Last night’s games left me with a few things. First thing’s first though, it left me with no Studs or Duds. Closest candidates were Joe Johnson for Stud and Brandon Roy for Dud. In fact, Roy would have hit Dud if he’s stayed on the floor for 22 more seconds. Anyway, the night also left me with no good games to write about. I guess it’s exciting that the Bucks and their Fear the Deer campaign will get a Game 6 in Milwaukee. Other than that? We all know Dwight Howard needs to, as Chuck put it the last few days, “not be so stupid” about fouling people. But the Milwaukee thing shouldn’t matter much because whoever wins will most likely lose to the ‘Gic. As far as the Suns go, I expected them to win, but I wonder how an extra day off might help Roy before Game 6 in Portland. Finally, the biggest thing I was left with after last night was dissapointment that Kenny and Ernie were off last night and therefore could not be around for the first voyage of this year’s fishing boat. Oh yeah, and Chuck threatened a NASCAR driver during Gone Fishin’, so there was that.
Below is the new format with the new instructions for where we are but with no updates as I said…
All games that would have fallen into the Stud/Dud of the Year category will be in bold. All games that would have fallen into the Stud/Dud of the Week category will be in italics. All games that would have fallen into the Stud/Dud of the Day category will be in regular type. Here are the lines that have stood out so far. That said, you will also notice the letters next to some of the numbers. Those show games that came out to the same overall score but are ordered by letter in terms of how the tiebreakers shook out. Lines from the most recent game in the series are in blue.

I thought minutes played wasn’t a factor? Or are you saying if he had played precisely 22 more seconds he would have accumulated a turnover or something? cbh49er(Quote)
No he would have ceased to be…HIGHLANDER…That would really make him a dud. GatorTrey(Quote)

When the Magic beat the Cavs in the Easter Finals AGAIN, I am guessing GITC will be catatonic. Looking forward to that.
