Line Of The Night — 01/15/2008
Line Of The Night:
LeBron James — 51 points, 9 assists, 8 boards, 3 steals, 1 block
Wow. The feisty Grizz forced OT, but King James was not to be denied. And we will say this every time it comes up… Charles, you best believe Cleveland is making the Playoffs! That’s pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point.
Blast From The Past Of The Night:
Sam Cassell — 32 points, 7 assists, 6 boards, 1 steal
Vintage Sam-I-Am. He’s been a Suns killer this season, and it was no different Tuesday night. The difference this time is that the Clip Joint actually managed to BEAT Phoenix. We previously dismissed all the Phoenix “chemistry” trouble talk as bull, since they lead their division, but when you start losing to the Clippers this season, we’ll take notice. And at least temporarily, for the first time in a long time, the Suns are not in first place in the Pacific. That’s the Lakers’ spot for now.
Blast From Past Part II Of The Night:
Antoine Walker — 26 points, 10 boards, 1 steal
Maybe ‘Toine’s night inspired Sam, as he saw that old, many-team guys can still get it done. Both realize that at their age, though, they need to be efficient, as both B.F.P.P.O.N. recipients scored a point per minute. The only difference, Employee No. 8 couldn’t lead his T-Wolves to a win against the visiting Warriors.
Diana Ross in the frontrow for the Clippers/Suns game… Houston just can’t figure this thing out. A home loss to Philly?…
