Line of the Weekend

Greg Monroe (Detroit Pistons): 20 PTS (9-14 FG), 6 REB vs. Chicago

Oh if Jimmy Buckets could've lifted the Bulls to a win over Detroit Friday, he'd definitely have the honors for this weekend. On the other end of the court, Greg Monroe was a force down low with Andre Drummond, knocking down some tough shots while Chicago played the Hack-a-Drummond game to keep the Bulls from coming back late in the game. He then followed it up with 15 and 15 against another playoff team in the Wizards. With the addition of Reggie Jackson, the Pistons are locked in on making a push for one of the final two seeds in the East playoffs.

Speaking of trades...

Last Thursday was possibly the craziest trade deadline in NBA history, with so many deals happening within the final hour before the deadline my head nearly exploded. Fortunately, not much trade action involved Big East players. Wilson Chandler stayed put in Denver, probably the only Nugget rumored to be dealt that ended up in uniform this weekend. The one Big East move on draft day was Steve Novak, who was sent from Utah to OKC in a multi-team deal.
