10/30 review

With 14 games on tonight it was impossible for me to keep an eye on all them but I did my best.

Miami Heat 110 Philadelphia 76ers 114

UHHHHHH what happened here? The 76ers went on a 19-0 run to start the game!  And dropped 33 points in the first quarter. D-Wade didn’t play tonight so Rodger Mason JR started… But the story here isn’t about the Heat it’s about the 76ers who are suppose to be tanking. First round pick Michael Carter-Williams went nuts he finished with 22 points, 7 rebound, 12 assist and 9 steals. Evan Turner added 26 points Spencer Hawes had 24 points. THIS IS THE TRUE BIG THREE!! This will be the 6ers best moment of the year but MCW showed he can play against the best.

Boston Celtics 87 Toronto Raptors 93

               Nothing really special happened here Jeff Green had a nice game for the C’s. The Raptors out rebounded the Celtics by 15 and that’s your difference in the game.

Washington Wizards 102 Detroit Pistons 113

               The new look Pistons took the court and came away with a win. All five starters scored in double figures Greg Monroe led all Piston scorers with 24 points. For the Wizards their leading scorer was Trevor Ariza he hit six threes and finish with 28 points. John Wall and Bradley Beal had a horrible shooting night they went for a combined 14 for 39.

Milwaukee Bucks 83 New York Knicks 90

               The Knicks were on fire early and went into the break leading 56-31. Brandon Knight left the game in first quarter with a hamstring injury he did not return. Once the second half started the Bucks got back into it. They tied the game at one point but the Knicks defense came alive late and was too much for the Bucks. Tyson Chandler had a great game he was finishing around the rim and was denying Bucks around the rim. Andrea Bargnani who was a -11 didn’t shoot well and heard some boos from the crowd. The Bucks benched outscored the Knicks benched 54 to 20 that allowed them to get back into the game.

Charlotte Bobcats 83 Houston Rockets 96

               Dwight Howard made his Rocket debut and grabbed 26 rebounds along with 17 points. Harden led all scorers with 21 points. Jeremy Lin and Francisco Garcia added 35 points combined off the bench. For the Bobcats Welp… they don’t have the offense to compete with the top teams in the league it also doesn’t help that you were out rebounded by 17!

 

Orlando Magic 115 Minnesota 120

                       WELP!! Jason Maxiell started again and guess what he was a -9. I started watching this game with about a minute left so let’s start from there. The first thing I noticed was that Victor Oladipo was on the floor. He hit two big free throws with 12.5secs left to put the Magic up 3. Then Kevin Love hit a game tying three with 10.1secs left it was the same play the Wolves ran a few years ago to beat the Clippers on a buzz beater. So the Magic call a timeout and draw up a play or at least I think they did because out of the timeout they ran an Aaron Afflalo isolation… Of course he missed which lead to overtime. In overtime the Magic had some guy named Soloman Jones on the floor… In Overtime the Wolves heated up especially Kevin Martin he hit two big shots which led the T-wolves to victory.

Indiana Pacers 95 New Orleans Pelicans 90

                       The Pelicans went into the half up 14 points. Eric Gordon, Jrue Holiday and Anthony Davis all finished with 20 or more points. They were up 9 late in the fourth but the Pacers started to hit their shots Paul George finished with 32 points and the Pacers finished with 12 blocks two straight games with blocks in double figures.

Atlanta Hawks 109 Dallas Mavericks 118                      

                       The Mavs shot 57 percent from the field! Monta Ellis scored 32 points and did it efficiently he only missed 6 shots. If Ellis plays smart he’s a good offensive player Dirk added 24 points. Jeff Teague scored 24 points for the Hawks but he was also a -24. All of the Hawks starters were negatives which is never good.

Memphis Grizzlies 94 San Antonio 101

                       The Highest scorer in this game had 15 points and it was by…TONY ALLEN! They guy who couldn’t hit a shot in the Western Conference Finals last year. The Spurs shot 52% from the field and 55% from three. If you do that there’s a great chance you win. Tim Duncan only played 17 minutes tonight Pop is already limiting his minutes.

OKC 101 Utah 98

                       We almost had another shocker here but the Thunder were about to pull it out Kevin Durant dropped 42 points. Durant didn’t shoot well but he made 22 free throws. The Jazz had one last chance to tie in the fourth but weren’t able to do it. Alec Burks led the Jazz with 24 points coming off the bench.

Portland Trail Blazers 91 Phoenix Suns 104

                       In the first half of this game it was all about Miles Plumlee he scored 16 first half points in his first ever NBA start. Four Suns starters scored 18 or more points. Portland couldn’t stop the suns which lead to them shooting 52%. For the Blazers Lillard and Aldridge scored a combined 60 points, but no one else was in double figures. Dragic  and Bledsoe both scored over 20 to guide the Suns to victory.

Denver Nuggets 88 Sacramento Kings 90

                       This was a close game throughout and came down to the final play. The Nuggets inbounded from under the King’s basket with 0.8 left and settled for a corner three which hit the side of the backboard… The Nuggets had a golden opportunity to tie it up after right before the inbound play but Ty Lawson missed a reverse lay-up. For the Kings Demarcus Cousins put in 30 points and added 14 rebounds. Late in the game he played great defense by blocking a Lawson lay-up and taking a charge. The Kings took the lead when Jason Thompson slammed home a put back that was missed by Cousins.

Los Angeles Lakers 94 Golden State Warriors 125

                       Well I guess the Xavier Henry Lakers aren’t for real. The Lakers couldn’t stop Klay Thompson who dropped 38 points on them. The Warriors starters were great tonight no one was below plus 15. When you’re hitting shots and the other team isn’t this is what happens.
