a look around the nba... feb 05 07
the phoenix suns continued their demolision of the nba with an impressive victory over the nuggets in denver. this despite losing steve nash to injury in the second half and carmelo anthony's first triple double. george karl said they looked like the same team with or without nash, with barbosa filling in ably. scary thought. i still believe that the nuggets will come together down the stretch to fight off minnesota, golden state and the clips, but right now they can't buy a break.
speaking of minnesota, the wolves get drubbed by houston and just look terrible since the firing of casey. this club has NO clue what is going on; but when you sacrifice your franchise's entire future on the hope of signing joe smith, you have obviously sold your soul to satan. so kevin mchale has that going for him, which is nice...
chicago and utah, two of the hardest nosed teams in the league, beat the crap out of each other for four quarters before the jazz made a couple of plays. yay. i know both of these teams are good and rugged and no one would want to see them in the playoffs, but i still find it hard to care about either club. boring...
stephen jackson was booed all night long and obviously loved being the anti-hero, dropping 36 points on the pacers. jackson and al harrington had strong games against their former club, as dunleavy and murphy struggled badly for the pacers. maybe they are really, really afraid of don nelson, but they both seem spooked.
stars of the day: amare stoudemire, andre iguodala, stephen jackson
