Jersey 159 vs Atlanta 181(W)

Atlanta pulls off a big time win. Jersey who is one of the elite teams thus far this year falls to Atlanta who seems to be rolling pretty well, Atlanta had a GREAT bench output with none of the bench players massing LESS then 20 points. Jersey's Gugliotta had a tough luck game having only 18 minutes.

Pennsylvania 206(W) vs Vermont 171

Vermont's lack of quality forward proves costly for them. Vermont who has a great guard tandem of Van Exel, Richmond, Houston, and Blaylock got the shaft from the forward as Nowitski and Stokavich werent able to play. Antonio Davis tried to step in to start and only got 12 points tonight. Forward sould be a area Vermont looks into.

Endor 174 vs Calgary 178(W)

In the biggest upset of the night, Calgary gains the win thanks to the home advantage. David Robinson was outplayed by Vin Baker which was a huge surprise. That second guard spot continues to hurt Endor as John Stockton only amassed 19 points.

Oakland 173 vs Toronto 187(W)

The whipping boys get whipped once again. Oakland drops to 1-8 after the loss to Toronto. Oakland continues to have a tough time shuting someone down as Joe Smith exploded for 46 points. To make matters worse for Oakland was that Joe Smith was traded to this Toronto team just a few games ago. Oakland was paced by a nice game by Michael Finley, but had troubles with Charlie Ward in the lineup. GM Jon was made as hell and he hit the wall, rumor has it that his pinky finger is puffy and it is unknown if surgery is needed. Jon vowed to get some more help in here by dealing Sprewell. Rumor has it that after game time GM Jon and GM Rick were seen talking together. Stay tuned for this one.

Harlem 168 vs Forest City 206(W)

Forest City was led by some big performances, and also had some horrible performances. But the big time performances sealed the deal over a struggling Harlem team. Antonio McDyess who was primed to have a good game against his former mates was ejected from the game for arguing a call. McDyess seing his former mates in action was quoted as saying, "damn that front line is stacked."

Edmonton 148 vs Chi-Town 213(W)

Chi-Town was just awesome in tonights game. Everyone of the starters put up a decent output. Edmonton however had a tough time from the starters as three starters only put up 46 points. Compare that to Jason Kidd who put up 42 points it put Edmonton in a bad spot.

Maine 192(W) vs Dublin 115

Featured Game

Maine squeks out a win as Steve Smith leaves the game with injury. Maine's front
court once again was the difference in this game, totally dominating the front court
of Dublin. Dublin who had a all around horrible performance was hampered by lack
of forward depth as Walker had to start the game and emassed less then 18 minutes!
Maybe these two teams should look into a deal. One team not enough guards, other
team not enough forwards! With Steve Smith's injury Maine is forced to start Calbert
Cheaney for a few games.
