No really, he has a fetish for holding big snakes in his hands. Get your mind out of the gutter. I am actually talking about the reptiles. This is a funny video though because of the quotes like “I have a snake four times that size.” We’ll let the host of the show be the judge of that.
Lakers 117 - Kings 105
Last night in the Lakers game against their long time in state rivals the Kings, Kobe Bryant got a mixed reaction in Sac-town. Some of the crowd was booing him everytime he touched the ball but some of the crowd was also yelling “M-V-P!”
I don’t know what he payed more attention too but he used it all as motivation to take over in the fourth quarter, as we’ve grown accustom to from him. He finished with 34 points but he scored 17 of those points in ridiculous fourth quarter performance that led the Lakers to the 117-105 win over the Kings.
Pau Gasol also scored 31 points and Lamar Odom finished with 19 points and 12 rebounds. He has been flying under the radar but I think that the way he wanted it. Since the Gasol trade he has played out of his my mind.
Suns 97 - Blazers 92
The Suns went up big on the Blazers in this one, so you’d think that they would cruise to a win right? Building up a 23 point lead is usually a good sign but when you’ve been playing poorly, anything can happen, including nearly blowing a 23 point lead.
The Suns were trying to avoid losing their third straight game and despite a late run from the Blazers, they managed to hold on for the 97-92 victory.
Apparently the commissioner David Stern watches TV on two televisions, classic.
Spurs 81 - Nets 70
You know your playing well when you can shoot poorly and defend poorly and you still win the game. Even though the Spurs were guilty of both last night, they still managed to continue their win streak by beating the Nets 81-70 at home last night. The Spurs have the quietest win streak going right now.
The Spurs are currently in first place in the West and have won 10 games in a row. You probably wouldn’t even know it but they are just quietly going about their business and making their late season push like they usually do.
Jazz 116 - Mavericks 110
Utah lost one of their starters, and lost a big lead but they still managed to hold on long enough for a win.
The Jazz went on a momentum changing fourth quarter and knocked down all 18 free throws in the fourth quarter, to help them to the 116-110 win over the Mavs at home. This helped them to maintain the best home record in the lead and leave them near the top of the Western conference where they need to be if they want to have a chance to go anywhere.
The crowd didn’t appreciate Dirk Nowitzki in the first quarter and the rest of the game after he fouled Andrei Kirilenko hard and took him out of the game. AK47 is ok though, he got X-rays on his hip and they were negative.
Hornets 100 - Knicks 88
This was actually a close game, until late in the fourth when the Hornets went on a 10-0 run to end the game, not a bad way to close out a game.
Chris Paul had a hand in three of the clutch baskets that solidified to Hornets 100-88 victory over the Knicks. Paul scored two of the baskets himself and got the ball to Tyson Chandler for an alley oop.
No one can question David Lee’s hustle, but just like a lot of Knicks, sometimes he tends to help out the other team more than his own.
Lakers 108 - Mavericks 104
In the first half Kobe Bryant missed 7 of his first 10 free throws. He went on to hit 15 of 15 in the fourth quarter and overtime to lead the Lakers to a 108-104 victory in overtime over the new look Mavs. Kobe finished the game with 52 points after scoring 30 points in the fourth and overtime.
The Mavs tried all sorts of different defenses to stop him but none of them worked.
“We gave him a single look, then we double-teamed him, then we gave him a triple-team and he split the triple-team and scored,” Johnson said. “We tried to zone him, we tried to funnel him in the trap for a zone and he went the other way. He didn’t cooperate on any of our defenses.
“Obviously he milked the free throw line on us and he just had it all going. He’s a great player. He has these (games). Lots of these.”
The game went to overtime when Jason Kidd found Dirk Nowitzki for a game tying three pointer after the Mavs managed to lose the lead they had for most of the second half. Once the game went into overtime, Kobe took over helping the Lakers to a 3 point lead with just second to go. Jason Kidd made a great play by getting a layup and a foul but he folded under the pressure and missed the game tying free throw.
Rockets 103 - Nuggets 89
The Rockets have managed to continue the seasons longest winning streak and tying the longest winning streak that the Rockets have had in franchise history, both years that they had those winning streaks they won the championship, we’ll see how that works out for them this time.
The Rockets didn’t need the injured Yao Ming to beat the 9th place Nuggets at home last night in their 103-89 win. The Rockets took the lead at the end of the first quarter and they did not look back after that. They led for the rest of the game and by double digits for most of it. Tracy McGrady finished with 22, Shane Battier had 20 and Luis Scola had 18. Dikembe Mutombo even came up big, getting 3 blocks and thouroughly getting on Kenyon Martin’s nerves, LoL.
Cavaliers 95 - Bulls 86
For Drew Gooden and Larry Hughes, they finally found out firsthand what many other teams in the league already know, LeBron James and getting better and better, more and more dominant and he is nearly unstoppable in the fourth quarter at this point in his career.
James’ former teammates now play for the Bulls and they, like other teams, were not able to stop LeBron when it counted and he took over to finish with 37 including a key stretch in the fourth when he scored six straight points. His production lead the Cavs to a 95-86 win.
Spurs 97 - Mavericks 94
Tim Duncan led the way for the Spurs against the new look Mavs. This was the Mavs first game against a team with a winning record since the trade for Jason Kidd. They looked pretty good in this Texas showdown, going back and fourth with the NBA champions before the champs finally went up for good at the end of the fourth.
Tim Duncan finished with a game high 31 points and 15 rebounds. Jason Kidd had just 7 points but also added 10 assists and 4 rebounds.
Lakers 106 - Heat 88
This was a game between two teams that are going in two different directions. Two teams that have traded Shaq away after winning titles with him.
The Lakers have now won 10 straight games after their 106-88 win over the Heat. The Lakers were lead by Jordan Farmar who had 24 points which is a career high. Kobe Bryant scored 21 points with 8 assists.
Nets 120 - Bucks 106
Devin Harris lead the way for the Nets in his debut as a New Jersey Net. Harris scored 16 of his 21 points in an early spurt and the Bucks were never really able to recover. The Nets went on to win, 120-106 over the Bucks.
Rockets 94 - Wizards 69
So yesterday the Rockets got the devastating news that their star Yao Ming would be out for the rest of the season and they were doing so well too. I’m starting to think that someone must have put a hex on them.
Last nights game was their first game Yao-less but they didn’t need him to beatdown the Wizards at home last night 94-69.
Luther Head led the way for the Rockets by scoring 18 points. Luis Scola had 14 points, Rafer Alston had 13 points and Tracy McGrady had 11.
Around the league
Pistons 116 - Suns 86
The Pistons are a team that always plays better against better competition, so of course they were gonna be ready for Shaq and the Suns but yesterdays game was ridiculous. The Pistons beat the Suns by 30 points in a 116 - 86 beatdown.
“This was a big game for us,” Billups said. “You know how we are, man, when we play against other elite teams, we lock in. We lock in big-time. I thought everybody played great today - everybody.”
Six Pistons scored in double figures, lead by Rasheed Wallace who had 22 points and completely dominated downlow.
Cavaliers 109 - Grizzlies 89
So apparently LeBron and his new teammates didn’t really need much time to get acquainted with his new squad. Now to be fair, they were playing the Grizzlies but it is what it is.
LeBron James finished the game with 25 points and 11 assists and all of the players picked up in the big trade contributed in the Cavs 109-89 win over the Grizzlies.
Ben Wallace, who started at power forward, scored 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Delonte West, the starter at point guard, scored five points with six assists. Joe Smith and Wally Szczerbiak, came off the bench. Smith scored 14 points while Szczerbiak had 10.
