NBA notes – 12/02/2006

Many fun games on this night, but one of the more fun match-up should have been AI-V-Vinsanity with AI scoring 37 and Vince dropping 41 on 15-22 shooting. New Jersey won 112-107 to get on top of the horrible Atlantic division. Rookie Rodney Carney had 20 points for the Sixers. I always liked this guy playing for Memphis in college. Also, Eddie House made his first appearance of the season, but had a tough shooting night (1-8).

More rookie news. Rudy Gay dropped 20 for Memphis, but James Posey hit a 3 at the buzzer for a Heat win. By the way, Hakim Warrick is having a nice season for Memphis as well. Mehmet Okur hit a 3 to give the Jazz a 2 point win over the Sonics. Boozer is averaging 22-12 with 3 blocks on 57% shooting for the season. Almost MVP numbers. The Warriors lost another close one. The game against the Bucks was a high-scoring game until the Warriors stopped scoring with 8 minutes to go.

Carmelo scored 38 again. Another early-season MVP candidate in my opinion. It's amazing how much talent there is in the league right now. I agree with the clowns on ESPN who have been talking about the great talent in the NBA right now. The Clips lost to the Lakers and seem to be in a free fall. With every win, we have to face the possibility that the Lakers are for real! Sacramento lost to San Antonio to wrap up their tough Texas 2-step with 2 losses.

Cleveland got blown out by Houston (without McGrady for most of the game) to continue their up-and-down, kind of a disappointing season so far. Detroit is again on top of that division. The disparity between the 2 conferences is at ridiculous levels right now. Its been like this for 6 years with no end in sight.

Cleveland @ Houston - 63-81
LA Lakers @ LA Clippers - 97-88
Sacramneto @ San Antonito - 98-100
Milwaukee @ Golden State - 115-110

Interesting games on the board for tomorrow, the Dec 3-rd (Sunday)

Nothing spectacular on this NFL Sunday.

Oralndo @ LA Clippers - How does the best of the East fares against Western conference mediocrity?
