of a young Shaq. He is was a skinny college kid going in to the NBA. Well, in the past year, he has gotten HUGE. Okay, maybe not HUGE, but big. His matchup with Shaq will be one of the best center matchups of the season. Shaq has the size on Oden, and maybe even speed (how sad is that for a young guy like Oden).

Here is a link that shows Oden's transformation in the past year.

Oden Got Huge

I am so excited for the Howard v Oden matchup. Oden's gotten huge in the last year.

Orlando Magic v Portland Blazers Preview

I was doing a quick search on what they call Google and found a pretty good breakdown of the Magic and Blazers matchup for the coming year. It's pretty interesting. The site that posted the article, is a Blazers fan site, yet gives the Magic an advantage in 3 of 5 positions. I think it's a good read. They do a full position by position analysis as well as a player by player analysis.

What do you guys think. Is 1 - 1 for the season a good prediction?
