Line of the Night: Iverson's (5.08) half of the abbreviated year of Independence was not enough to top C-But's (aka Caron Butler) line last night (5.40). Butler's 57% on less attempts put him just below Iverson's 56% (more attempts), but Caroming Caron's 4 steals was where he made up ground like Obama in Iowa. Both had 3 three pointers. LeBron's 39 points (4.76) came on 48% (yet more attempts), and he gathered 11 rebounds while equaling AI in assists at 8. No Steals and No Blocks hurt Bron Bron's attempt-at-a-triple-double fantasy score, dropping him to 3rd in the polls.
Honorable Mentions: Mike Miller came through in 4th place (4.68) mostly due to his 12-13 from the line. Since Marcus Camby was 6th on the night (7 blocks), let's celebrate two Nuggets in the top 10 with the startling and profound realization that Denver has not only a Dance Team, but a Cheer Team.
I expect Dance Teamer Nicole Hurdle to make a strong run for All-Star Dance Team member. Observe.
