The odd part about this is both game the Wiz shot like 38%. The first game they definitely won on the boards. I didn't watch this game but from the box rebounds were about even.

I guess Rondo is their MVP. He's been out or limited these past 3 games.

Looks like little Kmart is back in Sactown.. He scored 25 points in his first game back on Saturday night and then 39 tonight in a razzle dazzle 122-120 victory over the Mavs tonight.

Not to be out done, Kobe puts up 48 in the Lakers 2 point victory over Seattle as the lakers escape with a close win two nights in a row. Those 48 points were on 44 field goal attempts. Expect a lot of games like this while Bynum recovers...

How would you like it if the Wizards come out 8th seed in the ECF when the season ends, i.e if the Celts come out 1st in the ECF.

I'm afraid, zebras do not let such possible upset a la GSW-DAL happen, too much is for NBA marketing at stake...

Things are getting even worse for the Bulls. They got blown out by ORL, and Ben was laughing on the bench. Apparently, Noah got pissed about the attitude, and they had to be separated in the locker room.

Struggles — and apparently strife— continue for Bulls on ChicagoSports.com

Looks like paxson may have to coach that team and then fire himself. it obvious Ben is still having second thoughts, but if he is laughing it because he laughing all the way to the bank about the money he was paid for little effort. In fairness to he and Noah, neither are used to losing, let alone getting embarrased, but they are stuck there.

It's funny how things turn out. Many were saying that Chicago will be better with Ben and Detroit will slide without him. Well, who's laughing now?

After all this time we still have to tolerate these mean spirited attacks on Big Ben simply because he chose to go to another team. Some may be laughing, but I'm glad I'm lucky enough to appreciate his Piston days and LET GO.

@Mikhail - I think Chi was better with Ben, it was just short lived, as some of us suspected. Ben's played a very physically demanding game for a long time. Eventually that will catch up to you, no matter who you are.

@Kimmie - I miss you.

I'm not sure I wouldn't consider this a good thing. At least there is some fire there and not just a casual acceptance of losing. You often hear stories of teams that come to blows and then turn things around. Good coaches find ways to bring this out and then to channel it.

Not sure the Bulls have one of those though.
