NBA January 31st. 2009, 12:35pm
Boston 86, Detroit 78: All-Star snub Ray Allen scored 14 points on 4 of 14 shooting. Actual All-Stars, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett scored 20 and 22 points respectively. Antonio McDyess scored 3 points in 38 minutes.
Indiana 114, Miami 103: Yakhouba Diawara may have had the least impressive game in NBA history. In 25 minutes, he scored 3 points, grabbed 0 rebounds, handed out 0 assists, and went 1-5 from the field. Did I mention 4 of his shots were from deep? He did block a shot, but I’ll need to see the video before I believe it wasn’t an errant alley-oop that he didn’t get out of the way of in time. But dammit if he doesn’t look sharp. Mike Dunleavy scored 30 for the Pacers.
Milwaukee 96, Toronto 85: Charlie Villanueva (French for “new house”) scored 26 points and pulled down 13 boards. I bet no one watched this game while wearing shorts.
Cleveland 112, LAClippers 95: LeBron scored 25 and Big Z had 20 and 11. Not that it matters. He’s leaving in 2010. We don’t know where Ilgauskas is going, but he’ll be better off somewhere besides Cleveland.
Atlanta 105, New Jersey 88: Flip Murray sighting! 23 off the bench on 9-22 shooting.
LAkers 132, Minnesota 119: Snub or not, Al Jefferson is a stud. Big Al had 34 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks in the loss. Kobe scored 30 and Andrew Bynum went for 27 and 15.
Denver 110, Charlotte 99: Nene went for 22 and 12 in the win.
Utah 110, OKC 90: All Jazz starters scored 15 or more int he victory. KD had 29 and 10 in the loss.
Golden State 91, New Orleans 87: CP3 scored 31, but the more blanced attack of the Warriors held on for the win. I don’t know how many other ways I can tell you what happened based on box scores.
Chicago 109, Sacramento 88: Derek Rose had 11 assists. I’m sure they were all as spectacular as his 4 turnovers.
Philadelphia 104, Washington 94: Andre Igoudala and Willie Green each scored 20. Antawn Jamison had 25 and 15 in the loss.

That’s the fifth Hornets game I’ve watched this year. This team other than CP3 is complete garbage. West is a pussy, three of his shots was blocked by future HOF’er Turiaf. If Peja is off, they lose no matter what Paul does. No one gets back on D, even when Chandler is healty. Either Byron Scott needs to be replaced by someone who runs offensive plays and knows transistion D, or this team will not make it past the second round, ever again.
