Dang that is sick.

Zo's a BEAST. I hope they start Shaq and zo in the same front court

Camby can do a lot more than Zo. Zo is just the better shot blocker at this moment of his carrier. He is not that much of an offensive threat anymore and his rebounding is solid but nothing special. BUt 9 blocks are insane

definitely a candidate for DPOY this season

Zo is playing like beast - 9 blocks in 24 minutes!
Blazers rookie Martell Webster is playing very well last games - tonight 10 points in pretty close game, then he had only 3 points, but @ Miami 13 points in 7 minutes... In Miami's game he played in garbage time, but in tonight's game wasn't any kind of garbage time, cuz it was close game...
If he continues to develop, he will turn into greta player.

I'm sorry, I was just cheering for my fantasy team. I thought Marcus Camby was sitting out last night (both are on my team) and he got enough blocks to cover him. Camby ended up playing. I currently hold a 12-0 lead in blocked shots thanks to Zo!

(Yeah, I wouldn't care, either. Just skip over this post.)

I've noticed that Knicks are playing very good in 2nd half, when they mostly break the game and turn it into win, if they're trailing. Example - last Saturday vs. 76ers they had 12-15 point deficit all 1st half and a half of 3rd quarter, but in 2nd half they closed the gap and in OT Knicks got win, after excelent Nate Robinson's game winner. Similar situation was tonight - Knicks won 4th quarter by 16 point margin and beat Bull...

Marcus Camby... the guy who just went for 16 points, 16 boards and 8 blocked shots!!! hahaha madness!! Zo and Camy going at each other for the block title this year. I wonder if either one of them will get a triple double with blocks. lol

"Paul Pierce doesn’t believe things are entirely as they appear with Iverson’s reputation for taking big hits. “I think people who just watch the game look at it as more of a physical thing than it really is,” said Pierce. “I think he’s a great actor also. You know, like when he comes off the screen and the big man hedges and he falls to the ground and gets to the free throw line? He played football. He’s a natural athlete. He knows how to fall.” Boston Herald

Kendrick Perkins is a beast... 12 pts 19 rebounds for the Celtics.

In other news, Sasha Vujacic has finally played a few minutes of NBA calibure basketball..... Who woulda thought.......

Also, Bowen is the greatest defender of all time...no other player can shut down guys and not get a single foul called on him........ most respected player in refereeing history...................

Highlights of the Night

-Ariza posterizing Big Ben

-Rip's season high game...big 40

-Zo's 7 blocks in 34 minutes

-the worst matchup of the season. Hawks vs Raptors. Entering the game, the two teams had only won 3 games combined. Hawks manage to lose to the worst game in the NBA. Charlie V has a game winning layup. It was actually the matchup in NBA history with combine records, just saw something on that on Sportcenter. JJ scores a career high 34 points.

-Mo Williams had a career night. 35 points, including a game winner against the Wiz. tonight.

-Pierce's 43 points on 21 attempts. First 40+ point game in two years.

-Suns comeback from 17 down at the half to beat Nuggets. Eddie House had 9 straight points in the final two minutes.

-Camby...another amazing one. 33 points, 20 rebounds, 3 blocks, 3 steals, and 2 assists in the loss.

First 40+ point game in two years
Man Peirce could get 40 on any given night. In the last 2 years he really stopped just scoring and has learned to play team ball.
Camby was insane again
And Zo get blocks like other people points. Its ridiculous.

warriors, top pacific first time since 92

People said they suck, it was luck last year... and they proved everyone wrong, they can make the playoffs since they play a great offense.

How we could blow out 18-point win and loose by 5. I would accept everything if we would still turn this game into victory, but... we lost

It's because of one man. BARON DAVIS. If he's not the starting PG of the ASG, then there will be something wrong w/ fan voting.

And if you've wathched the warriors, their defense hasn't been bad either. At one point they were 2nd in the league in opponent FG%. They dont' have individual good man on man defenders, but their team defense is pretty good. And Foyle is truly having a breakout season. A DPOY candidate imo. his defense has really been one of the keys this eyar. putting up 5 pts, 7 reb 2 blk. yeah, he gets 8 million, but i think 8 million for that production is more worth it htan 5 million for Jerom James 0 and 0 production

It's official, Hawks are the worst team I've ever seen....EVER. They were down by 37 tonight to the Suns, when both team's starters were in. They were able to cut that to under 20 when the scrubs were in, but that doesn't matter. The game was never close. I wish the Suns would have kept the starters in just to make it known around the league just how bad the Hawks are and that they don't deserve a spot in the NBA. I'm really ashamed to be in the same city as such crap.

Also, I've never heard a player get booed that loud every time he touched the ball (not named Kobe), like Joe Johnson did tonight. Suns fans really don't like him for leaving.

The funniest thing JSM is that the Hawks will likely win the lottery and pick Rudy Gay yet another tweener swingman

They are the ones getting the last laugh w/ DIAW putting up 10 pts, 6 reb, 6 assists..his play is just amazing

I feel sorry for Marvin Williams being in that SF filled bench..he finally got some PT tonight it looks like

tell me about it

Aldridge would be an IDEAL choice for them..though Gay is the better talent

I would also pick Aldridge. A F/C is what they need but I also know their affinity to swing men , No honestly they will go by need this time instead of talent. They MUST take Aldridge
