LeBron James may be one tough mofo, but it doesn’t mean that he isn’t
human. Afterall, kings have been executed in the past don’t you know by ‘lesser’ mortals! In Cleveland’s loss today to Detroit, James sprained his left index finger in the second quarter when the basketball serf named, Nazr Mohammed went for a judo chop and hacked the king.
With the king missing, the Cavs were no competition for the tough Pistons who beat them 109-74. Once, LeBron copped the injury, a lot of the lustre went missing from the game because it marked the first time he returned to the Palace since torching the ‘D’ in the playoffs.
Richard Hamilton and Co. ran riot all over the Cavs and there was nothing they could do about it. Cleveland is a mediocre team without the king and it showed.
Speaking of injuries to key men, the Toronto Raptors lost both Chris Bosh and Andrea Bargnani to leg problems. The Raptors did beat the Memphis Grizzlies 103-91, but it came at a cost. Anthony Parker and Jose Calderon both filled the hole left by their more esteemed colleagues, but make no mistake, Toronto’s fortunes lie with Bosh.
Tony Parker continues his charmed run in life by playing excellent basketball today. Mr. Eva Longoria scored 29 points and dished off 11 assists in helping his team crap all over the Washington Wizards, 109-94.
The Frenchman did all his damage in the second half when he dropped 20 on the hapless Wizards, whilst getting his teammates involved in the process. Manu Ginobili chipped in with 19 and Timmy Duncan added a further 16. The Spurs were just too much for a Gilbert Arenas-less, Wizards squad to handle.
Coach Avery Johnson first came to Dallas and gave the squad a new identity when Don Nelson left, and it breathed new life into the Mavs. However, they have been highly inconsistent this season thus far.
Suffering from a three game losing streak, Dallas desperately needed a win and with Minnesota coming into town this should have been a relatively easy victory on paper. It didn’t quite work out that way.
Dirk Nowitzki played his usual high standard of basketball with 27 points and 11 rebounds, but the Mavs still made it heavy going. Al Jefferson for the T-Wolves was a big speed bump for the Mavs with 31 points and 14 rebounds. However, Dirk Diggler got nasty and with the help of some heavy 70s bass music was money, scoring eight points in the final five minutes. Dallas victorious 109-103.
Stephen ‘Action’ Jackson proved his value once again when he hit some massive 3-point baskets down the stretch to help the G-State Warriors pip the Sac-Town Kings, 103-96.
In a 20 second span, Jackson hit two huge 3-pointers when his team was struggling beyond the arc. The man has some mighty cojones.
Performance of the Day.
Dwight Howard for the Orlando Magic is arguably the best big man in the NBA right now. And if he isn’t, he will be, soon enough.
Today, Howard displayed his immense talent when he overwhelmed the Seattle Supersonics with an insane 39 point, 16 rebound and five block display. Dwight was all agility and hostility.
Want to know the scariest thing about Dwight? He is only 22 years old!
The clip for today is Dwight Howard showing off his unbelievable hops and ability to excite. Watch this video in awe and drool like one of Pavlov’s dogs.
