Feb 9/ 08

The Expected: Yao - 28 points, 9 boards, 3 assists, 2 blocked shots.  Right around his season averages in all categories, except an added 4 points to his 22 season average in points.
The Disappointing: The Hawks - No players from the starting line up register double digits in any catergory.  Starting line-up shots 18-50, and no players hit a 3 pointer in the game
The Surprising: Ellis scoring 34 points, 16 in the 4th, doubling his season average.  He added 9 boards and 5 assists.

Blazers (28-22) L
The Blazers get another loss while Roy is out of the line-up.  Who has been out of the line-up for two games due to a death in the family.
Aldridge has a good game with 21 points and 11 rebounds
Jack records 15 points and 10 dimes
Outlaw and Frye come off the bench for 15 and 14

Pacers (21-30) W
Granger goes big tonight for 29
Diener gets way above his season averages of 5 and 2, going for 15 points and 9 assists
Rush played his way to his first double double with 10 points and 11 boards

Clippers (16-32) L
Maggette has been averaging 29 points in the last 5 games, scoring just shy of that tonight with 26
Thornton gets a double double with 18 and 10 boards
The Clippers only scored 80 points, shooting 30-74, getting out rebounded by 11 and shown up in dimes by 9

76ers (21-30) W
Even night all around for the 76ers, no player scores over 20 points.  While only one player (Igoudala) logs over 35 min
Miller has a good line of 17 points and 9 assists
Williams scores 18 coming off the bench, shooting 5-6 and sinking all 6 free throws

Grizzlies (13-37) L
The Griz lose again, this sight is going to come quite often after the loss of Gasol.  But they will make a serious play for the top pick in the draft.
Miller has the biggest night with 26 points
Rookie Conley has a good line with 16 points, 4 assists, and 4 boards

Hornets (34-15) W
Paul only scores 2 points, and the Hornets still score 2 points.  It might help that he gave out 16 assists
West shows why he is an all-star with 33 and 10 rebounds
Stojakovic scores 26 points, sinking 6 from downtown

Knicks (15-36) W
New York pulls out a squeaker, 1 point victory.
Crawford scores 30, dishes out 5 and grabs 4 assists
Randolph records a double double with 12 points and 10 boards
Lee comes in strong off the bench with 17 and 9 boards

Bucks (19-32) L
Redd and Vilanueva both score 21, CV adds 13 off the glass to his credit
Bell scored 17 off the bench on 7-9 shooting

Hawks (21-26) L
The Hawks have an ugly night, only recording 10 points in the 2nd quarter.  As mentioned the starters all sucked.
The bright spots come off the bench with Pachulia scoring 11 and getting 9 rebounds
Childress scored 18

Rockets (30-20) W
If the playoffs started tomorrow, the Rockets would barely squeeze into the playoffs over G-State (29-20).  But with that record in the east they would have home court advantage in round one.
T-Mac finishes with 15 points, 8 assists, and 4 rebounds
Scola has 14 and 9 rebounds
Wells comes off the bench and gets 11 points, 6 assists, and 3 rebounds in only 16 min

Bulls (20-30) L
I was excited to test out all my new theories on the Bulls, but then I see that Gordon, Dend and Hinrich are all not in the line-up.
Sefolosha scores the team high with 22 points
Duhon has 11 points and 8 dimes
Smith and Nocioni both get 14 points and 4 boards

Jazz (33-19) W
Boozer and Williams both have typical nights
Boozer goes for 22 points and 12 boards
Williams has 15 points and 11 dimes
Korver and Price both score 10 from off the bench

Kings (23-25) L
The Kings get some pretty good numbers out of this night.
Bibby hits for 24 and 7 assists
Artest had 21 points, 13 boards, 2 assists, 3, steals and 2 blocks

That's it for this Saturday night
