Wednesday Feb 27/ 08

Winners: Losers:
Atlanta (23-32) 123 Sacramento (26-31) 117
Chicago (23-34) 113 Indiana (22-36) 107
Philadelphia (26-32) 101 Orlando (37-23) 89
Toronto (32-24) 107 Minnesota (12-44) 85
Boston (44-12) 92 Cleveland (32-26) 87
New York (18-39) 113 Charlotte (19-38) 89
New Orleans (38-18) 120 Phoenix (39-19) 103
Utah (37-21) 103 Detriot (42-16) 95
Denver (34-23) 138 Seattle (15-42) 96
Portland (30-28) 82 LA Clippers (19-36) 80

The Expected: Chris Paul. Always be excited whenever he faces an elite PG in this league. Facing off against Steve Nash he had 25 points, 15 dimes, 6 boards and 3 steals. I can't wait until he gets into the playoffs and faces Kidd, Nash, Williams, Parker or Davis.
The Surprising: Childress comes off the bench and doubles his ppg average of 12.4, dropping 25 points in 30 min.
The Disappointing: With Cassell out of the line up Brevin Knight fills in for 0 points in 22 min. The Clippers only score 80 on this night.

odds and ends:
Two teams finished with 3 players getting 22+ points. The Hawks (Johnson 26, Childress 25, Bibby 24) and The Hornets (West 27, Paul 25, Pargo 22)

The Nuggets had an impressive line of 5 players scoring 15+, and 7 having 12+
(Iverson 31, Martin 23, Anthony 16, Kleiza 15, Smith 15, Carter 12, Camby 12)
And I always love Camby's lines. 12 points, 14 boards 5 blocks, 4 assists, 2 steals. Love it.

Too bad for the Sonics, nobody ever lets up, shown by Kobe getting kicked out in a game the Lakers were up by 30. Then the Nuggets just kept going in this game scoring 31 in the 1st, 33 in the 2nd, 36 in the 3rd and 38 in the 4th. In the west, it is kill or be killed. By the looks of in the Soncis are on the menu every night

The Suns lose by 17 to the Hornets. I think the Suns will sputter until the playoffs. It will take a lot of adjusting to see how Shaw fits in the line-up. But come playoffs, watch out. I think that Nash could score 25 every night if he wanted. He only went for 8 in this loss. But at least handed out 13 dimes

Highs of the night:
Points: Maggette - 32. 8-21 FG, 1-5 3point, 15-18 Ft
Assists: Paul - 15
Rebounds: Howard - 16. 6 offsensive boards, 10 on the defensive.
