The Stat Line of the Night – 5/17/10 – Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bryant’s health has been called into question entering the Western Conference Finals in the NBA Playoffs. It appears that the question has been answered: No problem. Sporting a yellow knee brace in last night’s game, Bryant was able to play through the pain in a dominant performance that led his Lakers to a 128-107 [...]

The Stat Line of the Night — 5/16/10 — Joel Pineiro
When the Angels won 5 division titles in 6 years, they had some great hitting, sure, but the real key was always their superb starting pitching. Although the beginning of the season has been shaky at best for the Angels, its starting pitching that could bring them around in a relatively tough AL West. Joel [...]

The Stat Line of the Night – 5/13/10 – Rajon Rondo
Last night the NBA playoffs said goodbye to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Which in turn means that come July LeBron will likely be saying goodbye to Cleveland. The Celtics only care about the former. They chewed up and spit out the Cavs winning the series 4 games to 2. In game 6, Rajon [...]

The Stat Line of the Night – 5/12/10- Montreal Canadiens
So long, Sidney. Shine up those golf clubs, Evgeni Malkin. Take that vacation you’ve always wanted, Billy Guerin. You and the rest of the Penguins can go do whatever you want, including watching the rest of the NHL playoffs from home. The Montreal Canadiens scored early and often in game 7 against the Pens and [...]

The Stat Line of the Night – 5/11/10 – Paul Pierce
With the best-of-seven series between the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers tied at 2-2, Game 5 Tuesday night was critical for both teams. The last thing LeBron James and the Cavs wanted was to be traveling to Boston for game six with their playoff lives on the line, but Paul Pierce’s performance would help [...]

The Stat Line of the Night – 5/10/10 – Tommy Hanson
The Atlanta Braves have gotten off to a pretty slow start. The pitching has been decent, but the bats just have been unable to come alive so far. If the hitting won’t come around, then it looks like the pitchers are going to have to take the games almost entirely into their own hands. Braves [...]

The Stat Line of the Night — 5/9/10 — Rajon Rondo
One of the best playoff performances in Boston playoff history occurred last night. It wasn’t from Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, or Kevin Garnett, though. It was from Rajon Rondo, the young point guard who isn’t included in the “Big Three” discussion even though he had an all-star caliber season. Rondo single-handedly led his team to [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night – 5/6/10 – Johan Franzen
With their backs against the wall and elimination staring them in the face, the Detroit Red Wings needed to come out firing last night at Joe Louis Arena if they wanted to avoid being swept from the playoffs in front of their hometown fans. They did just that, and it was none other than the [...]

The Stat Line of the Night — 5/4/10 — Kobe Bryant
The Jazz are in all kinds of trouble in their Western Conference Playoff series with the Lakers. Boozer and Millsap are playing as well as they can, but the Lakers big men just seem dominant. The man that is getting to the basket at will, however, is a man the Jazz have never really been [...]

The Stat Line of the Night – 5/3/10 – Jake Peavy
Going into the 2010 baseball season, the White Sox felt confident that they had one of the best, if not the best, pitching rotations in the American League. Hell, it might have been the best in all baseball. The only problem is that their great starting pitchers haven’t been pitching well, and Jake Peavy is [...]

The Stat Line of the Night – 5/3/10 – Jaroslav Halak
During the opening round of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, it was the performance of goalie Jaroslav Halak which was largely responsible for the Montreal Canadiens improbable upset victory over the top-seeded Washington Capitals. After taking a beating at the hands of the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game one of their second round series, it became [...]

The Stat Line of the Night – 4/29/10 – Manu Ginobili
This one was almost over before it started. I’m talking about game 6 between the Spurs and Mavericks, although if I was talking about the whole series that would work too. The Spurs opened up a huge 22-8 lead at the end of the first quarter and ended up with a 97-87 victory. They took [...]
-
The Stat Line of the Night – 4/28/10 – Deron Williams
The Utah Jazz lost to the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night, but it sure wasn’t Deron Williams’ fault. The game was in Denver and Carmelo Anthony led the Nuggets to a 116-102 win. Utah still leads the series 3-2. Williams is still one of the most underrated players in the NBA. Williams is sort of [...]
-
The Stat Line of the Night — 4/27/10 — Caron Butler
Caron Butler has not played well in the playoffs so far, watching his team limp to a 3-1 deficit in their series against the San Antonio Spurs. The Mavericks are the 2-seed and although the Spurs are a tough draw at the 7-seed, Dallas’s performance has been a disappointment. New acquisition Butler was even benched [...]

The Stat Line of the Night – 4/27/10 – Josh Johnson
The San Diego Padres did not seem like a good team on paper coming into this season. Somehow, by some miracle, they managed to pull off an 8-game winning streak. Unfortunately for them the trip back to earth has been a rather quick and humiliating one. After losing to the Reds two nights ago, they [...]
