    I watched Gallinari torch him in a Euro game in 2007 and didn't think he could play D on elite players. His offense was never a question.

    :wink:

    Nah, but I did watch him in the 2007 Hoops summit game where he went off (against Jerryd Bayless' team no less) and I thought that he was pretty crazy athletic ... the thought that he'd ever end up in a Blazers uniform never really crossed my mind.

    Every game, I divide the ESPN efficiency by the minutes and multiply by 100. Tonight, Deron Williams had a 215 and Batum 211. It's unusual to see a 200 and I've never seen two in one night.

    If it makes you feel any better, by Hollinger's "Game Score" formula, Batum had a 34.6 tonight, and Deron only had a 34.2. The main difference there is that Hollinger factors in personal fouls, and gives additional value to offensive rebounds (of which Nic had 2 to Deron's 1).

    Either way, they were both awesome tonight. Is this where I point out that we could have had them both right now had we not traded down for Webster?

    Is this the first game we've won where Camby played? I don't count the game where he was injured, as he only played a few minutes.
