Day 121 of 170: LeBron is younger than Amare

LeBron may have become the youngest player to score 10,000 points, but the NBA.com Player Rater did not forgive his 7/24 shooting from the field. Nor his lack of steals and blocks. No sir. 2.87.

Line of the Night: Amare Stoudemire (6.17) only has 7,331 points, but he also has the Line of the Night with 32/14/4 on 11/19 FG and 9/10 FT, not to mention 4 blocks and a steal.

Honorable Mentions: I think we’re going to have a lot of these today, so I’m just going to make a list:

(PTS/REB/AST/STL/BLK)

Brad Miller: 25/13/6/2/1 + 3 threes! (5.53)
Chris Paul: 25/6/15/3/0 + 2 threes (no exclamation point) + 1 turnover! ! ! That’s an Assist2Turnover ration of 15:1!!! (5.44)
Marcus Camby: 12/14/4/2/5 Ho hum. Another day at the office for Camby. (5.33)
Mike Bibby: 25/5/12/1/1 – Guess it just took a sec to get into the swing of things in Atlanta. (5.09)

Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Anthony Carter (4.88) is probably available in some less competitive leagues where people don’t know who he is. Vince Carter’s cousin? I don’t know. He was a perfect 4/4 from the field last night for 12 points, 4 rebounds, and 12 assists. Add in the 4 steals and everyone on Denver is looking like a decent fantasy player at this point. Well, everyone who’s in their 7 man rotation playing more than 20 minutes.

If Carter isn’t available to you, and you have daily roster changes, take a look at Jannero Pargo (4.13). He looks like he’s in for another 2-3 good games if you pick him up right now.

Martell Webster (3.90) had 15/5/2 with 3 steals and 2 threes.

The Biggest Loser: I kind of want to go with LeBron, since he did clock in at #78 last night with that awe-ful shooting. But since I already mentioned him, let’s find someone else to pick on. How about Andrei Kirilenko (1.91)? He played 24 minutes last night, but ended up with only 4 points, 1 rebound, and 2 assists. To his credit, he did have a block, and has been averaging 1.7 blocks per game this season.

The Eddy Curry Watch: Curry (1.92) finished just ahead of Kirilenko last night, because he had a (presumably) career high 2 blocks! Way to go Big Eddy! He also added 0 points on 0/3 shooting, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist. No turnovers, though! And I’m going to assume that in only 16 minutes of PT, he didn’t have enough time to try to take someone off the dribble from outside the three-point line. I bet he totally could have taken Emeka Okafor or Nazr Mohammed for a ride, though. In other Knicks news, Zach Randolph hoisted 2 more three pointers last night.
