Line Of The Night — 01/02/2008
Line Of The Night:
Deron Williams — 20 assists, 15 points, 2 blocks, 1 board
The Jazz beat Philly last night, but at 18-16, they are still performing well under expectations. Don’t blame Deron though… 20 dimes!
Honorable Mention Of The Night:
John Salmons — 32 points, 11 boards, 6 assists, 6 steals
Give this man a contract! Oh… this was against the Knicks, nevermind.
Contraction Club Of The Night:
Indiana Pacers, 72 points vs. Memphis Grizzlies
Ugh. No Jamaal Tinsley led to a terrible 33.8% field goal percentage.
Minnesota Timberwolves, 79 points vs. Portland Trailblazers
We like this young Blazers squad. The T-Wolves probably don’t feel the same, now that they have been removed from the league. Al Jefferson seemed to be the only T-Wolve on the court last night.
Rookie Of The Night:
Mike Conley — 8 assists, 7 points, 6 boards, 3 steals
In his first career start, Conley put up a nice line and led his Grizz to a rare road victory. Let the Conley era begin?
Free Louis Williams Of The Night:
It’s easy to be Lou’s campaign manager when he’s making plays like he did last night. First, Lou went Alonzo Mourning on Mehmet Okur, standing dead in front of the rim and blocking a two-handed stuff attempt! He then ran the court and finished on the other end by catching an alley-oop! So sick.
The Bosh Caucuses Of The Night:
Although he really shouldn’t be voted ahead of LeBron or K.G., Chris Bosh is getting creative with this hilarious video , urging you to vote for him. Come on and vote for me!
L.O.N. C.E.O. vs. The Resident Scientist Bet Challenge Of The Night:
The C.E.O. is going to have to start thinking about selling L.O.N. stock to make good on this bet. Tim Thomas is sitting the bench due to injury, missing most of the last 5 games. And Maggette was supposed to be the injury risk! Current standings: Maximus 347 attempts, Tim Thomas 291.
Bulls announcing=unrepentant homerism… Happy New Year, Hawks fans! Lil’ Lue is back!… Marvin Williams = free throw MACHINE… The Rockets might’ve won that game if Bonzi could’ve gotten off the bench! He went for 25 in 29, while Luther Head played 33 mostly worthless minutes…
