Nobody is aware of Ben Gordon

Our good friend Ben Gordon shot like a crazy-person good shooter last night, going 9-9 from three to lead the Bulls over the Wizards.

It actually tied an NBA record for most threes made without a miss, and obviously is also a personal best for Ben, which is heartwarming and soothing to your soul. Unfortunately, nobody was paying attention.

“I didn’t know how many three’s I had honestly,” said Gordon, who added five assists. “I didn’t even know, I did not miss or anything. I was just letting them ride.”

“It’s also hard to beat a team when a guy goes 9-for-9 from the 3-point range,” said Wizards All-Star guard Gilbert Arenas, who scored 36 points. “We just didn’t do anything different against him all night because we didn’t know he was shooting that well until we saw the stat sheet after the game.”

That’s some good coaching by the Wiz staff. Shouldn’t someone have dropped into the timeout with a “keep an eye on that guy wearing #7 in the white jersey” or a “y’know…Ben Gordon seems like he’s hitting a lot of the shots from behind that line thingie out there…the – what do you call it – three-ma-doober thing.”

Anyway, this just solidified the mess that’s known as the bottom half of the Eastern Conference playoff bracket. The 5-7 seeds are the Wiz, Pacers, and Bucks, all at 39-40. The Bulls are in the 8 spot, but only a game and a half back. The question is – do any of them want/need into the playoffs, or should they tank and let Philly take a go at it?

Pacers: Sure, why not? You’re all getting blown up this summer anyway. Might as well go get embarrassed in the postseason, just to ensure there’s enough anger in the building to go through with the huge changes.

Bucks: Sure, why not? You’re all getting blown up this summer anyway. Might as well go get embarrassed in the postseason, just to ensure there’s enough anger in the building to go through with the huge changes.

Wizards: Sure, why not? You’re all getting blown up this summer anyway. Might as well go get embarrassed in the postseason, just to ensure there’s enough anger in the building to go through with the huge changes.

Bulls: Sure, why not? You’re all getting blown up this summer anyway. Might as well go get embarrassed in the postseason, just to ensure there’s enough anger in the building to go through with the huge changes.

What – it’s Saturday. You really want us to think this through on a Saturday? In fact, not only is it Saturday, it’s the Saturday before Easter, which means it’s EGG TIME!!!! YEAH!!!!!

EGGS!!!!
