How the Ball Balls Dropped: RAJONDO!

Stop!... Now Rondo Time.  
And might I just share a random useless trivia, that this guy has the same birthday with yours truly. (along with Drew Barrymore and George Washington). If you know me personally, you're probably already sick of that line. To those random readers out there, get used to it. I'll mention this a lot.

Spurs (103), Celtics(105)
22 assists. 22! Twenty-frickin-two. That's actually the date of our common birthday. (I should stop with the birthday thing. It's starting to sound gay (not that there's anything wrong with it (but just to make it clear, I'm not (whoah. A parenthesis, within a parenthesis, within a parenthesis)))). The Celtics were up 9 with about 55 seconds to go. Game over? I think Tyreke Evans already taught us a valuable lesson about saying a game is over. A Ginobili three and 2 quick steals got the Spurs back within 2, and Ray Ray missed two freethrows (must be a blue moon out there tonight). Ginobili had a last chance to win the game, but he got his shot blocked when he mistakenly drove right instead of an open lane left. RAJONDO!

Hawks (110), Jazz (87)
This game wasn't really that interesting to be mentioned second here, but since I started the whole combining first and last names thing, I just thought of another one... "GAYWARD" The Jazz, missing Millsap, fell flat on their home turf, losing to the heating up Hawks. And I dunno if anyone has noticed, but I therefore conclude that Joe Jo and J-Crow are basketball BFF's. If one has an ugly game the other has too. And if one goes off, the other one follows suit (been a pretty gay post so far (again, not that th.. oh, you know the drill)).

Lakers (99), Suns (95)
The Lakers won! Hooray! No? Well, they really shouldn't celebrate. This one wasn't clinched until an Artest three with about a minute-thirty remaining. And since Gasol doesn't have the Apple excuse anymore, is he hurt? He was the league MVP during the first quarter of the season. I wonder what happened. 

Nuggets (93), Clippers (106)
Blakey Griff Griff is the man to watch these days, but he wasn't the only notable Clipper in this one. Eric Gordon's 28pts and DeAndre Jordan's 20rbds and 6blks(!) did the trick for the other LA team, getting it's 11th win of the season. And Blake's reportedly, officially, in the Dunk contest. He still doesn't have a nickname though. I got a few suggestions from yahoo sports, but "MANster" and "The Mulatto Marauder" are, well, let's just say we can do better.

Trailblazers (103), Rockets (100)
Rip City got another win over Space City (got that one from mah' man Patricky Rubio). A spoiled Kevin Martin performance in this one (45pts). Nothing much to say really. Unless you wanna hear about how injured these teams are again (which I know you do. So, Brooks and Yao out for the Rox, and Oden and Roy out for Portland).

Warriors (110), Hornets (103)
The Hornets were up 10 at the end of the 3rd quarter. But then, they let CP3 take a rest. And so did the Hornets offense. Golden State capitalized to make a run and established a 10 pt lead of their own, which they protected 'til the end of the game. Really amazing to see how Monta went from a moped ridin', volume shootin, streaky guard, to a much more matured and efficient streaky guard.

Wizards (97), 76ers (109)
Turner finally got one, winning Turner-Wall III (well, not really. He put up 2-4-1 compared to Wall's 18-1-14). I think these Wizards are a bit distracted nowadays (not that they're much of a contender when they're focused), with McGee getting the nod in the Dunk Contest after his bonehead trials in showing off, and Blatche concerned about the trade rumors.

Bobcats (108), Timberwolves (105) OT
The two-man show of Minnesota remains, well, a two-man show. Love and Beasley did their thing, but didn't get much help, as the wolves lost to a Bobcats team missing both Wallace and Jackson, and with Thomas playing with an ailing knee. According to Kahn standards though, there's a silver lining for the Timberwolves as Anthony Toliver will return to action in their next game. Oh rejoice!

Raptors (120), Cavaliers (105)
Bargs' Raps (nice) decimated (got that one from John Cena) the sliding Cavs. The Cavs have now lost 17 of their last 18. Always Chilly in Ohio these days.

Bulls (94), Nets (96)
The Nets got a visit from lady luck today. With the game tied in the dying seconds, Harris threw what was supposed to be a lob, that came up a bit too short as the ball bounced at the front of the rim. Good thing the Machine was there to save the day. Kris Humphries got demoted to the bench today, but he celebrated with a 20-11 outing. The Kardashian Effect in full display. Lucky bastard.

Bucks (87), Magic (97)
Seven straight wins for the Magic, but Ron Jeremy's boys are starting to get cocky (pun not intended. If you didn't get the pun, well, good for you) They're kinda like the Heat-lite now. Things are clickin' but better make sure they click 'til April.
