Winner: In a game that could have provided legitimacy to the Lakers' questionable status as a Western Conference contender, starting point guard Smush Parker submitted a truly "gack"-worthy performance: 4-for-12 shooting, zero assists, five turnovers. Oh, and he basically stood by and watched as Tony Longoria scored seven of his 19 points in overtime to propel the Spurs to
a big road win. Congratulations, Smush! We hope you keep up the bad work.
Uh, you're not supposed to just watch him, Smush.Runner up: The Celtics dropped a
105-91 decision to the Washington Wizards on Sunday. While the 14-point margin was bad enough, what makes it truly horrific is that it was the team's 11th consecutive loss overall, and their 9th straight loss at home. To put this in perspective, the Celtics didn't even play this badly when Rick Pitino was coaching the team. Ouch. The only reasons this tragedy didn't rate "Worst Of" honors are because
1. Paul Pierce has missed most of the season foot injury and
2. we hate the Lakers.
The Celtics' fall from grace continues unabated...
