Tonight demonstrates why I have been hyping Biedrins: 23 points (11 shots), 11 boards, 2 steals, 2 blocks, all team highs, in his 33 minutes. What a stud. Remind me again, why wasn't he starting for the past year or two?
Other notables:
The Nash Rambler scores 20p (10 shots) - 7 a -- 31 min
Rudy, in the same game, scores 20p (13 shots) -- 22 min
Walter Hermann, back in action! 16p (9 shots) - 7 reb (3 off) - 4 a -- 23 minutes of play! Coach, here's a suggestion: start the man! There's no law against starting a white scorer in Detroit, I promise.
Jose Calderon puts his talents on full display tonight, 25p (15 shots) - 9 a - 5 reb, in his 43 min. of play.
Hinrich finally realizes he is now a SG, putting up 13 shots, for 18 points, in his 25 minutes off the bench. And STILL led the team in assists, with 4!!! (Supposed "PG" who took his spot took an astounding 20 shots, to go with a paltry 3 assists, in 37 minutes. )
Birdman Andersen led his team in blocks (3) and rebounds (7) in his less than 16 minutes, but got into foul trouble, picking up an early 5. Play smart, Chris, and you will force them to play you!
Troy Murphy led his team tonight in.... steals (3) and assists (5)! Ha, didn't expect that one, did ya? To go along with his 10 points and 8 boards, not a bad night for the starting PF.
Hedo continued his torrid shooting, scoring 21 on 13 shots.
Zaza continues his magician-like work on the boards, clearing 8 rebounds, 7 of them offensive, in his 21 min of play.
Kapono also had a nice night for Toronto, scoring 9 on only 5 shots in his 25 mins. Shoot, Jason, shoot!
Szczerbiak put in a very nice 12 points for his 7 shots, playing 21 minutes off the bench. Also, for Cleveland, Ilgauskas scores 18 on 11 shots.
