Looks like NBA.com might be shutting it down for the year with some kind of fake ankle injury. Let’s roll on with the GMTR scores (close to the NBA ones, only like any good politician, they go negative).
It’s a sad, sad day. Isiah Thomas has probably/likely/with all certainty coached his last game at Madison Square Garden and, according to this article, he’s looking to be a part of some kind of ticker-tape parade. Maybe the one going on inside his head.
Line of the Night/Waiver Wire Line of the Night/Waiver Wire Line of the Year: Ramon Sessions (7.0) had a franchise record 24 assists for the Bucks (in a crazy game they lost to the Bulls 151-135). Sessions also added 20 points, making him the first Buck to throw down a 20 point-20 assist game, ever. Even for a franchise like Milwaukee, that’s impressive.
“It definitely wasn’t a playoff atmosphere.” – Joakim Noah after the game
Honorable Mentions: This is why it’s good idea to wrap up your fantasy league before the last week of the season. Here are the top 10 fantasy performances last night:
Ramon Sessions (7.0)
Chris Duhon (5.8) – 22 points, 15 assists
Roger Mason (5.5) – 31 points, 7 threes
Danny Granger (5.0) – 35 and 9 with 7 threes
Mike Dunleavy (4.9) – 26 points, 2 steals, 3 blocks
Monta Ellis (3.9) – 20/8/6 with 6 steals
Francisco Garcia (3.8) – 5 steals and 2 blocks
John Salmons (3.3) – 29 points, 10 rebounds
Tony Parker (3.3) – 32 points, 11 assists
James Posey (3.2) – 15 points, 5 threes
If you’re fighting for a championship right now, some of those lines have to scare you. Hell, I’m starting Francisco Garcia in one league and those lines still scare me.
Ridiculous Ron Artest story of the Day (via Empty the Bench): Mr. Artest’s personal assistant … fields late-night requests for organic cookies, is developing Mr. Artest’s line of athletic wear and was asked recently to remove what Mr. Artest thought were giant snake eggs in his backyard. They turned out to be mushrooms.
The Biggest Loser: Carmelo Anthony, who was arrested for DUI Monday morning in Denver at 4 am. Melo’s certainly had difficulty staying out of trouble during his career. In fact, I wasn’t particularly shocked or surprised when I heard the news, which is not a good sign.
Dishonorable Mentions: In on-the-court related news, Baron Davis (-8.5) only played 17 minutes and yet still managed to chuck up 13 shots. Unfortunately, he only made 2 of them. He also had 1 rebound and 3 assists and was benched in the second half by Don Nelson (says Nelson, “I gave Baron a much-needed rest the second half” … ouch!). Andre Iguodala (-7.3) on the other hand, played 43 minutes (although he didn’t fair much better). AI2 did have 8 rebounds, but that was negated but a 4-17 shooting performance, 1 assist and no steals or blocks.
And you can hand out a dishonorable mention to the refs in the Cavs/Sixers game for calling a mysterious foul on Samuel Dalembert with 0.2 seconds left in the game, allowing Devin Brown to hit 2 free throws in a 91-90 win for the Cavs. Hopefully this game is not a precursor to this year’s playoffs. I don’t think we’re ready to relive last year.
