While you were sleeping... 1 March 2009

Big night in the Association last night for the Jazz, let's get to it...

RAPTORS 98 @ MAVS 109

Would have been a pleasant surprise had the Raptors made a game of this.  I wasn't expecting much with this one.  Nevertheless, disappointing.

ROCKETS 105 @ TIMBERWOLVES 94

The Rockets recovered from their Bulls debacle to take it to the TWolves.  Can't wait for Wednesday.

SPURS 84 @ TRAIL BLAZERS 102

Almost went with the mixed reaction.  I mean, a Spurs loss is never bad.  But I want to pass Portland more right now.  SA had Duncan return and couldn't do jack against the Blazers.  Just something else to add to the hate for the Spurs.

HOR-NETS 99 @ NETS 96

Big road win for the Hornets.  They couldn't even contain David West let alone try to stop him.  Paul had 9 assists to follow up on his 20 assist game.

LAKERS 111 @ SUNS 118

I'm going with the cup's half full on this one.  I can't say that seeing the Lakers get pounded by Shaq isn't a good thing.  And since the Suns are still a couple of games back, it let's you enjoy this one without feeling guilty.

NUGGETS 94 @ PACERS 100

We're just going to end this with Boozer's mug.  Doesn't get any better than this.  Huge games coming up against Houston & Denver.

And here are you updated standings
