For all his flaws, and Evans has many as a player, not least of which is an utter inability to put the ball through the hoop, he’s a rebounding machine.For comparison’s sake, Evans grabbed 25.7% of all available rebounds last season. Kevin Garnett led Boston in rebounds and grabbed 17.5% of available rebounds. Jermaine O’Neal led Boston by grabbing 7.6% of available offensive rebounds. Evans snatched 17.3%, and somehow elevated the notoriously soft Toronto Raptors to the exact same rebound rate (49.5%) held by Boston.Evans’ younger brother, Tyreke, has more offensive ability in a single hair follicle than Reggie has in his entire body.

This is how you know it's official. Pictures of NBA players are finally allowed to be on team and league websites. Man, this is almost as exciting as the games themselves. There's nothing better than going to NBA.com to see still-shots of the stars that I wouldn't be able to see unless I had ESPN (or any of their 562 subdivisions) with their fancy motion picture technology...

To be honest, I never thought we would have a season preview. Considering all the talk about how far apart the owners and players were on making a deal, most people can understand my pessimism on the topic. Maybe it was a scare tactic. Maybe they just wanted more publicity because they pulled a “miracle”.
