AI had 34 today with 17 of it coming in the fourth. Big win for the rich-and-creamy Nuggets as they beat the Clip-joint in a close one, Brand's 22-13 notwithstanding. A win for the Clippers could have put them ahead of the Warriors by 2 and also got them closer to the Nuggets and the Lakers. Now they probably stay at 8 at best. The Warriors are still one back with a loss against the Spurs. W's played well, but there's no way the W's beat Timmy and the gang at San Antonio. Timmy had 28-15 and Manu had 25. The Warriors had a lot of success fronting and ball-denying Yao and Pau Gasol in this road trip, but it's amazing how easily Duncan and the Spurs busted that game plan. The "big fundamental" is just too good and the Spurs are too smart to let a bunch of 6-7 guys derail what they do for a living.
Eddie Curry had some game today. He scored 43 points on 17/20 shots and had 13 boards as the Knicks had to play without Starbury. Nate Robinson started in his place and had a monster game. He had 34-4-7 and the Knicks won at Milawaukee. Seattle shocked Utah in Salt Lake as RA-LU - Rashard Lewis had 35 points. Utah is too up and down these days going in to the playoffs. Vince Carter and Jason Kidd became the first teammates with triple-doubles in the same game since Jordan and Pippen in 1989, leading the New Jersey Nets to a 120-114 overtime victory over the injury-ravaged Washington Wizards. Carter had 46-16-10 and Kidd had 10-16-18. 16 rebounds each! Those are just awesome numbers for 2 starting guards. You got to wonder why Vinsanity doesn't do it every day. Jamison had 37-11 himself in the loss. Jarvis Hayes had 29, but Jamison is going to have a tough couple of weeks now. May be he can get some love if he has a couple of good days in the playoffs.
Denver @ LA Clippers - 96-93
Interesting games on the board for Apr 8-Th (Sunday)
Cleveland @ Detroit - They play again.
Phoenix @ LA Lakers - Should be a good one. Lets see what Kobe does in this one.
Chicago @ Toronto - Toronto is the new force in the L-East. Chicago is ahead of them right now.
