The race for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East is set to go down to the wire with Philadelphia and Chicago locked in an intense battle. Speaking of intense battles, the Mavericks and Spurs continue their Texas-sized showdown for first place in the Southwest. The two are the only teams to have won at least 50 games in each of the past six seasons ... In the East, LeBron James scored 35 or more points in nine consecutive games. Since 1970, the only other players in NBA history to post streaks of 35 or more points in at least nine straight games are
Michael Jordan (10 in 1986) and Kobe Bryant (13 in 2003). In those nine games, LeBron James averaged 38.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 7.6 assists ... The Washington Wizards have the league's highest scoring trio. Gilbert Arenas (29.1 ppg), Antawn Jamison (20.6 ppg) and Caron Butler (17.3 ppg) are averaging a combined 66.8 points. Philadelphia's Allen Iverson (32.9 ppg), Chris Webber (20.3 ppg) and Andre Iguodala (12.2 ppg) rank second at 65.4 points. ... Jamal Crawford (26.3 ppg last week) became the first Knick this season to be tabbed Player of the Week, after knocking down two game winning jumpers en route to leading New York to a 3-1 mark. And you-know-who continues his own scoring rampage in the West. With 2,673 points, Kobe Bryant is 46 points shy of tying Elgin Baylor's franchise record of 2,719 points, which he established during the 1962-63 season. Bryant became the first player since Michael Jordan (2,541) in 1992-93 to amass 2,500 points in a single season.
My man Kobe doing it big time...He deserves the MVP award man or what u think?
