Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

NBA.com entitles this week's edition of their Rookie rankings At Season's End, Rose Rises Highest with a picture of Derrick Rose in Rose Garden laying up the ball.

There's no doubt the article is about Derrick Rose but it looks like an obvious wink at the City of Roses' new mantra : Rip City Uprise. I love small jokes like these when there's a double meaning.

It's odd that they decided to use that picture of Rose

Especially since Rose didn’t really accomplish anything in that game and the Bulls were completely dominated by the Blazers.

It means Derrick Rose will play for the Trailblazers next season. The signs, they are everywhere

Greg Oden = Robert Parish (HOF, 4x NBA champion, 9x NBA All-Star). The only other rookie with more than 500 points, 400 rebounds, and 65 blocks in under 1400 minutes played. Since 1946.

Nope. All-Star weekend rookie game. The solution to this riddle has to do with our favorite Spaniard. But I still say it's a sign

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
