Nuggets 122 Thunder 120: And you thought Chauncey Billups was Mr. Big shot. Not on this team. Not in this league. Last night Carmelo Anthony hit the buzzer beater three. Hit the buzzer beater three for the winner winner chicken dinner. Melo now has a .524 career shooting percentage on potential game-tying or go-ahead field-goal attempts during the final ten seconds of either the fourth quarter or overtime. Or as the kids like to say, in the clutch. That’s the highest percentage for any NBA player in the clutch (minimum: 15 attempts) since Anthony’s rookie season.
Nets 93 Hawks 91: While we’re talking about clutch. Hey, the Nets won at home, waddya know about that? Waddya know about this? Waddya know about Vinsanity? Vince Carter hit the overtime buzzer-beater. The overtime buzzer-beater for the winner winner chicken dinner. Carter has now made six clutch game-winner winner chicken dinners for the Nets, but each of his previous five came on the road. If there are any Nets fans left, they sure got a special treat last night. A special treat.
Pistons 98 Kings 92: Sideshow Rod. Nobody puts baby in the corner. Not even the Answer. Rodney Stuckey scored a game-high 38 points in the Pistons’ victory over the Kings last night. Rodney Stuckey dropped forty on the Bulls last month. Before that, only one player had ever scored more than 36 points in a game as a starting guard alongside Allen Iverson even once. Once. You shouldn’t have shot me, Johnny. My grandmother shot me once…Once! That was Jerry Stackhouse. That was Jerry Stackhouse who had 39 points as Iverson’s mate in the Sixers‘ backcourt back in the day.
Peace out homies. Six two and Even!
