At this point, somebody might have to talk to LeBron James . We rightfully gave Scott Stapp a bit of stick for his messianic nonsense, so ... This game was several inches away from being a real

Mavs Moneyball —
The Mavs have been inconsistent all season, and I knew eventually trends would start to emerge. One finally is, this team doesn't play defense -- not can't, don't.
"It's just embarrassing," Dirk Nowitzki said. "It was no defense at all. They got whatever they wanted - wide-open shots, drives, layups."
Kelly Dwyer confirms what Mavs fans saw.
But Dallas, it was weird; they just stopped playing basketball in the second quarter. Just stopped playing defense. Didn't want to be there, ...

... LeBron is the best player in the NBA, without a doubt. That isn't news to you. Outside of James, this Cleveland team isn't filled with a star-studded roster. When he can get just one teammate to come along with him, and have a great night, they're going to win on most occasions. Obviously, it was Williams on this night, who was spectacular. You expect it from LeBron, and when his teammates are knocking down shots, forget about it. That's why he ended with 14 assists. Ball Don't Lie, Behind the boxscore: This game was several inches away from being a real knockout. Four or five ...

... But perhaps the thing that separates the Celtics from the rest of the pack is their intensity each and every game. Kelly Dwyer of Ball Don’t Lie wrote in his daily Behind the Box Score column that the Suns played hard against the Knicks last night. While I don’t disagree, here is a difference between playing hard and playing with intensity. And the Suns certainly weren’t intense last night. ...

This week's most unforeseen stat line
The Fantasy Factor —
... Wednesday went to the Lakers' Andrew Bynum, and rightfully so. Bynum went off for 42 points (on over 70 percent shooting), 15 boards, and three blocks. He is my age, 21 years old. On Wednesday I think I watched tv, played video games, and ate Ramen Noodles. We're pretty similar, I'd say.
But for fantasy purposes, perhaps the performance of Bynum's opponent Wednesday, Clippers center DeAndre Jordan, who is actually younger than Bynum, was even more impressive.
From Ball Don't Lie:
The Clippers were up for this game. Steve Novak (14 points) got ...
