Nuggets 118 Kings 99: Some folks say, “It’s good to be the King.” Not folks in Sacramento. I know Red Auerbach always said, “Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up.” But c’mon guys we’re almost halfway through the season already.
You may say 118 points doesn’t seem all that high. I say that 118 was the lowest total the Kings have given up in their last four games. I say Sacramento has allowed 519 points in its last four games. I say that’s the second-highest total that any NBA team has allowed over any four-game span this season. (Warriors) I say it’s the most points that the Kings have allowed over any four-game stretch since the franchise moved from Kansas City to Sacramento in 1985.
Spurs 99 Pacers 81: Manu Ginobili is getting hot. Getting giddy in the zone. Ginobili started the season sidelined with an injury. He ain’t hurt no more. It took him a minute though. Manu had connected on only 33.8 percent of his three-point attempts until yesterday. Until yesterday against the Pacers. Yesterday against the Pacers, El Contusión made all four of his three-pointers. That’s the first time in El Contusión’s 463 regular-season NBA games that he has taken at least four shots from three-point range, and has made all of them! I guess he’s back. Like Steve Austin, better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.
Senators 3 Capitals 2: I wanted this story to be about Ovechkin. It wasn’t. His name is nowhere in the boxscore. Dany Heatley’s is. Remember him? Remember him back in the 2003 All Star game? How could you forget. MVP of said All Star game. Four goals in said All Star game. Tied the Great One, blessed be he, for the single-game All-Star record. Scored the winner winner chicken dinner in a shootout in that game. Yowza! What a night.
Had a pretty good game last night. A good last coupla nights. Scored the first two goals for the Senators in their 3-2 win over the Capitals. Scored twice in Ottawa’s last game too. It’s the first time that a Senators player has had consecutive multiple-goal games since Heatley had three straight two-goal games in December 2007. El Ocho who?
Peace out homies. Six two and Even!
