Player of the D.A.Y.

What took this guy so long?

By Sam Rubenstein

Great game J.R. Smith. Too bad. Keep it up though. When I mentioned earlier that J.R. could finally be the three point shooter the Nuggets have needed for years, I didn’t realize he led the league in threes made per game. Surprising.

Anyways, Kobe scored 40 against the team that is supposed to own his city (when USC isn’t playing), and even though he was on pace for an 80 point night, he slowed down and got his teammates involved. Then he took over down the stretch. Hard to ask anyone to do more than that.

Kobe Bryant, he might not have any MVP or Finals MVP trophies, but he’s got this one now. He joins his teammates Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum as the third Laker to win the award.

Did anyone see Monster Mash and Allan Houston on ESPN NBA Fastbreak last night? Two words: STIFF and UNCOMFORTABLE.

ahhh. J.R. Smith. who’d thought he’d be leading the league in 3 points made per game? i guess even though that ain’t his game, it’s even more far fetch than any other Nuggs. dre? boykins? camby???

I saw Mashburn talking on Fastbreak flipping channels and i am still in question to why they brought him to philly in the first place.

Might as well rename every message board the ‘Betcats board’..
Kobe seems to have matured a lot this season. Or maybe his knee is just hurting him too much to take over for 48 minutes.
