Ratliff has scored in double digits in seven of the past 12 games and posted two double-doubles. Where did the December offense come from?

Ratliff, the NBA's leader with 102 blocks, was kidding, slightly. He revealed this week that he played most of the season with a broken left middle finger. Ratliff said he fractured the tip of the finger on his non-shooting hand on Nov. 12 in Phoenix. The injury occurred near the end of the first half after he got the finger caught in Suns forward Amare Stoudamire's jersey. </div> Full Story
Finally, someone who's not a damn ***** other than Iverson. A broken finger isn't that bad, I know for a fact. And it's good to see him playing better. If you never watched the games, it'd seem like he was getting blocked just as often as he was doing it.
