Noteworthy: 12/16/2013

Way to Go:
Josh Smith and the Pistons, as they were the first to beat the Pacers on their homecourt.

Second game in a row for j.smith in which he had 30+ and 7 rebounds.  A better game tonight because he scored one less point on 12 less than shots than he did the previous game and his only block was this huuuuuuuge one in the final minute of the game.



A job well done to Joe Johnson as he went BIZERK, knocking down 10 threes for 37 points.  29 of those points was in the 42 point 3rd quarter that the Nets had in beating the 76ers.  For the record, Johnson's huge night also helped the Nets set a team record in making 21 threes in a game.

His first game back in almost a month.   Bradley Beal's right leg looked fine in helping him soar up for this game-winning drive to the basket against the Knicks.



Nice night for Lebron aside from what looked like a minor ankle injury in the 2nd half as he went for 30-9-9. That would have been tops for points, boards and assists for anyone that played in the Jazz vs Heat game except bench guy Alec Burks outscored Bron with 31 points.

Clippers are the 10th team to get the belt this season after taking it from the Spurs with the 23-point win.

If You Want to Set A Record for 3's Made In A Game as A Team
Play the Sixers.  Its been two nights in a row that the team that is playing the 76ers ties the record of 21 three pointers.  The Nets play the Sixers again in Philadelphia on Friday so I suspect a little tighter defense on the perimeter by those Sixers.

A Famous Person:
Paul Mccartney lookin' a little dissapointed at not catching a free shirt.


Disheartening:
A half court prayer that is answered, except that its not quite enough.  A description of what happened for the Bulls last night against the Magic and sadly not even the worse loss the Bulls have suffered this season.

2 Points


Taj Gibson only had two points and it was this ferocious one.  Two points is two points though and since the Bulls lost by 1, had Taj Gibson made a three, the Bulls could have gone into overtime.  So sometimes a ferocious dunk like this can't be enjoyed quite as much as we would like.
