Last night Maurice Evans packed his bags and headed east after being traded to the Magic along with Brian Cook for forward Trevor Ariza. In this space yesterday morning, I hoped that Royal Ivey would get to see the court at the same time as Daniel Gibson. Turns out, it was an absolute clinic by the two former Horns. D-Gib scored 26 points on the night, adding four assists and two rebounds in his 36 minutes of play. Royal with Cheese had the best game of his young career, scoring 15 points in just under 15 minutes while logging three boards, two assists, and two steals. And as far as bragging rights are concerned, Ivey and the Bucks snagged a 111-107 victory. No Kwame Brown means more Chris Mihm. Andrew Bynum got the starting nod over Mihm, but the Westlake and UT grad pitched in with nine points and four boards as the Lakers killed the Pacers, 134-114. T.J. Ford and the Raptors jumped out to a huge early lead against the Mavs, but cooled in the 3rd quarter and allowed homestanding Dallas to escape with a 105-99 victory. Ford scored 13 and dished out five assists in 22 minutes on the court. Tonight Can Royal Ivey claim scoreboard over a fellow Longhorn for a second-straight night? Chris Mihm and the L.A. Lakers hope that isn’t the case as they travel to Milwaukee. (7 PM CST, NBA League Pass) T.J. Ford and the Raptors hope to bounce back in Memphis against the Grizzlies. Tip #1 from Longhorn Road Trip: Keep Jose Calderon on the bench the entire night and let T.J. play 48 minutes. Problems solved. (7 PM, NBALP) Daniel Gibson travels to Minnesota when the Cavs and Timberwolves tangle in the Target. That’s called alliteration. (7 PM, NBALP) We hope to see the debut of Maurice Evans in a Magic uniform as Orlando travels to San Antonio and tries to avoid Tony/Eva overhype. (7:30 PM, NBALP) LaMarcus Aldridge and the Trailblazers host the Nets in a matchup of 4-7 teams. (9 PM, NBALP) |
