Each week I like to point out a great basketball shooting display and thanks to the crew at Dime for pointing out this one (below). Yesterday in the NBA, Eddie House from the Boston Celtics exploded for 20 points in a quarter against the Miami Heat. He finished with 7 of 11 from downtown, 9 of 15 from the field for 25 points in just 26 minutes of court-time. Eddie House is one of those shooters that can just catch fire at any moment. He's also one of those players with no fear (and no conscience), he's never seen a shot he didn't like it and provides an offensive spark off the bench for the defending champs.
Side note: not to be out-shone by his back-up, our boy Ray Allen also put on a basketball shooting display of his own. Ray was 9 of 12 from the field, 5 of 6 from downtown and 4 of 4 from the line. Quality!

… Where the Celtics couldn’t miss, however, was from the perimeter. Ray (27 pts, 5 threes) and Paul Pierce knocked down a few to give them the early lead, and in the second quarter it turned into The Eddie House Show on the way to a Boston blowout. House dropped 20 points in the quarter, hitting six threes and shooting pretty much every time he touched the ball (and within 0.4 seconds of touching the ball). He ended up with 27 points on 7-of-11 beyond the arc
