Portland @ Atlanta: There is an interesting little rivalry between these two teams over the last few seasons. As someone who advocated for the Hawks to go after Andre Miller this off-season, it should be compelling to see how Miller and Mike Bibby fare. Another nice parallel in Blazers/Hawks games is how their strengths matchup- both feature lead scorers at the SG slot, athleticism (albeit different types of it) from their power forwards, and solid production on the boards from the C's. Also, it marks a game for Greg Oden a stone's throw away from where he played for the National Championship less than three years ago.
