Last night, Kobe Bryant scored over half his team’s points (40) and reached a triple double.  No, not the good kind of triple double…the kind where you also have 10 turnovers.  An absurd line of 40/10/3/3 with 5 3PM, 12-28 FG, 11-13 FT, and the aforementioned 10 turnovers.  You’ll live with the high TO’s but the Lakers can’t.  In a night of high profile college basketball, the game turned out to be very similar.  I didn’t watch, but George Hill (19/5/5/1) hit the game winning shot to win 79-77 over Kobe Bryant.  Not to mention that the teams combined for 57 personal fouls (that’s an actual number, not some sarcastic number).  Did anybody enjoy watching that?  Glad I watched the ACC/Big 10 challenge instead.  Anyway, here’s what else happened in the NBA last night:

Darren Collison – Sometimes a coach likes to put a slumping player on the bench and see how he responds.

Please, blog, may I have some more?

As I mentioned the past couple weeks, every Wednesday I will release tiers for G/F/C in rotating fashion.  Here’s the original tiersupdated Guard tiers, and last week’s Forward tiers.  Starting next week, I’ll split this into a morning and afternoon post (morning for recap and afternoon for tiers) to better explain the movement taking place.  As always, if you disagree with the tiers then go f*ck yourself.  BUT FIRST, the recap of last night’s games:

Nene Hilario – Nope, the Wizards did not play last night but he will return TONIGHT!  We’ll see how much playing time he gets, but he is the most offensively-talented big man on the Wizards’ roster.  If you own Kevin Seraphin, this is probably the time to drop him if you haven’t already.
