Sports InsiderCan any team out there stop the Mavericks? Any franchise? If you
can, please step forward now and prove otherwise because the Mavs are raging hot favourites to win the whole thing at this point in the season. After a shocking start that saw everyone scratch their head in wonder at what was wrong with the ‘D’ the boys switched it on and subsequently won 50 of their next 55 games. Impressive streak that no?
The latest victims of the Dallas juggernaut was the hapless Orlando Magic who had the misfortune of having the big three from the Mavs firing on all cylinders. Jason Terry had a game leading 29 points complimented with 15 assists. While his fellow compatriots Dirk Diggler had 24 points, nine rebounds and seven dimes with Josh Howard also making a cameo scoring 21 points. Dallas ultimately won the game 103-98 after a harder than expected struggle.
Meanwhile the other two Texan teams faced off against one another with San Antonio coming up trumps against Houston, 97-74. To say this was a spanking is an offence to S&M lovers the world over.
It was all Tim Duncan today who was an unstoppable force of nature scoring 26 points with 15 of them coming in the first quarter alone. Tracy McGrady for the Rockets was also on fire in the first half with 21 points but the solid San Antonio defence was the difference between the two squads.
LeBron James got his team and his season back on track with an outstanding performance running all over the Toronto Raptors, 120-97. Bron-Bron scored a delicious 36 points but it
was his two year old son that rattled him the most in a game where none of the Raptors could stop King James.
While shooting a free throw LeBron James Junior was sitting in the front row, caught the attention of his dad then proceeded to poke out his tongue at his old man making James laugh and miss the free throw. Luckily for the Cavs that one point wasn’t very important to the overall result. Here’s James’ take on junior taking him out of his groove; “I'm already getting a hard time from everybody else, and now my son's sticking his tongue out at me and wanting me to miss," James said, laughing. "He can do that. He made me concentrate more. It's easy for him to take my concentration away. He's the only one that can do that.” (Withers, AP, 2007)
Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis had massive games and put up All-Star efforts? What year is this? The year 2000? Wrong. It’s 2007 and both Stephon Marbury aka Starbury and Stevie Francis were the big guns for the Knicks in their win over the Hawks, 104-100 in overtime.
Starbury scored 11 of his 38 points in the overtime period while The Player Formerly Known as the Franchise dropped a very nice 26. Francis and Marbury also scored all of the points for New York in the overtime period as well. Well, done chaps and take a bow to the Broadway crowd.
And thanks to Charles from Soccer.org.au and zcars.com.au which are two of the many sites he edits who pointed out that the other NBA slam dunk competition clip is no longer available. Well, here is another one.
