... of the collective 12. With that said, now we need to hope that Hughes doesn’t take this 40-point game to his head and starts launching 20-footers against the Spurs tomorrow. And it isn’t surprising that HeyLarryHughes… is looking to sell high . They make quite the sales pitch! It is also worth mentioning that Drew Gooden, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Damon Jones all played in last night’s contest. The fact that they didn’t exactly light up the box score is secondary to the fact that they were able to suit up. Could this break be any more timely? Shifting gears, lets hope that ...

... Like "shooting 38% and not playing any defense." Judging by Larry Hughes' performance last night, their plane should screw up more often. You know what I love? Optimisim. And patience. Christ, somebody actually told Odom what he's been doing wrong for...seven years. They have so much potential. And they're the 4th best team in the West. The Pistons like to go ahead and wrap things up early. Buy Low! Sell High! T-Mac's a b*tch. That pretty much sums it up. (Note: We're alarmed ...

... (25 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists) was the only one of our guys to play well tonight. Jameer Nelson scored 22 on 7-of-14 shooting, and got to the foul line 10 times, but he also committed 5 turnovers. In light of last night's defeat, I'm considering changing this site's URL to www.heyorlandomagicpleasestoplettingcrappyplayerslikelarryhughestakesomanyeasyshots.com. Speaking of funny URLs, the guys at Hey, Larry Hughes! Please Stop Taking So Many Bad Shots! have written an open letter to Rod Thorn of the New Jersey Nets, imploring him to trade Jason Kidd to ...

The Big Lead —
... Cleveland 118, Orlando 111: Larry Hughes farted in the general direction of the website that disparages him nightly (and rightly so!), and went for 40. Obviously, now nobody wants to trade the chucker for Jason Kidd. ...

... Spurs to a 93-88 win. Last night's telecast pointed out that this was the third wing player that has gone off against the Raptors in the past five games. Are Jamario, AP and Delfino in a defensive slump, or are Kobe, Maggette and Manu in that good a groove? • Toronto's next game is at home against Jason Kidd and the New Jersey Nets. Is Kidd tired of Vince Carter's act, as Dave D'Alessandro said (via True Hoop )? Welcome to the club, Jason. • A Cavaliers fan tries to fob off Larry Hughes in exchange for Kidd : "If you watched the Cavs-Magic game tonight, you ...

... deal? They would get 2 expiring contracts good for almost $18 million dollars, and they would get rid of Redd, who for some reason seems to have fallen out of favor in cheeseland. They could exchange Varejao for Smith if they wanted and I’d be fine with that. You know what? I’d give them Gibson (sign and trade), Szczerbiak and Varejao for these two. Sigh. Pretty sure that means it won’t happen. Trade #2- Trying to get Steve Nash Ok, this one is really out there. But it worked for HeyLarryHughesPleaseStopTakingSoManyBadShots so maybe it will work here. Steve Nash is finished. ...
