January Recap | Part One

1 Feb AP - This is the first part of a special feature NBA monthly recap. These articles will be posted at the conclusion of every NBA month starting with the top games of the month as listed below.

10. Jan 1, Philadelphia 76ers at Los Angeles Clippers

Without Webber once again, Allen Iverson and the Sixers endured one of the weirdest meltdowns this season. At the end of the third period, everything seemed to be smooth sailing for the Sixers as they led 67-66. However, for some strange reason, the Sixers didn’t make a basket till there were 2 minutes left in the game.

“It was like everything gone still for us (Philadelphia) and the Clippers just absolutely thrashed us in the final quarter,” Jamaal Mashburn who scored 21 points said. Allen Iverson led the Sixers with 13, 10, 10 and 5 but Iguodala shot just 1 from 15 from the field.

9. Jan 15, Washington Wizards at Los Angeles Lakers

Gilbert Arenas led the Wizards with 35 points and 11 assists. Kobe Bryant was one step ahead most of the night to finish the game with 47 points and 14 assists. The Wizards had kept the game close for the majority of the first half before the new look Lakers dominated on defence to put themselves ahead for the last quarter.

Lamar Odom and Kwame Brown were the catalysts for success in the third quarter before Bryant took over down the stretch to secure the win for the home side. Brown who was playing his old team had the highlight of the night when he went coast to coast and dunked the ball. “I didn’t know he was capable of that,” A stunned Phil Jackson said.

- - -

8. Jan 9, Charlotte Bobcats at Portland Trailblazers

Zach Randolph dominated in the low post for the Portland Trailblazers as he rolled to a career high 43 points and 10 rebounds. “I felt so good tonight,” The young forward said after the game, “It’s the best I’ve felt since the knee surgery!” Theo Ratliff’s 28 points and 15 rebounds and Martell Webster’s 16 points helped pace the Blazers to the 25 plus point win.

The Bobcats struggled from tip off but did see four players reach double figures. As Coach Bickerstaff said though, “We didn’t come out too well tonight. The team needs to come out and play every night or they will get creamed like Portland did to them.” Kareem Rush led the club with 24 points.

- - -

7. Jan 3, Detroit Pistons at Cleveland Cavaliers

This was the game that’s most probably why the Cavs have moved one place ahead of the Pistons. Thanks to the efforts of Ilgauskus and Hughes, James’ slightly ‘off’ shooting night was turned into a good win for the Cleveland team. The Pistons’ Rip Hamilton suffered a horrible shooting night as the Pistons failed to stage a final push towards the win in the last period.

Minority owner Usher was sitting courtside for the first time this season and was pleased with the Cavs’ win saying, “You people should quote me in a month. The Cavs will lead the division thanks to this win.”

- - -

6. Jan 31, Utah Jazz at Cleveland Cavaliers

LeBron James is starting to show why he is a great player. He finished with 37 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steal but it was his clutch shooting that stood out in this game. James stopped the Jazz from making a successful comeback as he hit two treys from the baseline in the final 23 seconds to conserve a Cavs’ victory.

Rookie Deron Williams impressed the Cavaliers’ crowd with a stunning all-around game finishing with 23 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Andrei Kirilenko who had a fallout with Jerry Sloan ended up playing 39 minutes off the bench and recorded 16 and 12.

5. Jan 4, New Jersey Nets at Chicago Bulls

The Nets learnt that the bulls were for real; the hard way. Kirk Hinrich was magnificent with a mind boggling performance with 47 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. “Kirk was unstoppable,” Jason Kidd of New Jersey said, “He just hit a whole lot of threes over me. He’s definitely a force to be reckoned with.” Kidd finished with 12, 4 and 4 as his 3 for 12 shooting was solely influenced by Hinrich’s defence.

Richard Jefferson contributed 24 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks but it wasn’t enough to offset the performances of the Bulls. Tim Thomas had 24 points while Chris Duhon played a team game finishing with 17 points and 12 assists while Michael Sweetney set the tone on defence with 15 rebounds. “We did so well,” Luol Deng said, “That we didn’t miss Tyson (Chandler).”

4. Jan 23, Los Angeles Lakers at Milwaukee Bucks

The Lakers made sure that they moved into first place in the Pacific Division in style as they decimated the Milwaukee Bucks away. Kobe and his crew didn’t let the Bucks get to 20 points in three different quarters and thanks to this, the Lakers were able to win by 25. Kobe Bryant’s huge triple double of 43 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists alone was why the Lakers won.

Chris Mihm played his bets game of the season with 20 and 12. The Bucks had four guys in double figures with Michael Redd leading the way with 32 points. The Bucks fell to the second last spot on the ladder with this loss and will probably now allow rookie Andrew Bogut play more in future games.

3. Jan 3, Memphis Grizzlies at Portland Trailblazers

Zach Randolph started the month hot as he chipped in 28 points and 15 rebounds in a last second win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The game saw plenty of lead changes and a magical effort from off the bench for vet Eddie Jones. Jones scored 28 points in just 19 minutes including 5 three pointers in the second half.

Theo Ratliff was effective in shutting down Pau Gasol as he limited the Grizzlies’ star to just 4 of 18 shooting. Shane Battier finished with 16 and 12 for Memphis while Mike Miller gave the Grizzlies one last lead with 7 seconds left in the game off a jump shot. However, it was off-season acquisition Juan Dixon who scored the game winning jumper from the high post.

