By david carrillo As John Hollinger of ESPN made note, it was ironic that it happened on 70’s retro night given the Trail Blazers history of highly touted but often injured big men like Sam Bowie and Bill Walton.

By Dave 2.  Keep Kevin Durant off of the boards.  Right now he's their main rebounder.  Yes, he may score 30 but if nobody else sweeps the glass Portland should be able to overcome that. 4.  Greg Oden should be able to feast on offensive rebounds tonight.  Grab it, dunk it, watch your point total rise.

By Ben. You ask me about it more than you inquire about Brandon Roy. More than Greg Oden. More, too, than Trail Blazers playoff hopes.

By noreply@blogger.com (David Friedman) For me, the real evaluation process will begin during summer league play when I get to see some of these guys on the court playing under NBA rules against NBA players (or, at least, fringe NBA players); after I watched Kevin Durant struggle during summer league play last year I correctly said that people should stop expecting him to be some kind of instant superstar. Durant performed better toward the end of the regular season but by that point the so-called "experts" had figured out what I had been saying all along, namely that Durant must improve his all around game in order to live up to all of the hype that had been prematurely showered on him.   [read the full post]

By David Friedman Durant's best month was November, when he scored 20.6 ppg on .414 field goal shooting. He averaged 18.8 ppg on .408 shooting in December and 19.4 ppg on .400 shooting in January. So far in February he is scoring 17.7 ppg on .380 shooting. It's not like Durant is making up for his poor shooting by excelling in other areas, either. He was an exceptional rebounder in college but he has been pedestrian at best (4.1 rpg) so far as an NBA rebounder and it is important to remember that most players have their best rebounding numbers early in their careers. Durant got a lot of rebounds in college because he was taller and more athletic than his opponents; he does not enjoy such advantages in the NBA and I will go so far as to say that he will never be an exceptional NBA reboun...   [read the full post]
