Line Of The Night — 12/11/2007
Line Of The Night:
Craig Smith — 36 points, 8 boards, 1 block
36!?!?!?!!! We didn’t think the T-Wolves big man had it in him… we demand game film!
Jason Kidd Of The Night:
Jason Kidd — 11 points, 11 assists, 10 boards, 2 steals
We’re not sure what is wrong with this team, but losing to the Clippers, in Dirty Jerse, by double-digits, is horrid.
I Can’t Feel My Face Of The Night:
T.J. Ford — 26 points, 8 assists, 2 boards, 1 steal
In only his 4th game back from injury, kid was ballin’, ballin’, ballin’ — the passes, the finishes, even the J was hittin’. Then it all came crashing down, literally. In a bizarre play, on a 1-on-1 fast break, A-T-L’s Al Horford ended up palming Ford’s face from behind, awkwardly bending his neck backwards. Ford fell to the ground out of control, slamming the back of his head on the court. This would be a scary moment for anyone, but especially young T.J., as he’s missed a season previously, due to neck issues. Early reports are good, and we hope it’s all gravy train, T.J.
They Done Got The Gang Back Together Of The Night:
It was a beautiful scene for the Cavs organization in Cleveland on Tuesday. The majority of last year’s NBA Finals squad were finally all together on the court. Only Boobie Gibson, out after wisdom teeth extraction, missed the affair. Anderson Varejao played in his first game of the season, while LeBron returned following a 5-game absence due to a finger injury. The star of the show, however, was Larry Hughes, re-cementing his Revolutionary status with 36 points in 26 minutes! Although the squad will probably need some time to fully gel, they cruised to a 118-105 victory over the Pacers, whom they currently trail in the standings.
Career-High Of The Night:
Martell Webster — 25 points, 5 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal
Dude’s J is niiiiiiiiice. Last week it was Travis Outlaw, now it’s Webster… they got something new for you every week. Flavor ON TOP of flavor. We’ve been thinking about how formidable this team will be next year with Oden in the mix, but wins like this, IN UTAH, have us thinking more about the present.
Matt Bonner went for 25 points and 17 boards last night. Sure it was Golden State, but Armageddon may be nigh… Message from Kris Humphries to Josh Smith: EAT YOUR BREAKFAST!!!!