2. Jan 10, New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets at Indiana Pacers

Ron Artest must have got a bit of inspiration after the retiring of famous Pacers’ icon Reggie Miller. Artest prevented the Hornets from winning the game with his buzzer beating bucket that sealed a two point win. Miller who is known for many late game heroics had his number 31 sent into the Conseco Fieldhosue rafters after 18 years playing for Indiana.

Artest, known more for his defence, finished with 29 while Jermaine O’Neal added 17 and 11 and Stephen Jackson had 15, 6 and 5. The Hornets fell behind the Pacers after halftime but it was PJ Brown’s career high 22 fourth quarter points and 11 rebounds that put the visitors back within reach of a win. Brown finished with an outstanding 30 and 20 effort. Chris Paul came off the bench to add 23 points and 5 assists.

1. Jan 1, Chicago Bulls at Orlando Magic

It was trip back down memory lane for the Orlando Magic as Grant Hill played like his young self. The forward who has been plagued with injuries for much of the latter part of his career enjoyed a field night as he dominated from all over the court with 38 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals. Dwight Howard wasn’t surprised with his captain’s effort, “Grant really showed the crowd why he used to be considered the next Jordan. He’s proved that he’s worth all that money from his contract!”
It was Chicago who had the last laugh though as Tyson Chandler’s dunk with 14 seconds left helped them pull out with the win. Coach Skiles was pleased with the team’s efforts, “Sure, we let the Magic really have Grant Hill in a bit of a groove but we did control their other players really well.” Dwight Howard only scored 11 on 4 for 14 shooting while Steve Francis did have 8, 8 and 8 but shot 3 for 11 from the field. Chandler finished with 23 and 13 while Hinrich scored 20 to help pace the Bulls.

January Recap | Part Two

1 Feb AP - This is the second part of a special feature NBA monthly recap. These articles will be posted at the conclusion of every NBA month. Our second installment comes to you, informing you of the latest season standings as of Jan 31.

Season Standings

Atlantic

Image

The Nets cooled down in January going 3-2 as Toronto didn’t make much of a push for that top division position after going 3-3. The Sixers going 1-4 for the month are quickly sliding out of the playoff picture. There have been rumours that Knicks’ GM Isaiah Thomas might be sacked as the general manager but it has been on hold thanks to a light schedule during January seeing New York going 1-2. Boston also went 1-2 as they round up the bottom of the Atlantic.

There wasn’t really anything interesting in this part of the League except for Paul Pierce ripping it up but Boston not taking advantage of that.

Central

Image

Best division in the East by far and with exciting teams such as the Bulls, Cavs and Pistons, the Central Division continues to draw a lot of attention. Detroit threw away their division lead with 2 losses in the month. Cleveland, despite beating the Pistons, couldn’t keep it up as they lost 1 and allowed the Chi-town Bulls to take off pole position. More amazingly is the fact that the Pacers have also kept up with the top three teams as they also have a winning record in the East.

The Bucks at 5-14 are the outright worst team in the Eastern Conference and it seems that Andrew Bogut and Co. are calling for a change in the front office. As Michael Redd said, “We should be up there with the Bulls right now.”

Southeast

Image

The surprise of the month was the Bobcats going 4-2 to get further away from winning that wooden spoon although they are still cellar dwellers in the division. The Magic are second last but still had to go 3-4 to get there as the Heat hold onto the division lead with an 11-9 record. Washington had a quiet month as the Atlanta Hawks had a surprising 4-1 record for January.

With the recent acquittal of former Hawks’ GM William Sit, Atlanta went on a two game winning streak to celebrate.

Northwest

Image

The Nuggets handed that Number One seed to the Houston Rockets having lost two games in a row last month. The Trailblazers improved their record going 4-2 and look like they are the surprise team of the NBA for this season. Seattle hurt their chances of a playoff spot as they finish January on a record of 8-13 while the Utah Jazz never had a chance after their poor start to the season and getting worse. The Jazz went from 2-5 to 3-11 in one month.

Kevin Garnett must really want to leave after Minny improved their on their losing ways by adding 5 straight L’s to the win-loss column. They are currently riding a 7 game losing streak.

Pacific

Image

8-3 turned to 9-7 for the Warriors. 7-5 went to 7-8 for the Suns. The Kings stay steady at 8-8. The Clippers don’t deserve to be mentioned because they never had a chance to keep up with the rest of the Pacific. What does this all mean? The Lakers have crept up from a 6-6 record to get up to 10-7 and lead the Pacific. With all four teams only within 2 games of each other… anyone could reign supreme! Definitely an interesting race to follow!

On the topic of the Pac Division, Amare Stoudamire has returned to Phoenix and they seem like they are ready to vouch for that top spot on the ladder.

Southwest

Image

The Rockets keep rolling as they win 5 more to increase their win streak to 10 games. Texas partners San Antonio and Dallas are right behind them having won and lost a few but Houston looks safe for the Division title and possibly a first seeding. Memphis went 1-3 as the New Orleans Hornets just can’t get their groove together increasing their losing streak to 4.

Maybe it’s time for a bit of a mix up for the Hornets?
