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.
If you're not a close follower of the NBA, then just six games or so into the season, we can't necessarily hold it against you if the name
Tyreke Evans doesn't ring a bell. Besides being a rookie, Evans plays for the
Sacramento Kings, a team that won just 17 games a season ago, and figured to be about as bad this year with stud scorer
Kevin Martin sidelined
indefinitely with an injury.
But after what Evans did to
Deron Williams in leading his undermanned team to a road win in Utah on Saturday, he won't remain anonymous to basketball fans for much longer.

The D-League today. The NBA tomorrow.
Why not?
If there ever will be a female NBA head coach in my lifetime, I'm thinking Nancy Lieberman has got a shot. Lieberman took the first step toward that Thursday when she was named head coach of the Dallas Mavericks' D-League team in Frisco, Texas, that will begin play next year.
"If I am successful, I'm sure that I will be looked at (by the NBA),'' Lieberman, while on her way to her press conference to be introduced, told FanHouse by phone. "If I'm not successful, I won't be.''

The last time we got together, three different players scored 40 points or more on the same night. Well, maybe it's not as rare of an occurrence as we thought, since we were just a single point away from it happening again on Wednesday.
Chris Paul missed by one with 39, but
Kobe Bryant and
Dwyane Wade each delivered, with 41 and 40 respectively.

Chris Paul was dazzling on Wednesday against Dallas, in what really was a must-win for the
Hornets if they were going to have any sort of confidence in their ability to play with the top teams as the season goes on. Paul dragged his team to a win with 39 points, on 14-for-23 shooting, including three of four from three-point land.
But as great as Paul was and as below average as Dallas was (
Dirk Nowitzki was held to just 12 points on 4-of-15 shooting), if we're going to be honest, his Hornets were fairly fortunate to be able to pull this one out.

Looking back at the first week of the 2009-10
NBA season, someone missed a golden opportunity for a Halloween costume.
Wouldn't it have been great if two
Lakers fans had gone as
Shannon Brown and
Josh Powell with the fan who was Brown holding onto a rim (a Nerf rim would have been fine) and sitting on Powell's shoulders?
"Whatever do you mean, Professor Stinkface?"
You know what I mean. Video after the jump.

We're just a week into the season, so don't get mad if your team isn't where you might have expected. It's just that if we go by what we've actually seen, as opposed to what's been predicted, then this is for the most part where teams should fall based on their early performances. But if you're offended by the spot your favorite team holds, fear not: they likely have 79 regular season games remaining to right the ship.

Filed under: Mavericks, NBA Police Blotter

Popeye Jones, a veteran of 11
NBA seasons who's now entering his fourth season as a player development coach with the
Dallas Mavericks, was arrested Sunday evening and accused of drunken driving. According to the
Dallas Morning News, the Richardson (Texas) Police Department received calls from other motorists complaining that someone driving a gray GMC Yukon was driving erratically.
When he was pulled over, Jones refused a breathalyzer exam -- and briefly resisted arrest. At some point during the whole incident, Jones' face hit the pavement, resulting in minor cuts and one bloodied mugshot. If he merely "lost his balance," as the
Morning News reports, it won't bode well for any defense claiming that he wasn't intoxicated.
