Robinson had a monster year; it's the first 20 Win Share season we've seen; he's just first all over the board across multiple Cats in the NBA. Rodman has his typical year on the boards; we just saw a Spurs team from 4 years prior; Anderson and Cummings are still here, but coming off the bench.

Some big time matchups in this play in game; David Robinson, 28, smack in his prime against a 29 year old Moses Malone, Rodman's 32 against a rookie 21 year old Charles Barkley.
