How the Ball Balls Dropped: The Heatles on Tour

Heat (96), Bobcats (82)

On the Charlotte side of things, it doesn't help that they were without starters Mohammed and Wallace, and they just learned Diop would be out for the season. That left them with Kwame Brown as their only center (yikes). And I think this game proves that the coach isn't really the problem. Even with Silas supposedly letting them play faster, they still just shot 1 of 22 in the 3rd quarter. Onto the South Beach area, James and Wade were just crowned Co-Players of the Month (sorry Bosh fans), and Spoe was Coach of the Month. And LeBron just called his team the Heatles. He can call his team anything he wants as long as they keep winning like this. It's the first time he and D3 scored 30+ on the same game. So much for your-turn-my-turn, these boys have really learned to play well together.

Rockets (106), Nuggets (113)

A fine showing from the Melo-Man with his 8th 30+pt game of the season. Boy are the Denverians (Denverlings? Denverlites?) really gonna miss this.

Timberwolves (93), Celtics (96)

I think it's the time of the season that the Celtics have decided to chill for a bit. Much like last year when they reserved their energy for the playoffs. This game was only decided in the final seconds with a questionable travelling call on Luke Ridnour. Rondo's back to his usual self with 16 assists. 

Warriors (90), Magic (110)

Orlando has now won 6 in a row, and the Turkster just got his 3rd triple-double of his career. No one seems to be questioning those trades now, are they?

76ers (77), Hornets (84)

Willie Green scorched his former team exacting payback for trading him... Well, not really. The Hornets were just slightly better in this game. CP3 has really shown his dedication in getting his whole team involved.

Pistons (97), Jazz (102)

I told you this'd be boring. Nothing much here, except for McGrady being a rebound away from a triple-double. T-Mac really showin' his stuff recently. Hmmm... (a carefully placed "hmmmm" to put suspense and mystery in a totally non-interesting recap)
