March Madness from Sheed - NBA notes - 03/26/2007

The NCAA tournament this season has not had too many buzzer-beating crazy plays. So Sheed decided to compensate for it in the NBA against the Nuggets. The Nuggets were leading by 3, with the ball, and with less than 2 seconds to go. But they couldn't inbound the ball and the Pistons stole the ball. It ended up in Sheed's hands way back in the back-court. He heaves a 60 footer to beat the buzzer and the shot goes in off the glass! A crushing blow to the Nuggets. The game goes to overtime and Denver has no chance in OT. Big-shot-Billups had 34-5-10 in this game. Bad loss for the Nuggets.

Carlos Boozer poured in 41-16 today to beat the Wizard. This guy is a handful when healthy. He hit 15/21 shots to prolong the difficult Western roadie for the Wiz. Luol Deng had 38 points for the Bulls against the Jail-Blazers. Orlando won at New York to stay afloat. New York is struggling again after a good mini-stretch. Starbury was carrying them for a bit, then had a couple of bad games, and was back again today with 32 points, but was not enough. In Phoenix, the Suns beat Memphis behind 27 from Amare and 29 from Raja Bell. Shaq-Daddy had a double double with 22-11 as the Heat beat the Hawks. The Spurs beat the Warriors by 37 a day after beating the Sonics by 41! Timmy and his boys are rolling right now. Duncan looks good and the team seems to be firing on all cylinders. The Spurs are going to be a tough out for both the Suns and/or the Mavs in the playoffs.

Denver @ Detroit - 109-113
Orlando @ New York - 94-89

Interesting games on the board for Mar 27-Th (Tuesday)

Memphis @ LA Lakers - Kobe had 60 the last time these two teams met.

Cleveland @ Indiana - Cavs needs a bounce back game after what happened against Melo and the Nuggets on national TV.
