Every night there are some stupendous, silly, stupid, or downright outlandish individual lines from around the lig. Doing Lines lets you know which one tops the list.Odd circumstances surround the Milwaukee point guard corps right now. On Thursday, the Bucks traded third-stringer Tyronn Lue to Orlando for two-guard Keith Bogans. Hours later, news broke that starter Luke Ridnour had a broken thumb, forcing him off the floor for a month. Too many serviceable PGs to only one in half-a-day.
But while the rest of the roster likes its wounds, Ramon Sessions -- the mysterious second-year, second-stringer -- has decided to take control. In an overtime loss to the Pistons, Sessions broke off 44 points (on ridiculous 80 percent True Shooting), 12 assists, five rebounds and four turnovers in 47 minutes. Sessions will be a restricted free agent this summer; this game alone boosted his salary a good amount.
The opposing point, a fellow sophomore with a substantially bigger rep -- Rodney Stuckey -- had six points on 1-10 shooting in 27 minutes. Oof.
Animal Style: Al Jefferson wasn't satisfied with a mere double-double -- he had to do it Animal Style! Thirty-six points, 22 rebounds, four assists, four steals, two blocks, two turnovers, 50%+ shooting. Killer line ... but a loss to Houston.
Notable: Al Thornton had six assists. And no, he didn't have to play 73 minutes to get them.

Ok.
"Every night there are some stupendous, silly, stupid, or downright outlandish individual lines." You managed to overlook a certainly outlandish 44/9/1/2/3 line from a widely unknown fellow named Nowinski or something like that. Lebron hat four 40-pts games this season, Kobe 2, Nowitzki 3. Where is the love?
