Jason Kidd posted 19 points, 17 assists and 16 rebounds in the Mavs’ impressive 111-103 overtime win in Atlanta. I’m not a huge Kidd fan, but I absolutely LOVE this play he made late in the fourth quarter…
It drives me nuts that coaches are always standing on the court and I think it’s great that Kidd took advantage of that to get his team an extra point, which eventually forced overtime.
I don’t know what Woodson is yelling about. He looks like a complete idiot. Get off the court!
It seems pretty simple when Chuck says it…
Ginobili still has some hops!
As the #1 overall pick in the 2005 draft, Andrew Bogut has had his share of ups and downs in his career. Lofty draft status means heightened expectations, and when the seven-foot Australian missed most of last season with a back injury, a friend of mine declared that he was a bust.
While my buddy was no doubt just trying to tweak me — I’m a longtime Bucks fan — he did have something of a point. Deron Williams and Chris Paul went #3 and #4 in the same draft, and they were both already playing at an All-Star level. To that point, Bogut’s best season was his third, where he averaged 14-10 with 1.7 blocks in 35 minutes of playing time. He certainly wasn’t a bust, though he hadn’t lived up to his lofty expectations, either.
But Bogut has undergone something of a transformation over the last 12 months. His fine play this season — 16-11 on 53% shooting, 2.3 blocks (2nd in the league) — can be attributed to a few factors. First, Michael Redd is now out for the season after trying to come back from knee surgery, so head coach Scott Skiles has asked Bogut to carry a bigger load offensively. He has developed a terrific left hand hook, which has made him one of the league’s few “go-to” post players.
The Celtics led 56-48 at haltfime, but were outscored 60-32 in the final two periods, resulting in a 20-point Cleveland win in Boston. LeBron James (36-7-9) had his usual stellar stat line, but it was Mo Williams who keyed the Cavs’ run in the second half, scoring 16 of his 19 points in the last two quarters.
Shaquille O’Neal left the game with an injured thumb and did not return. Anderson Varejao filled in admirably with 14 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks.
Cleveland has struggled of late, so even though Paul Pierce missed the game due to injury, this should be a big confidence builder for the Cavs.
