SUPPOSEDLY

Juwan Howard dunked last night.

HOWEVER

There are no pictures of it.

AND

The play-by-play credits him with a layup and a ‘two-point shot’.

CONCLUSION

No dunk.

ALSO

Chill out, Juwan Howard.

MOVING ON

How about those basketball games last night? They were good basketball games.

KIND OF

Yeah, Blazers/Hawks was really only good for the last two minutes of regulation. Mavs/Bucks was pretty good throughout, but outstanding the for the last quarter and OT.

FACE-OFF

More impressive shot: Rudy Fernandez’s pumpfake and leaning three to force overtime OR Dirk’s eighteen bounces off the rim game winner?

I CAN’T DECIDE

On one hand, Rudy’s was incredible because it was a super tough shot from an awkward angle. On the other hand, you knew Dirk was going fadeaway jumper, and you knew it was going in. And it did.

You choose, in the comments.

BIG UP YOURSELF

Joe John…son (35/3/9). Dirk Nowitzki (32/11/3). Brandon Jennings (25/7/8).

CHILL OUT

Ersan Ilyasova, with your 1990s facemask. Charlie Bell, with your never knowing what to do with the ball. LaMarcus Aldridge, with your never helping on defense. Drew Gooden, with your fancy pants dribble moves. Juwan Howard.
