All purpose NBA thread 07/08

Another win for Boston, 91-69 over the Nets. Now 7-0.

Rondo and Perkins, the other two starters on the C's, are playing very good basketball right now, especially defensively.

 

I know it's early, but Dwight Howard is having a fantastic year: 24 ppg, 15 rpg, 1.7 apg and 2.8 blocks per.

Also, Indiana's magic number is 39 ... nice win for them last night against the Mav.

 

Howard is going to be a very good player for a very long time; the last great player right out of high school.

Also, Marcus Camby just pulled down at least 18 rebounds for the fourth straight game (20, 20, 18, 18) and the sixth time this season last night. If that guy stays healthy, the Nuggets will go a long way.

 

Suck it, Boston!!

 

Just remember, we are all witnesses

Celtics 77, Knicks 37


I wonder what the JV score was?

 

Indiana 8-8. Magic number is 37 ...

 

BTW, which is the worst division, because there are some bad ones:

It has to be the Northwest. They have the 2nd worst division leader and the two worst teams in the NBA (in terms of overall record) though the Southeast and the Atlantic aren't too good either.

 

Indiana 9-9. Magic number is 36 ...

 

Check out the Nuggets' box score. Three things jumped out at me. ...

Not only did Iverson have 51 points -- in a loss, no less -- but Camby pulled down 20 rebounds. And that's not even that out of the ordinary anymore. But he didn't have any points and only three shots. That's understandable when Iverson and Anthony combine for 50 of the 80 team shots, but still, zero points and 20 rebounds looks odd.

Does anyone know the record for most rebounds with no points?

Interesting. Kidd apparently decided to call in sick...when he wasn't.
