Line of the Night: Jamaal Tinsley (5.9). Congrats to anyone who took a risk on Tinsley at the start of the year. The guy who has never been able to stay healthy hasn’t missed a game all season and has rewarded owners with an average of 8.4 assists and 1.9 steals in 18 games. According to the game recap, the Clippers’ game plan was to leave Tinsley wide open on the perimeter. I can’t believe that didn’t work, it seems like a flawless plan. Tinsley ended with 29 and added 7 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 steals, and 3 threes.

Honorable Mentions: Grant Hill (5.5) also hasn’t missed a game all year; Kobe Bryant (5.1) scored 28; Amare Stoudemire (5.0) went for 28/12; Stephen Jackson (4.8) only scored 20 but had 3 steals and 4 threes; and Chris Kaman (4.6) had the very palindromeal 22 points and 22 rebounds.

Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Nothing too exciting happened on waivers yesterday, which means Brent Barry (4.0) kind of wins by default. His night – 17 points with 3 threes – was nothing to write home about, but he made just about every shot he took and player raters like that kind of thing. Quentin Richardson (4.0) probably had his best game of the year with 15 points, 9 rebounds, and six assists in 41 minutes. He also took 10 threes and made 3 of them. Player raters don’t like that kind of thing.

For today only, the special Doing More With Less Line of the Night: Adonal Foyle (3.0). Foyle managed to score 8 points, grab 7 rebounds, and block 3 shots in 12 minutes of action. It is, of course, wrong to assume that if he played 40 minutes, Foyle would have scored 26 points, grabbed 23 rebounds, and blocked 10 shots. But it’s still fun to imagine.

Goat of the Night: I’ll spare Tim Duncan (1.3) who only played 11 minutes before colliding with James Jones in the first half of last night’s game against the Blazers. It looks like he’ll miss a game or two, but should be fine in the long run. Instead, the nod goes to Brandon Roy (1.4) who scored 4 points on 1 for 9 shooting in 33 minutes in beat down loss to the Duncan-less Spurs.

Other Stuff Like This:

  • Leonard, it's funny how that stuff works out sometimes. I remember people dogging on Marcus Camby for years and then last year he goes out and has an awesome year and plays in 70 games. You just never know.

    I picked up Jamaal "Mel Mel The Abuser" Tinsley (LOL) 14th round so I'm happy to see him on the Line of the Night.

    I'm sad and happy for Timmy. You PRAY it isn't anything serious but fantasy happy because I have Tony Parker who's going to be the new go to guy.(woot!)

    I find it ironic now that Kirk was taken 2 picks before I could take him and picked Tony up in hopes he would come close to his status.

    Soon as the draft was over I tried like HELL and offered 3 different trades to get Captain Kirk for Air France...I bet he hates himself 1000x over now lol
  • I'd hold off on that. I understand why you'd want to trade Camby while he's playing well and healthy, but I think you'd be able to get more than Granger for him.

    Hi, I have Yao, Camby and Dalembert on my team, Dalembert is on my bench and Camby and Yao are starting. Someone is my league needs a center and offered these guys:

    Carter, Anthony
    Rondo, Rajon
    Harrington, Al
    Granger, Danny
    Azubuike, Kelenna

    Do you think Granger for Camby is a good trade right now, considering Camby is playing well and is not hurt?
