It's been a while. Anyway, as usual, these last few days of the regular season have given us the most random, out of left field performances of the year. So here are, in no particular order, my favorite unexpected explosions of this regular season's final few days;
- Ramon Sessions suddenly becoming a clutch shooter, then putting up 12 points, 6 rebounds and 13 assists, followed by a 20, 8 and 24 and then a 25, 7 and 14, with a combined 7 turnovers in those three games.
- Aaron Gray averaging a promising 16.8 points and 10 rebounds per 40 minutes and never getting any burn, then putting up 19 and 22 on the one day he gets 35 minutes.
- Milwaukee and Chicago exploding for a 135-151 final score, less than 72 hours removed from two putrid performances where the Bulls managed a meager 84 points against Orlando and Milwaukee was held to 86 by Boston.
- Andre Brown managing a 13 point, 13.5 rebound per game average over his last 4 games. Before this remarkable stretch, Andre had cracked double figures once in the points column and never grabbed more than 7 rebounds in a game in his two-year career.
-Solomon Jones, he of the gaudy 2.4 and 1.9 career averages, playing 2 minutes and 25 seconds and registering a zero accross the boxscore.
- Jeff Green and Kevin Durant averaging a combined 71 points and 21 rebounds in the Sonics' games against Golden State and Denver, both teams fighting for their playoff lives.
- Sean Marks coming into the Portland game with season totals of 43 points and 23 rebounds, then boosting those numbers with a 16 and 13 double-double.
- Juan Carlos Navarro taking 20 field goal attempts against the defensive stalwart that is Denver. And making 5, unfortunately...
- Jason Collins multiplying his ppg by 3.5 for a 7 point performance against Portland, which was predictably followed up by a double doughnut in points and rebounds.
I'm sure more will come, stay tuned...
