NBA Daily Worst: Magic Bomb, Boozer's Kid Likes Heat, Bobcats Streaking and More
Welcome back to the Daily Worst, where every day we ignore the best of the best and pay attention to the worst. Why should the "best" get all the publicity? As always, no players or teams were hated in the production of this article.
Worst Fans
Today, let's start off with looking at the worst fans. What's wrong with three kids chanting "Let's go Heat" at the Miami Heat game? Nothing, unless their dad is Carlos Boozer, starting power forward for the Chicago Bulls.
Worst Buzzer-Beating Shot Ever
Corey Brewer got bailed out by the tip in from Rudy Fernandez here, but it didn't escape our eyes that the reason there was an amazing tip-in was that there was a horrible, horrible shot that set it up.
Worst Triple-Double
Andre Iguodala already had one of the three weakest triple-doubles since 1985 with his triple-ten game against the Detroit Pistons on March 23, 2005. Saturday night he got the fourth, and the first one in five years. What's more unimpressive is that one of the rebounds and two of the points came on this play, giving him arguably the weakest triple-double ever.
But hey, it is still a triple-double. Granted, it's not like Ricky Davis' weak attempt or something. It came early in the game. I just mean he got it by the skin of his teeth.
Worst Ending
The Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat are widely considered the two best teams in the East. The end of this game was a double-choke nightmare as both James and Rose went oh-fers from the line and then Chalmers split a pair before Rose missed a shot that would have tied the game.
On top of all that, you had some premature whistles from the ref. It was a great game for 47 minutes.
Worst Team
The Bobcats are so bad...! (Audience: How bad are they?) The Bobcats are so bad they lost to the Wizards twice in one week! (Laugh track.) It's funny because it's true.
If that doesn't convince you, watch them shoot free throws.
Worst Collapse
The Magic are going to have to be sent to remedial training at Hogwarts the way they're playing. They got beat down by the New Orleans Hornets for crying out loud. Actually, that's what Dwight Howard seemed to do after the game, cry out loud, blaming his teammates.
Worst Disappointment
There were those who were ready to put the New York Knicks into the Eastern Conference Finals after they signed Tyson Chandler. It looks like they have a better chance of winning the lottery at this point, dropping their ninth game in 10 tries. The NBA Tonight crew breaks down the Knicks breakdown here.
Daily Awards
Now it's time to hand out our daily awards. First up, the Bakers Award which goes to the player that made the most turnovers. In case of a tie, it goes to the player with the least assists.
In this case, it's Kevin Durant, who apart from his seven turnovers against the Warriors on Friday night, had a pretty stellar game, scoring 37 points and grabbing 14 rebounds.
The other award we give is the Upchuckers Award, which goes to the player who throws up, and misses, so many shots that it makes you want to vomit.
This weekend the award goes to DeMar DeRozan who has more capital letter in his name than shots made against Denver Nuggets on Saturday night. It wasn't for lack of trying though as DeRozan went 3-for-15 from the field.
