The Good, the Bad, the Kitchen Sink One day after and it's still hard to believe that Shaquille O'Neal now has twice as many All-Star MVPs as regular season MVPs. The Good Mike Bibby, Sacramento Kings Week's work: 2-0, 25 ppg, 3 rpg, 8 apg, 2 spg, 11 triples, 52.7% shooting Perhaps this would be the right time to point out that Mike Bibby made 15 3-pointers in December, 30 in January and, five games into February, has already hit 22 on 57.9 percent shooting to push him to 43.3 percent on the year. That would make him third-best in the NBA behind only Aaron McKie (44.6%) and Brent Barry (44%). We might also want to mention that he also has 35 assists to go with only eight turnovers this month, too. Yao Ming, Houston Rockets Week's work: 1-1, 27 ppg, 9 rpg, 1.5 apg, 1 bpg, 56.7% shooting Last week alone, went met up with Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal and Ben Wallace and came away with 70 points on 29-for-51 shooting while the two-time MVP, two-time All-Star MVP and two-time Defensive Player of the Year tallied a combined 56 points on 17-for-40 shooting. Kevin Garnett, Minnesota Timberwolves Week's work: 2-0, 24 ppg, 14 rpg, 2 apg, 1 spg, 3.5 bpg, 44.9% shooting Kevin Garnett missed three free throws last game and that's about the worst thing he's done in about two months of basketball since he missed five free throws on Dec. 30 but still tallied 28 points, 15 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block on 78 percent shooting. The Bad Chauncey Billups, Detroit Pistons Weak work: 0-2 record, 13 ppg, 2 rpg, 6 apg, 0.5 spg, 0 bpg, 34.7% shooting For only the third time this entire season, Billups failed to get to the free-throw line once while, in that same game against the Kings, failed to get a single rebound for the first time all season. Even more peculiar is the fact that he is now shooting 38.3 percent from the field (11th worst on the Pistons' 13-man roster) while shooting 42.1 percent from long range for a career high. Ricky Davis, Boston Celtics Weak work: 0-2 record, 9 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 1.5 apg, 0.5 spg, 0 bpg, 33.3% shooting If Davis can't complement or be complemented by LeBron James or Paul Pierce, two of the most well-rounded players in the game today, then he and his agent will be about the only ones who will ever remember that he once averaged 20.6 points per game back in 2003. Zach Randolph, Portland Trail Blazers Weak work: 0-2 record, 12 ppg, 8 rpg, 1.5 apg, 3 spg, 0.5 bpg, 36.3% shooting With Rasheed in the lineup, Randolph was a legit 20-10 guy with a career shooting mark of 49 percent. Without Wallace, what you see is what you get with 10 turnovers to boot.
thats awesome what they said about Yao! hmmmm.... also interesting that Zrandolph is struggling so much without Rasheed. Makes me wonder how well Yao would play alongside Rasheed. J
