Line of the Night: Deron Williams (5.90) had 29, 3, and 12 while shooting 10/14 from the field, and 7/8 from the line. He deuced it up with 2 threes, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. I Heart Deron Williams?
Honorable Mentions: LeBron (5.74) must have still been all psyched up from throwing it down on Nowitzki, because he had a triple-double (26/13/11) trying to do everything against Houston; when I put it this way: 13/3/9 for a normal player, it’s not that great. But when I say that about Marcus Camby (5.12), you konw it’s rebounds, steals, and blocks. Nine blocks. Ho hum. Just another game from Marcus Camby. Earl Watson (5.05) should be picked up if he isn’t already gone (or if you’re playing Big Ball and don’t need a true PG). He is proving himself to be Oklahoma City’s Point Guard.
Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Francisco Garcia (4.21) stepped up in the absence of Mike Bibby, scoring 23 points on 5 threes and adding 6 rebounds. That’s the kind of SG you want on your Big Ball team. Or your Mid Ball team. I mean, Keith Van Horn is back, right? Right??
Other guys on the Hot or Not Watch Meter: Keith Bogans (4.07) had 3 threes and a decent shooting night. Not much else, but if you’re into that thing, he’ll be good to you. Marko Jaric (3.65) came back strong despite boning his girlfriend all weekend after resting up all weekend. Acie Law (3.50). Hooray! Another scoring PG for Atlanta! Luis Scola (3.46) is looking like a decent backup C. Or, a decent starting C if one of your centers is injured right now. Anthony Carter (3.35) had another Small Ball PG type game. I’m going with he also has a hot WAG rested a lot this past weekend.
What The Eff Line of the Night: Kobe Bryant (4.87) find himself at number 5 with 23/5/3 and 5 steals. This from a guy who played 3 minutes in the All Star game cause he has some bone floating around in his finger? There’s determination… and then there’s kinda stupid. You decide.
The Biggest Loser: Tayshaun Prince (1.97) has been hot and cold all year. He used to be a really good Mid Ball kind of guy. Now he’s not enough dependable enough to fill a spot on that mythical team. His 9/1/2 on 4/10 shooting with 1 steal was proof enough of that.
