This is going to have to be a quick one since I was chaperoning a field trip this morning. If you’re lucky, I might post a picture of the piece of art crap I made with 18 students from a local Chicago high school. I might also post a picture of the pasta sauce arugula grilled cheese sandwich I just made. That was the real work of art.

Line of the Night: Mo Williams (4.99) really took it to the NBA.com Player Rater by getting NO steals and NO blocks last night, but still taking home the Line of the Night. No offense to Mo, but this is one of the worst Lines of the Night I think I’ve ever seen. I mean, 37 points is all well and good, but 12/22 shooting isn’t like Dwight Howard good. And 3/6 three pointers is only just decent for someone like Mo Williams. Tack on the 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, and sure it’s good line, but Line of the Night? Really?

Honorable Mentions: Vince Carter (4.86) had kind of a similar line to Mo, with 26/8/5, but added 2 blocks and 2 assists in there; Shawn Marion (4.79) was pretty close in there with 24/8/2 and also had 2 and 2; Steve Nash (4.75) had a very Steve Nashy kind of line with 25/2/13. There’s more, but when you’ve been through 120 days of basketball games, last night just seemed kind of average all around.

Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Steve Blake (3.66) was only 4/11 from the field, but made 7/7 free throws for 17 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and a steal. I’m not sure why he wasn’t ranked higher, consider the other performances last night.

Earl Watson was out with a respiratory infection, so Luke Ridnour (3.53) put up 8/6/15 with 3 steals. I’m not saying you should pick him up now, but this is the kind of thing you should remember, so that if you hear anything about Earl Watson getting injured, you immediately run to a computer and pick up Ridnour. Or, just use someone’s iPhone. That’s what they’re made for, you know.

The Biggest Loser: This was an easy one. The day after scoring 33 points and hitting a game winning shot, DeShawn Stevenson (1.06) had the second to worst line of the night, going 2/12 from the field, and 1/3 from the line for a total of 5 points. He also had 1 rebound and 2 assists.

Other Stuff Like This:

  • Rotoman, it's funny, I just read your review of their review, and then got this comment... so, 2 things.

    1. To put something up on the Midnight Snacks, all I do is hit Shift + S in Google Reader. If it took more effort than that, I probably wouldn't do it.

    2. You're allowed to put links to your own stuff in the comments. As long as it doesn't have words on the blacklist (which has way too many words on it now; you wouldn't even believe some of the porn spam stuff that bots try to get on here), you can link away. I think if you put more than 2 or 3 links it'll hold it for moderation (again, because people like to spam with links to all their wonderful Google Groups). For now, I've put up your review of the CBS review in the Midnight Snacks.
  • What up guys? Love your web site, you know that. I'm one of your biggest fans.

    This really doesn't have anything to do with your post, so feel free to eliminate it -- I'm fine with that. I just noticed that you put up CBS Sports Week 18 Stockwatch.

    It just pisses me off. Not that you put it up there. CBS does. Some of it is so unbelievably basic. It's laughable.

    So I just wondered if you would give me the opportunity to "review their review."

    I've put a post up on my site that "reviews their review" and if you wanna link to it -- great. If not, no problemo.

    I just thought it might be a good point - counterpoint type thing.

    Regardless, I love ya guys.
