Line of the Night: Al Harrington (11.3) or Deron Williams (10.9) might have won on any other day, but today let’s honor Jason Kidd (11.3) and his triple double – 16 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists. Kidd must be approaching his, what, one billionth career triple double? Like McDonalds, he just gets them served. Ah, you get what I’m trying to say. Why would anybody have drafted Chris Paul before Kidd this year? It doesn’t make any sense.
Goat of the Night: Kirk Hinrich (-5.3). I though about giving this one to the entire Bulls team, but I fear Nels would start hunting me down for sport like in the movie The Game. So, we’ll hand this one to Hinrich (3 for 12 from the field, 0 for 5 for threes, and 6 turnovers) with nods to Tyrus Thomas (1 for 7 from the floor) and Luol Deng (4 for 11). So, this offense doesn’t need Kobe, huh?
