Line Of The Night — 04/21/2008
Line Of The Night AKA Near Fat Lever Of The Night:
LeBron James — 30 points, 12 assists, 9 boards, 2 blocks, 1 steal
This is what happens when you try to bully perhaps the most physically gifted NBA player of all-time. The Wizards seemed obsessed with trying to foul the Cavs on every lay-up, and forgot about playing the game of basketball. The King is clearly in their heads.
Near Fat Lever Part II Of The Night:
Tracy McGrady — 23 points, 13 boards, 9 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks
The man did everything he could in an effort to will the Rockets to victory, but the deeper Jazz are simply the better team. The way McGradles’ career is playing out is eerily similar to that of K.G. — year-after-year of 1st round knockouts, in which he has rarely been the favorite. Well he ever get it done in Houston? Or will he have to move on to a fourth franchise to truly make his post-season mark?
PWNage Of The Night:
DeShawn, DeShawn, DeShawn — you just got pwned. Damon Jones with the Yayo Dance after a late 3! That is what happens when you talk trash about LeBron and then celebrate a meaningless three when your team is down double-digits. Now you can understand Stevenson’s recent naming to the All-Airhead squad! Also you gotta love Damon’s sense of the moment and ability to always unexpectedly work his way into Playoff storylines.
Manu Ginobili wins the 6th Man Of The Year… Kevin Garnett wins Defensive Player Of The Year… Scott Skiles hired to coach the Bucks. Should be a good fit, at least for about 2 years… Isiah Thomas, still employed by the Knicks in an undefined role, banned from any contact with the Knicks’ players…
