Line Of The Night — 11/02/2007
Line Of The Night:
LeBron James — 45 points, 7 boards, 7 assists, 3 steals, 1 block
Must have been rocking Young Buck, ’cause he bounced back against the Knicks, after a horrid opening game.
Near Oscar Robertson Of The Night:
Baron Davis — 22 points, 11 assists, 8 boards, 1 steal
46 minutes in a loss to the Clip Joint. Thought Nellie was limiting his time on the floor this year?
Contraction Club Of The Night:
Dirty Jers Nets 69 points vs. Toronto.
Apparently all of the members of the Nets (other Jeff Richardson, 27 points) forgot about the game and decided to attend the opening of hometown-based opus American Gangster. Guess they figured that was a better way to please their boss, Jay-Z, who did the soundtrack.
Beast Of The Night:
Marcus Camby — 21 boards, 14 points, 6 blocks, 3 assists, 1 steal
Are the Nuggets the early number two in the power polls? Are they the new Phoenix? Will Camby win the rebounding title?
Kevin Garnett — 22 points, 20 boards, 5 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks
The Kid says, “No, that is mine.” And KG, how did those Carolina grits taste? Brendan Haywood says: EAT YOUR BREAKFAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The C’s were impressive in the debut of the Big 3, for sure. And has Doc Rivers been talking to Belichick? Already up twenty, late in the 4th, Paul Peezy was pounding it in to K.G.! It was awesome though, with K.G. scoring and the crowd going nuts.
Rookie Of The Night:
Daequan Cook — 17 points, 5 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals
Cook got Penny’s burn from last night, and made the most of his time. This may be short-lived success though, as D-Wade was cleared medically to play today. Now at 0-2, the Heat need him desperately.
From Where?!?!???!! Of The Night:
Kelenna Azubuike — 33 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block
It’s bled over into the regular season, ya’ll. Announcers everywhere are crying into their beers.
L.O.N. C.E.O. vs. The Resident Scientist Bet Challenge Of The Night:
With Elton Brand out, L.A. Clippers offensive alpha dog status is up for grabs. A couple of L.O.N. employees put a little friendly wager on the situation. The C.E.O. has Tim Thomas and the Resident Scientist has Maggette. The bet? Total field goal attempts for the season.
Maximus took the early lead Friday night, 12-9.
Is DeShawn Stevenson’s new beard a tattoo as well?… Ricky Davis with a career-high 14 boards. Fantasy beast so far… Yi = Chinese for foul. 2 games, 35 minutes, 10 fouls!… Spurs ROLLING… American Gangster = great. Who knew we’d like Russell Crowe so much in it?…
