I am ashamed to say I missed the game between the Chicago Bulls and the Orlando Magic last night and was completely surprised this morning. No, not because Magic won the 107-78 game but because of Jameer Nelson and I doubt I was the only one.
Where did that come from boy? He scored more points and assists than Dwight Howard and Vince Carter both in the game on December 1st. He was put in the game for thirty-five minutes and he hustled with 24points, 9 assists, and 4rebounds. His average for the season has been about 14PPG, 3RPG, and 7APG so you can see why I am surprised. Dwight Howard on the other hand has an average of 21PPG, 12RPG, and 1APG. He scored a disappointing 13 points in the game against the Bulls and 0 assists in the thirty-four minutes he was in.
Now there's probably a lot of Dwight Howard fans out there getting pretty huffy right now and to them I say, 'relax. I'm a fan of Howard too so don't take it too personally when I see his off moments.' With that being said I think we should all be very thankful Nelson picked up the slack. Orlando held it's standing as #1 in the SE division with 14wins, 4 loses and a streak of 5wins. It's followed by Atlanta with 12wins, 7loses. The next Orlando Magic game is Friday, December 3 against the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons have been having an off season thus far with 6 wins and 13 loses. I don't know about you but I'll be watching the game and keeping a close eye on our boy, Jameer Nelson. I hope he keeps this up.
