"After a record-breaking day for news and just about everything else on Monday, last night was thankfully light. Folks talk about the players suffering from the lockout, but in the nobody cares department NBA writers have been put through the ringer after an endless (and busy) offseason of non-news news stories. That was followed by a three-week preseason that included four months' worth of news, and fast-forward to today the action comes in flurries and it doesn't really stop. I said before the season that the experienced and aggressive fantasy owner would clean up in this cornucopia of basketball hysteria, but what I failed to mention is that we all might go crazy in the process.

Monta Ellis scored a career-high 48 points on a ridiculous 18-of-29 shooting (including three treys) with seven rebounds, two assists, two steals, and a block, Stephen Curry hit 7-of-9 shots for 16 points with seven boards, 10 assists, two steals, and a three, and David Lee became the first Warriors PF since Chris Webber to triple-double with 25 points, 11 boards, 10 assists, and one block for good measure.
