As the "white" team from the Harvey Scott basketball league knocks down a last second bucket for the 4 - 2 victory over the "blue" team, it seems like a good time to go over both teams expected starters.

The Kings will run out Ben Udrih, Mikki Moore, Brad Miller, Kevin Martin and Ron Artest to start, with John Salmons, Francisco Garcia and Quincy Douby rounding out the rotation.

One thing you can expect, though, is that this lineup will run. Mikki Moore excelled with Jason Kidd throwing him fastbreak passes last year in New Jersey and Ron Artest is an excellent finisher on the break.

The Trail Blazers will begin with their new starting lineup of Steve Blake, Brandon Roy, Martell Webster, LaMarcus Aldridge and Channing Frye.

LaMarcus Aldridge should be a focal point of the offense early on. Brad Miller is flat-out too slow to contain the sophomore power forward and, although he works hard, Mikki Moore is not nearly strong enough to slow Aldridge down.

It's also important to point out that rookie center Spencer Hawes is a member of the growing list of athletes who have recovered from microfracture surgery. Hawes had the procedure done when he was 14 years old and it hasn't slowed him down a bit...
