The Ginobli show is coming back to your nearest NBA city and boy are the Spurs happy to see it! He torched the Kings for 31-5-3 today coming off the bench and he has been doing that a lot lately. This is the Ginobli they had 2 years back when they won the championship. If you remember, he became the goto-guy and Timmy was reduced to setting screens for him in the last 2 minutes of the game. Then last year, Manu got injured and never got into a groove. Still the Spurs were one play away from a trip to the finals and a possible championship. Ironically, it was Ginobli who committed a stupid foul on Nowitzki at the end of game 7 to screw things up for the Spurs. This year started like last for Ginobli, but he seems to be on a roll lately. Thats very good news for the Spurs and bad news for the Mavs and the Suns. Timmy had 16-13 and the Spurs beat the Kings for their 11-th straight.
The Bulls got back on track against the lowly Magic. D-Howard had 17-14 with 2 blocks, but nothing else is happening for the Magic these days. I am happy Grant Hill is playing, but he is not doing anything noteworthy. He started the season a lot better than this. The Magic are now barely holding onto the 8-th spot in the L-East. For the Bulls, it was the usual Ben Gordon-Kirk Hinrich show with a helping of Luol Deng. Benny had 25.
In other news, a dude is suing the Pacers and their Mascot for permanently injuring him. Nathaniel Jackson, who lives in northern Indiana's Adams County, alleges in his lawsuit that as he entered Conseco Fieldhouse for a March 11, 2005 game against Golden State he was asked to take part in a free-throw shooting contest during a time out. Jackson, who is in his mid-20s, initially declined, saying he was recovering from back surgery but was assured that "there would be no reason for concern or injury," according to the lawsuit, which was filed March 2 in Marion Superior Court. After taking part in the free-throw contest, the lawsuit states that Jackson began to leave the basketball court but was tackled from behind by the team's mascot, "Boomer," a 6-foot-tall blue cat with gold whiskers. The employee who knew about Jackson's back surgery immediately told the mascot about the surgery, and Boomer responded by kicking at Jackson's legs, the lawsuit alleges.
This may be a rare, legitimate suit of this kind, but who knows.
San Antonio @ Sacramento - 100-93
Chicago @ Orlando - 100-76
