The Suns won again for their 16-straight, but it was ugly by their standards. They scored just 98 points and didn't put the Bucks away until late. Nash had a great game with 18-6-16. He is just pouring in the assists lately. Raja hit 7 of 11 3-pointers and had 27 points. But the most impressive stat of the day for the Suns might be Marion's 23 boards! This is the second time in less than a week he has had 20+ rebounds. Things are good in the Suns-land right now, but Nash feels it could be a lot better.
AI and Melo both had great numbers, but they lost to Utah on the road. Boozer was just too much for them with 25-19. I think Denver has a lot of Suns in them in the sense that they score so much that they can keep multiple players happy. There might be just enough points and shots for both Melo and AI. Like today, AI had 33 and Melo 37. And they still had enough room for Camby to get 21! Numbers are good for now, but the Nuggets lost a big one today.
Washington went into Detroit and put them in their place. Jamison had 35 points and Agent-0 had 25 and 10 assists. Washington is probably a better team than Detroit this season and they showed it tonight. In New York, Jamal Crawford pumped in 52 points to beat Heat and Wade's 37. He actually hit 16 of his shots in a row without missing one. That included a whole bunch of threes against pretty decent D. Amazing game for JC. Shaq Daddy had 11 points in this one on 4-6 shooting. Cleveland went into Phily and beat them without Lebron.
In LA, the Lakers welcomed Lamar Odom back but unfortunately, they were even more welcoming of the Charlotte Bobcats! The Lakers lost to them in OT. These 2 teams are the perfect match for each other. The Bobcats always play up to the level of their competition and the Lakers play down to theirs. Even Tex Winters was complaining on the Jim Rome show last week about the Lakers tendency to do that. The Bobcats have few wins this season, but a lot of those are big wins and they just swept the Lakers, needing OTs on both occasion.
Washington @ Detroit - 99-96
Phoenix @ Milwaukee - 98-90
Denver @ Utah - 111-116
Interesting games on the board for the Jan 27-th (Saturday)
Miami @ Chicago - These teams met in the playoffs last year. Chicago might want this game big game.
New Jersey @ Denver - I don't care what happens in this game. I just hope God doesn't subject the Nets to another buzzer beating, one point loss.
