Recap Haiku: January 3rd, 2011

Recap Haiku is the Pick and Scroll's daily recap featuring yesterday's NBA games.

Heat 96, Bobcats 82
LBJ and Wade,
A pairing for the ages.
Tonight they showed why.

Magic 110, Warriors 90
He stood up on high,
The Prodigal Turk returned.
His speech was brief: "Ball".

Celtics 96, Timberwolves 93
Love is not enough.
Despite a great three quarters,
The Wolves collapsed late.

Hornets 84, 76ers 77
Sixers tried comeback,
But it wasn't meant to be.
NO CHAPU FOR YOU!

Nuggets 113, Rockets 106
Ziller mapped scorers.
Carmelo must've read it,
Bested Speedracer.

Jazz 102, Pistons 97
T-Mac's Legacy:
To put up great statistics,
But to no avail.

Recap Haiku: January 2nd, 2011

Recap Haiku is the Pick and Scroll's daily recap featuring yesterday's NBA games.

Knicks 98, Pacers 92
Knicks were on a slide.
Needed a win for morale,
And STAT provided.

Hawks 107, Clippers 98
A Strong Second Half,
And a Big Game from JoJo,
Led Hawks past Blake's Clips.

Celtics 93, Raptors 79
Return of Rondo,
Meant Rejuvenated Pierce
And Big Baby too.

Mavericks 104, Cavaliers 95
Matrix Reloaded
He did well in Dirk's absence,
Leading Mavs to win.

Kings 94, Suns 89
Haters Gonna Hate,
But they can't stop DeMarcus.
Neither could the Suns.

Trailblazers 100, Rockets 85
Little Patty Mills
Had career highs in points, steals.
Not bad Mr. Aussie.

Grizzlies 104, Lakers 85
What's up with LA?
They don't look like Champions.
Lets wait for Playoffs.

Recap Haiku: January 1st, 2011

Recap Haiku is the Pick and Scroll's daily recap featuring yesterday's NBA games.

Bulls 100, Cavaliers 91
Cavs won each quarter,
Except for the crucial third,
Where they scored nine points.

Hornets 92, Wizards 81
CP3 and Wall
But Matchup of the game was
Ariza and Young.

Heat 114, Warriors 107
Dubs had a hot start,
But then regressed to the mean.
Heat's Big Three played great.

Timberwolves 103, Nets 88
Machine led the Nets
Which is a terrible sign,
And why Wolves won big.

Nuggets 104, Kings 86
Carmelo came back,
But Nuggets didn't need him,
Not to beat the Kings.

Spurs 101, Thunder 74
Game of Old and Young.
Experience and great D
Won the Spurs the game.

Bucks 99, Mavericks 87
Three game losing streak,
All three without Nowitzki.
Mavs need their German.

Jazz 98, Grizzlies 92
Z-Bo keeps rolling
But Grizzlies fall once again
This time to good team.

Recap Haiku: December 22nd, 2010

Recap Haiku is the Pick and Scroll's daily recap featuring yesterday's NBA games.  I apologize for not doing one yesterday, I was still too traumatized by the events of the last Kings game, but we're now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Hawks 98, Cavaliers 84
Jo Jo at his best
Still not worth a max contract
But he's very good.

Bulls 87, Wizards 80
Chicago's Big Three
Rose, Boozer, and Joakim
Is really quite good.

Pistons 115, Raptors 93
Another Big Lead
This time the Pistons held it
Led by Rip's face mask.

Knicks 112, Thunder 98
Raymond Felton, y'all
Most underrated pickup?
To this blogger, yes.

Celtics 84, 76ers 80
14 straight for C's
Despite tons of injuries
This team is so deep.

Hornets 105, Nets 91
Okafor Ballin,
Thornton and West helping out,
Makes CP3 glad.

Jazz 112, Timberwolves 107
"Never say Never"
That's the Jazz motto this year.
ANOTHER comeback.

Spurs 109, Nuggets 103
My condolences
To Carmelo Anthony
Who lost his sister.

Rockets 97, Clippers 92
Griffin is unreal
But he needs his team to help,
Night in and Night out.

Jazz 101, Cavaliers 90
Sloan tied Pat Riley,
For the third-most coaching wins.
But he doesn't care.

Wizards 108, Bobcats 75
Since the Gilbert trade,
Wizards have been playing well.
Most of all, Nick Young.

Hawks 91, Magic 81
It's gonna take time,
For chemistry to happen.
Wasn't there last night.

Pacers 94, Hornets 93

And Dunleavy gets the tip.
What a great ending.

Mavericks 98, Heat 96
Dallas hates the Heat,
Who they lost a title to.
Poured it on last night.

Spurs 118, Suns 110
Nobody better,
Than the Spurs are as of now.
Who knows when they'll lose.

Trailblazers 106, Bucks 80
Jennings out for weeks,
So Dooling starts in his place.
Bit of a drop-off.

Rockets 121, Warriors 112
Ellis v. Martin.
That's always a fun matchup.
Martin has more help.

Clippers 113, Timberwolves 90
Griffin and Gordon.
Two great pieces to build on.
Clips will be scary.
