7000 Club

Andre Miller had 12 assists in a 98-87 win over the Jazz last night, putting him over 7,000 for his career. Miller became the 14th player in NBA history to reach the 7,000 mark, and fittingly he did it in Utah. Miller needs 86 assists to pass Tim Hardaway for 13th all-time, and he trails another TrailBlazer great, Terry Porter, by 150. At his average of 7.2 apg he could catch Porter in roughly 21 games. Hopefully Portland makes it to the Western Conference finals so he can achieve it before a potential lockout puts it out of reach!

The playoffs are out of reach for the Milwaukee Bucks, so the season is already over for Andrew Bogut. He will rest his elbow in preparation for another surgery. Bogut only appeared in 65 games this season, but he was productive when he played. He averaged 12.8 points, 11.1 rebounds (including a career-high 27 against Miami in January), and a league-leading 2.58 blocks per game. That's right - Andrew Bogut led the league in blocks per game. Not Dwight Howard (#3 at 2.4), not Serge Ibaka (#4 at 2.37), not even the surprising JaVale McGee (#2 at 2.44), but Andrew Bogut with his sore elbow. Check out this highlight video of a few of his 168 blocks this season.
