The King on Fire - NBA notes - 03/03/2007

LeBron's amazing run continued as he had 36-5-6 on 10-20 shooting against the Raptors. Bargnani missed this game since he was visiting his grand-father who is ill in Italy. Bosh had 25 points, but didn't shoot particularly well. King James raised his average to 33.6 points in his past seven games. He is on a tear right now like he was last season. He has not been as good this season as he was last year and may be he is getting there in time for the playoffs. The Spurs had no problems against the Rockets today. Timmy had 26 points and the Spurs held T-Mac to 21 points to throttle the Rockets offense.

The Magic gave the Mavs a surprisingly close game, but as usual the Mavs closed the door on them late. I think it's now getting to a point where the Mavs are bored playing everyday against inferior competition and they just turn it up in the 4-th after sleep walking most of the night. Today it was Jason Terry's turn to impress. He shot 6-11 from beyond the arc and scored 29 point to help the Mavs win 103-98. Starbury had 38 points and Steve Francis had 26 points for the Knicks as they are learning to play without Jamal Crawford. Jamal seemed to be Isiah's favorite offensive weapon. The ball always went to Jamal or Eddie Curry and now that Jamal is hurt, it's more shots for Marbury, Q and Francis and they should be enjoying it.

Toronto @ Cleveland - 97-120
San Antonio @ Houston - 97-74

Interesting games on the board for Mar 4-th (Sunday)

LA Lakers @ Phoenix - First real meeting after last year's playoffs. They played on opening night, but without Kobe.
