Doing Lines: Snub Watch

Every night there are some stupendous, silly, stupid, or downright outlandish individual lines from around the "lig." Doing Lines lets you know which one tops the list.

As with the rookie snubs earlier this week, it's time to watch for the Disrespect Bounce. Namely, dudes like Al Jefferson, Mo Williams and Rajon Rondo -- did they explode to prove a point?

Jefferson got a shot against the toast of the West, and did his part: 34 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks for Big Al against the Lakers. Unfortunately, the team's defense was atrocious and Ryan Gomes missed double-digit field goals, and the Wolves dropped their second straight.

Williams put up a marvelous line as well, with 23 points on 16 FGAs, six assists and just one turnover against the woeful Clippers. Mo does his work by scoring; Rondo is more of an ethereal being, and it showed in Detroit. Rondo totaled just eight points, but added 12 assists with just two turnovers in a win at Detroit.

Crazy good: Joakim Noah is still moving along, coming up with a great game in Sacramento. Seventeen points for the big nut, with six rebounds and three blocks. Most of the points came filling the lane in transition. It works, and it worked.
