Ballin’: Joe Johnson Crossover Breaks Paul Pierce’s Ankles

Brooklyn 95, Boston 83: Rajon Rondo’s fisticuffs were fun, but Joe Johnson’s ankle-breaking crossover on old man Paul Pierce was better. Said Deron Williams about the rumble: “Rondo went up and grabbed him at his neck. He’s got scratches on his neck, on his back. What is he supposed to do?” Williams said. “(Retreating back with your hands up) sounds good. If guys haven’t been in a fight that’s what they would do. They would get whooped too.” How about that Brooklyn bench? Reggie Evans: 10 rebounds, Jerry Stackhouse 17 points, and Andray Blatche 17 points, 13 rebounds.

LA Clippers 101, Minnesota 95: We’re getting closer to the return of Ricky Rubio. That’s when the Timberwolves will be worth the price of admission. Also, a Lamar Odom sighting!

Atlanta 94, Charlotte 91: At least the Bobcats didn’t come out and get smoked like earlier in the week. Byron Mullens, the former Ohio State stiff, is having a very nice season in Charlotte (13.1 ppg, 8.4 rpg). The Hawks are a surprising 9-4. They had nearly as many assists (28) as Charlotte had baskets (30).

Utah 96, New Orleans 84: The Hornets have lost five of their last six without No. 1 pick Anthony Davis. Marvin Williams of the Jazz left the game with a concussion. That’s the second Williams they’ve lost this week (Mo, foot).

Oklahoma City 120, Houston 98: The Thunder welcomed James Harden back to OKC with some ferocious blocks. Harden shot 3-for-16. Kevin Durant led everyone with 37 points on just 22 shots.

Washington 84, Portland 82: Wizards win! Wizards win! Wizards win! 1-12!

I really enjoyed the slowed down highlights on Sportscenter of Harden getting burned on defense. And that block is an all time great “fuck you” play. Good stuff.

Don’t forget the Grizzlies. Speights with 18-12 off the bench in a home win against the Raptors.

Grandpa got crossed over worse by Jameer Nelson, the prior game. That one – woof.

The Jersey Rejects are gonna fall back to earth at some point. They’re nothing special.

Yeah, they are following the Atlanta Hawks model. Good enough to make the play-offs, but not good enough to do anything once they get there.

Mind-boggling to me that Stack is still ni the league and scoring double-digits.

The Hawks are a surprising 9-4.

Only to people, such as yourself, who underestimated them. The only thing surprising about them is that they won at OKC. Look at their schedule and tell me other that win and a winnable game they lost at Golden State what is surprising about them? They had a tough 8 game stretch to start the season and went 4-4 which was a reasonable expectation and now they’re in the middle of one of the easiest stretches of games of the season. They survived a tough first 8 games and are now thriving against the dregs of the league, minus a good win over the Clippers.

It’s not like there are a bunch of teams behind them that can make them pay for falling back to earth. Miami, NY Knicks, and???????????????

The crossover by Johnson is not impressive (he lost the handle, and managed to keep it)…Paul Pierce falling forward as a form of defense is Penn State Sad.
