NBA ACTION SATURDAY

NBA ACTION

What a day in the NBA. Where do I start? How can I go past Brandon Jennings 55 point game. This kid is a freak. Check out the highlight package below, he goes off! When you play with so much confidence, games like this one today can happen. Jennings was the 10th overall pick this year for the Milwaukee Bucks. He opted not to go to college, instead going straight to Europe to have a season there and develop his skills while earning some money. Who needs an education these days right? People called him crazy and critics were on his back about how college would have done him the world of good. Bet they ate their words today. Jennings and Bogut are developing a nice combination with Michael Redd on the sidelines with an injury. Bogut had another solid game with 19 points and 11 rebounds. But it was Jennings who shot 21/34 field goals and had 29 points in the third quarter alone. That is out of this world. Some teams don't have 29 points as a team in a quarter these days let alone by one guy.

How about San Antonio fielding a full strength line up for the first time in a week get beat by Oklahoma. With Tim Duncan and Tony Parker out of the line up during the week, the Spurs beat Dallas Mavericks at home. How is this possible to go down to the Thunder. I'll tell you why. These kids on the Oklahoma team bust their guts night in and night out. They don't care who you are or where they are playing you, they want to win. The Thunder are 5-4, if someone told me they would have had a winning record after 10 games I would have laughed in their face. Kevin Durant is leading his team every night. He is averaging 27 points per game and 7.5 rebounds a night. However this year it is the supporting cast that is helping him out. Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook are making sure it's not all about Kevin. Even in their losses this year they have been competitive, even going down to the Lakers in overtime. Will their wheels fall off during the season or are they in for the long haul. Only time will tell but they sure are exciting too watch.

I don't know if you were able to witness this live but on Friday Dwayne Wade dunked on Anderson Varejao something fierce. It was one for the ages! D-Wade is on fire and there is no putting him out at the moment. Today he hit the game winning three pointer against New Jersey on the buzzer. This guy has ice in his veins. Check the video below for Wades dunk on Big Anderson. I love it when he steps over him, you can tell how pumped he is! So Awesome, the crowd goes bananas especially on the replay!

  2. i've only seen him play a couple of games but if brandon jennings stays healthy he has rookie of the year locked in for sure. the first time i saw him play i thought this guy could put up big numbers, a week later he does just that. it will be interesting to see how him and redd combine when redd returns...

  3. If Redd can play a role instead of being the jack it up shooter he usually is then the Milwaukee Bucks could have a playoff spot. But it will be interesting!
