Did it look like a foul to you? In one of the most bizarre endings I have ever seen, the Wiz are down 106-104 with 2.9 seconds to play when Gilbert Arenas catches the inbounds pass near the top of the key, drives right to the basket, and as the horn sounds he lofts an off-balance 1 handed jumper which misses everything…but…a whistle blows, the refs huddle and the verdict is: foul on Golden State's Mickael Pietrus with .1 seconds left…Warriors coach Don Nelson immediately loses his mind and storms onto the court spewing profanities, his face a tortured mask of rage á la George Brett and the pine tar…he is immediately assessed a technical foul, resulting in Gilbert Arenas toeing the line for 2 free throws for the foul and 1 more for the technical…Arenas makes the first two, and then Golden State calls time out to ice him…no matter, Arenas calmly sank the third foul shot for the win…unbelievable…Arenas’ comment after the game? "It was bizarre," Arenas said. "You've got to thank the refs for that one."…indeed…
The other bananas game from last night had two players combine for 1 Wilt Chamberlain…the Bulls Ben Gordon scored a career-high 48 points last night in a 126-121 comeback/overtime defeat of the Bucks who got 52 points from Michael Redd in the losing cause…Gordon was en fuego making 18 of 32 shots, including six 3-pointers…he 20 in the fourth quarter to key the comeback from an 18 point deficit...For the Bucks it marked the second time Redd has scored 50 points in a losing effort this season…Coincidentally, Redd also made 18 of 32 shots, including eight of 13 3-pointers…
How good are the Mavs right now? Well, according to Elias, the Mavericks have won 50 of their last 55 games after starting the season 0-4. They are only the second team in NBA history to win 50 of 55 games within one season: the 1995-96 Bulls also won 50 of 55 games at one point. (By the way, no team in the history of either Major League Baseball or the NHL has ever won 50-of-55 in one season, either.) The next logical question is if the Mavs are the leagues best team, is Dirk Diggler the Mavs leagues best player? Well, here’s some food for thought:
Nowitzki has scored 30 or more points in 12 of the past 27 games, shooting a shade under 52 percent over that span…
The Mavs are 16-0 when Dirk scores 30 or more…
Nowitzki also has already eclipsed last year's total of 35 double-doubles, notching 36 and barely missing a 37th as he had 24 points, nine rebounds and seven assists Saturday night vs. Orlando.
Nowitzki is shooting a career-high 50.4 percent from the field and 42.3 percent from 3-point range after posting career-best percentages in both those categories a year ago, when he finished third in MVP voting for the second consecutive year.
Nowitzki is shooting an astounding 53 percent in the second night of back-to-back games, leading the Mavs to an 11-0 record in such games.
OK I’m convinced…
Here’s the 1st of many mock drafts, and for the record, drafting Durant before Oden is lunacy…http://www.hoopshype.com/draft.htm
