Here's some numbers for you:
3,000 career playoff points (Kobe Bryant passed that plateau and did not go to Colorado)
24 is the most assists in a playoff game. John Stockton and Magic Johnson have both had that many. Scott Skiles, coach of the Bulls, has the most in a regular season game. He set the record with The Magic who were swept by the Pistons who the Bulls play next.
23 assists by Steve Nash in the game where Kobe got his 3,000th playoff point.
16 is the number of playoff wins the Heat got last season.
13 is the number of unassisted triple plays in Major League Baseball.
10 is the number of 99 yard pass plays in the NFL.
9 is the number of goalies who have scored goals in the NHL.
8 is the number of playoof games I watched this weekend.
7/8 is how many free throws Ben Wallace made in Game 4 against the Heat.
6 is how many he made in a row to seal the game as the Heat fouled him because they thought he would miss. Ben learned 'em good.
2 halves in a basketball game.
2 technical fouls gets you ejected in a basketball game.
2 technical fouls is what got Stephen Jackson ejected from Game 2 of the series with Dallas.
1 is the number of times I saw Stephen Jackson actually stop a fight in Game 2.
1 is the number of riots Stephen Jackson has been in Detroit.
0 is the number of playoff wins the defending champ Heat got this season.
And in closing, Bill Deutrive on King of the Hill said the word ricoculous, which is a made up word combining ridiculous and ludicrous. Adam Carola made it up on Loveline and he used that same humor to make the first couple of seasons of The Man Show classic.
It is still hard to believe that Stephen Jackson was a peacemaker in the first half of Game 2. Maybe there's hope for us all.
