Does Braylon Edwards, of the NFL's Cleveland Browns, have some sort of one-sided beef going with LeBron James? It sure seems like it, if you read the quotes from the man Edwards allegedly assaulted early Monday morning outside a Cleveland area night club.

But while Edwards may have a problem with James, LeBron's response made it seem like the two have never even met, much less exchanged any unpleasantries.

Every night there are some stupendous, silly, stupid, or downright outlandish individual lines from around the "lig." Doing Lines lets you know which one tops the list.

Boston had two reasons to beat Philadelphia: to flex its biceps, and to help ensure the Celtics and Sixers would meet in the playoffs. Those muscles gleam, because Paul Pierce nailed a jumper late to give Boston the victory, dropping Philly into the No. 7 seed heading into the season's final day.

Pierce scored 31 on 16 FGAs, filling offensive gaps left by the absences of Kevin Garnett (injury recovery) and Ray Allen (spastic elbow). Philadelphia has Thaddeus Young back, but dang. No good, y'all.

J.R. Smith took 14 field goal attempts for Denver last night. Thirteen of those came from behind the arc. He made eight, for a decent 57% shooting clip. But figure the three-pointer's bonus, and holy cow! that's 24 points on 14 shots. He added four FTs for a total of 28. Nuggets win, and remain in pole position for the No. 2 seed.

Deron Williams had 18/10 for the Jazz, and C.J. Miles had his best night in about six weeks with 19 points. It took Carlos Boozer 23 shots to get 15 points. That's a whole lotta misses.

Who's the most important player for the Utah Jazz? You could make a strong case for Deron Williams or Carlos Boozer, and I'm sure Mehmet Okur's clutch shooting will garner a few votes. Heck, there might even be a few holdovers from the Andrei Kirilenko camp. But hey, the stats don't lie, and the answer might surprise you. From Jazzbots:

It may not be sexy, it may not be pretty, but the more C.J. Miles plays, the more the Jazz win. During the '06-'07 season in games where C.J. played 10 minutes or more the Jazz went 13-8 (.619). When Miles played 15 minutes or more the Jazz won eight games and lost only two (.800). And when C.J. logged 20 minutes or more the Jazz were a perfect 4-0 (1.000). Oh, and in the 13 games C.J. Miles started the Jazz went 12-1 (.923).

Correlation is not causation -- I don't actually think Miles is the key for the team. He averaged just 2.7 points on the year, and in 13 starts averaged just 4.5. But, those numbers might be an indication that the rest of the starting lineup is so solid that it doesn't much matter who starts at shooting guard, even if it's a 20-year-old project. Miles, who signed his qualifying offer to remain with the Jazz on Monday, probably won't start very much this year -- there's not a clear-cut favorite at the moment, but Ronnie Brewer and Gordon Giricek have to be considered ahead of him on the depth chart. But at some point, if his number is called, the Jazz know they can win with him in the lineup.
