what a game. Nene is becoming a really dominant player in the post. This team looks like it might be able to make some kind of a push in the playoffs. AI is leading the team exactly like he should, scoring his 20 and getting everyone else involved at the same time. and as for the team....You can call them butta cause they on a roll!!!!
Marcus Camby is a beast. He has recorded at least one block in 61 of 67 games he has played this year. His 3.2 BPG, 1.2 SPG combined with 11.7 RPG, should make Camby a lock for defensive player of the year IMO.
