			<description><![CDATA[In the HOUSTON CHRONICLE, Fran Blinebury writes "the NBA's oldest player said back in training camp that this — his 17th — would be his final NBA season. But now, with the Rockets and the NBA planning a halftime tribute during tonight's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he's not so sure. NBA commissioner David Stern and Rockets owner Leslie Alexander will honor the league's second-leading shot-blocker of all time and its foremost humanitarian. The Rockets will present Mutombo with an oil painting that depicts many of the key moments in his career, and Alexander will make a $500,000 donation to the Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital and Research Center, the 300-bed hospital named after his late mother that he built in his hometown of Kinshasha, Democratic Republic of Congo. Each fan will be given a commemorative foam finger in honor of his trademark finger wag after a blocked shot.”]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In the ARIZONA REPUBLIC, Paul Coro writes "the Suns are going where no other NBA team has had success this season. Phoenix opens a four-game, six-day road trip with Eastern Conference powers Detroit and Boston. Six other teams have faced the Pistons and Celtics consecutively this season, and none beat both. Chicago and Dallas were the only teams to go to Detroit and Boston successively and come away winless, with Dallas averaging 83.5 points in the games. If the Suns still are the NBA's hottest team after Monday's game at Detroit and Wednesday's visit to Boston, they surely will have earned the tag.”]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In the OREGONIAN, Jason Quick writes "Nate McMillan was huffing. And puffing. And sweating. So when the Trail Blazers coach gave his assessment of a day in the life of Greg Oden, it was with broken and gasping words. ‘This,' McMillan said, catching his breath before continuing. ‘This is the real deal. The kid is going to be all right'. The kid, of course, was Oden, the 20-year-old center for the Blazers who is spending his first NBA season on the sidelines while rehabbing a surgically repaired right knee. And the ‘real deal' was a steep, half-mile residential street in Tigard that in Blazers parlance has come to be known as ‘The Hill.' Oden did the first third of the hill in side-to-side steps, as if he were guarding a player going baseline to baseline. In the middle section of the hill, Oden jogged backward. On regular days -- Oden does this workout three times a week -- Oden finishes the final third of the hill walking straight ahead.”]]></description>
