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.The Hawks rode a sterling six-game win streak into Cleveland, hoping to add with a booster of confidence, provided (as expected) that the Hawks get a shot at the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference second round this spring. Cleveland denies your request of a confidence booster, thankyouverymuch, next in line please.
LeBron James went with 22 points, seven rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block. Mo Williams picked the 24 points, seven assists route instead. Flip Murray (22 points off the bench) called a band meeting, but only Joe Johnson (24 points) showed up.
Roy Kills: Brandon Roy is brandishing weapons, people. Stop, drop and roll. Roy sliced up solid defenders in Milwaukee for 30 points and seven assists while also contributing eight rebounds, two steals and a block. I'm telling you: he's a mini-Bron. He scares me.
The Shard-Q Shoot-Out: Two bloody rich gunners took center stage Saturday night in Orlando, as Rashard Lewis and Quentin Richardson pulled the trigger on a combined 38 shots. Q won in neon (33 points to 27) but Shard got the call in ink (Magic 110, Knickerbockers 103). You could argue Q and Shard had nothing to do with the result, loss or victory rather determined by whichever team including the name "Larry Hughes." (Zero points on four FGAs, three turnovers for the mysterious Hughes, by the way.)
