- Say goodbye to that 12-game win streak Utah Jazz.....the Hawks somehow beat the red-hot Jazz tonight even without Marvin Williams, and getting virtually nothing from Mike Bibby....Joe Johnson led the way with a big-time 31, but I can't even hate on Josh Smith's game tonight....22 and 12 in a huge spot, he didn't attempt a 3-pointer (a moral victory if there ever was one) and had 3 blocks...that's the kind of night I wanna see....
- My favorite NBA player....Mr. Chris Paul himself....threw up another triple-double tonight...and it wasn't your ho-hum 11/10/11 game either....how does 30 points, 10 boards, 13 dimes sound? Man-like to me....
- Antonio McDyess had 22 rebounds tonight.....raise your hand if that shocked you.....::raising hand::.....I left him for dead
- I meant to mention this yesterday....but I'd like to thank the national media for jumping on the "D-Wade for MVP" campaign that I've been chanting about for months....you're late fellas....
- Mike Singletary of Texas Tech broke the Big 12 tournament scoring record with 43 in the Red Raiders win over Texas A&M tonight....but that isn't even the lead story....at one point....The young man scored 29 straight points for his team....29 in a row....I need the Elias Sports Bureau on this....
What to watch for on a jam-packed Thursday....
- Big East Tourney: Providence vs. Louisville, ESPN Noon.....these are the type of games that make this week good TV....
- Big East Tourney: Marquette vs. Nova ESPN 2:30....can Marquette get right?
- Big East Tourney: West Virginia vs. Pittsburgh ESPN 7:00
- Big 10 Tourney: Michigan(!) vs. Iowa ESPN2 2:30....Win and its automatic to the tourney...lose and it's the bubble again...Go Blue
- Pac 10 Tourney: Arizona State vs. Arizona FSN 3:00....Rivalries in the conference tourney are awesome...
- Pac 10 Tourney: Cal vs. Southern Cal FSN 9:00
- Lakers @ Spurs 8:00 TNT....Geez the NBA is overlooked on these huge college weekends...but this one can't be ignored
- Cavs @ Suns 10:30 TNT....And this one isn't bad either if you like watching the best player alive against the rejuvenated (at least from a watching standpoint) Suns
Enjoy it folks...and I know I shamelessly plug Bill Simmons' columns....but if you have ever been at the end of your rope as a fan of a team (or you just love to read about NBA on-court dynamics, etc.)....his article on the Clippers today is a must-read....

I only kinda see Wade as an MVP candidate..he's only been putting up these ridiculous numbers as of late..and they are still only winning by under 10..and are still looking up at the Hawks as a 5 seed...eh..wait...29..points in a row?...wow
