Last night a record was broken. Stud of the Day Nate Robinson broke the record for shortest ever Stud of the Day. Nate, if you’re reading, your trophy will be in the mail as soon as you make a dunk in the final round of the 200d Sprite Rising Stars Dunk Contest. Nate didn’t help the Knicks beat the Clippers, 128-124 in another defensive breakdown. The Cavs, led by Stud Mo Williams, beat the Suns in Cleveland. The Nuggests went into Orlando and beat the ‘Gic even though nobody actually played well for either team. The Sixers, led by Stud Andre Miller, pulled out a close one at home against the Grizz. The Raptors, led by Roko Ukic (yeah, you heard me) because Calderon and Bosh got the night off, beat the Spurs by two despite the best efforts of Stud (and baldy) Manu Ginobili. The Hawks went into Detroit and won a good game against the Pistons. The Bucks, who continue to finally use Ramon Sessions (read my Bucks preview), beat the Pacers and it wasn’t really that close. The Celts beat the Hornets despite the Dud play of Ray Allen (who also injured a finger) because CP3 had only a few awesome plays instead of the usual slew. Yao led the Rockets past the Kings, Stud Deron Williams led the Jazz past Kobe and company, and the Blazers took care of the Thunder. Full lists and top 10 after the jump.

Has “Billy” in “Billey Joe Johnson” been misspelled the whole time?

Ray Allen was hurt last night, so this Duds appearance doesn’t count.

look it up, GITC. Billey Joe Johnson.

8th. Behind those 5 guys, Lamar Odom, and Yao Ming. It should be noted that the 5th stud spot was a 3-way tie with Manu, Odom, and Yao and Manu won on tiebreakers.

miz, sparty-
Apparently it is spelled differently on different websites’ articles. I wonder which is actually right.

or look it up here.

I consider it a win that a Wizard didn’t make the Duds list.

sparty–I got hit with a rash of injuries last week…luckily I still pulled out a 4-4-0 against mikey…and now I’ve only got 2 guys out and one DTD…injuries have raped my team…already lost Redd and Brand for the season too.
(Quote)
Is there ever gonna be another FBB post?
/looks at mikey
(Quote)
so is this your way of making up for your ridiculous threadjack in the actual post about Billey Joe Johnson?
(Quote)
GITC….how can you not include Hedo Turkoglu on your duds?
35 Minutes 2-12 shooting 5 turnovers 6 fouls.
Dud of the night.

rek- i just need him to go on IR so i can free up a roster spot. he will be back this year, so i can’t just drop him.

i was doing well on injuries (only really lost kaman) until a couple weeks ago. kobe got sick of bynum stealing his thunder and took him out, then cp3 with the groin
(Quote)
He played like shit. I’m an equal opportunity fan.
(Quote)
for GITC – thought I’d pass on some info about poson ivy, basball, chiken, and gayinthecorner.

6 rebounds, 5 assists, and you’re forgetting that he was 6/6 from the line and had 11 points.

Those all have the red thing saying it’s spelled wrong. Billy Joe Johnson doesn’t.

Oh I’m sorry. I should praise one of the team’s best players for 6 rebounds and 5 assists when he shot 16% from the floor, commited 6 fouls, and turned the ball over 5 times.
(Quote)
all the major news outlets spell it billey. rivals even spells it billey. maxpreps spells it billey. you are wrong, gitc, let it go.
(Quote)
sparty–I know what you’re saying…I hated how I had Brand in for awhile because he was DTD…and then he’s out for the season and messed with my team while he was doing nothing but be injured. I got Boozer on the IR still and am hoping Brad Miller gets healthy soon.
(Quote)
wow. no clippers. no love on our end. oh shux. no loves them anyway…
(Quote)
gitc – that’s because enough retards spelled his name wrong that there’s now an alternate spelling. if you looked at every one of those google searches, there were multiple links associated with the mis-spelled word. I chose 3 of those 4 words to prove that even the most common words are mis-spelled and returned as valid results in a google search.

you’ve always played me tough if i remember correctly. and cp3’s absence had nothing to do with it

FBB is stoopid.

camby having a migraine cost me any chance of winning this week.

sparty – i know. i just can’t. someone has to support them you know.
in our parlance, that is like what we call “martyrdom”

sparty, aren’t you up 5-3 or 6-2 on me right now?
(Quote)
Grizz fan here, jp. I’m smellin’ what you’re steppin’ in.

down 2-5-1. had camby played, i would be up in boards as opposed to being tied, and pts would be almost deadlocked.

my bad, my team exploded after i went to bed last night. i won’t be getting any assists today, and boards will be close
(Quote)
