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.Boston had two reasons to beat Philadelphia: to flex its biceps, and to help ensure the Celtics and Sixers would meet in the playoffs. Those muscles gleam, because Paul Pierce nailed a jumper late to give Boston the victory, dropping Philly into the No. 7 seed heading into the season's final day.
Pierce scored 31 on 16 FGAs, filling offensive gaps left by the absences of Kevin Garnett (injury recovery) and Ray Allen (spastic elbow). Philadelphia has Thaddeus Young back, but dang. No good, y'all.
Day of Rest: There's nothing funny about a game in which Mario West played 39 minutes and in which Chris Quinn took nine FGAs. (He missed them all.) The teams barely broke the 40% field goal percentage barrier. Flip Murray took 20 shots off the bench! Othello Hunter and Thomas Gardner each played 20 minutes! I was not aware either was in the NBA, to be honest.
Bizarro Shuffling: The assumption heading into L.A.-Utah was that the Jazz desperately wanted to win, hoping to avoid a first-round match with the Lakers. L.A., on the other hand, probably sees little difference between the Jazz and Mavericks. (The Hornets, also flitting in the same range, would be terrifying.) Yet it was the Jazz sitting starters Mehmet Okur and C.J. Miles while the Lakers went normal, even getting Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum 30 minutes each.
Lakers win, and the Jazz will stay in L.A. Good work, fellows. I'm sure the extra day of rest (given the four days to come prior to the playoffs' beginning) will really help out.
