The losing streak is over and just at the right time.  If they wouldn’t have won tonight against Milwaukee then they could of at least tied the longest NBA losing streak at 24 games since the next five games would have been on the road.  Instead the losing streak ends at 19 games which in all reality is still down right pathetic.  Congratulations Boston, but don’t get to happy over one win. 

This week might be a little bit of a surprise, but it really shouldn’t be if you think about it for a little bit.  The award is presented to Gilbert Arenas of the Washington Wizards due to not living up to his personal guarantee of scoring 50 points against Portland yesterday.  Gilbert made this vow in retaliation for Portland coach Nate McMillan’s involvement with Arenas being left off the U.S. national team last summer.  Making such a guarantee isn’t very smart because it definitely will fire up the opposing team, but what makes Gilbert a DUMB ASS is the fact he mustered only 9 points against the Trail Blazers.  I really like Arenas, but to stand up and make such a bold statement and then flop that bad is flat out sad.  Gilbert please don’t do silly things like this again because you don’t want to tarnish what has been a phenomenal season to date.

I bet Larry Bird, Robert Parish, Kevin McHale and other Celtic greats are in serious discussions about suiting up and playing a game for Boston so this ridiculous losing streak can end.  The Celtics fell last night to the Miami Heat 79-91 due in large part to Dwayne Wade’s 30 points and 9 assists.  The Celtics next six of eight games are on the road and if they found a way (which they COULD) to lose all eight games then they would tie the all time NBA record for consecutive losses.  The 82′ Cleveland Cavaliers lost 24 in a row and hold the lowly record.  Boston plays at home Friday evening against the 23-27 New Jersey Nets. 

The leading scorer of the NBA Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets was left off the Western Conference All Star reserves today.  Do you think this has anything to do with showing his A$$ in Madison Square Garden a couple of months ago in the melee with the Knicks?  You damn right it does and it makes me very happy because it finally seems the NBA is trying hard to clean up its image and not prop up the players who bring them down.

Kobe Bryant was beside himself after he learned of his one game suspension handed down from the NBA Tuesday for his elbow to Ginobli of the Spurs this past weekend. The Lakers were set to play the New York Knicks Tuesday evening so Kobe requested an immediate appeal hearing to the NBA office, but around 5:00 om ET the league turned down the request. Kobe was not allowed to play in Madison Square Garden and the Lakers lost 94-99. Kobe was and I’m sure is still livid about this questionable suspension and I doubt this will be the last we hear about it.

It always helps when you have a long winning streak and you are playing the New York Knicks and the Suns took full advantage of the situation.  Phoenix won 112-107 in Madison Square Garden and their current record is now 34-8.  Amare Stoudemire dropped 30 and Steve Nash scored 22 points and also dished 14 assists.  Phoenix plays at Milwaukee this Friday and 16 is definitely possible.

This week it goes to the NBA’s leading scorer Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets. Carmelo decided to put a big black eye on what has been an oustanding season for him to date this past Saturday in a game against the New York Knicks. Carmelo was involved in an ugly brawl with the Knicks after teammate J.R. Smith was hammered on the way to the hoop against Mardy Collins. Carmelo currently averages 31.8 points a game, but will miss 15 games due to his part in the latest NBA brawl. The NBA has to shed itself its thug image, but this latest incident will only make it harder.
