Vinsanity in Charlotte - NBA notes - 03/24/2007

Vinsanity bailed out the Nets today with a spectacular play. With the Nets trailing by 2, Kidd took a jumper which was well short of the rim, but Vince caught the air-ball and slammed it home for an alley-oop dunk that tied the game. He also dominated the OT period to win the game for the Nets who stayed in the 7-Th spot in the L-East. All in all, Vince had 40 points today.

Clippers won again today against the Wizards. Clippers are on a mini-roll right now. Jason Hart's buzzer-beater at Milwaukee seems to have given them a bolt of new-found energy. After crushing the Jazz yesterday, they beat Agent-0 and the Wizards today to stay a game in front of the Warriors. Maggette had 29 points to offset the Agent's 30. Maggette has been carrying them lately as he had 29 points on 15 made free throws. Brand had 18-14 and the Clippers are surviving pretty well without either of their point guards - Livingston or Cassell. Jason Hart has stepped in and helped them out pretty well. As for the Wizards, this Western roadie has been a painful experience without Caron Butler. They seem to need all 3 (Gil, Tawn and Caron) to do what they do best. Wizards just shot 5/23 from 3. Wizards have no problems jacking up threes, but today they didn't fall. They are barely clinging on to the lead in the Southeast as Miami had their second straight bad loss - at home to the 76'ers.

There's still no definitive news on Wade's return. The Jazz got back on track with a 118-108 victory over Memphis. Deron had 21 and 13 dimes. Who is the better PG now - Chris Paul or Deron Williams? I think it's pretty close right now though Chris Paul looked like the clear-cut winner last year.

Washington @ LA Clippers - 105-111

Interesting games on the board for Mar 25-Th (Sunday)

Denver @ Cleveland - Melo-V-LeBron with AI in the mix.

Golden State @ LA Lakers - The Warriors are fighting for the 8-Th spot and the Lakers are just riding Kobe to wherever he takes them.
