If you're impressed by what the Suns did to the Clippers in a recent home and home immediately after the All-Star break, than news out of the ABA will make your head explode.

The New Jersey Express, a semi-pro team in New Jersey, dropped 171 points in a single game earlier this week against the cleverly titled New Jersey Starting5.  What's next in New Jersey, a team named after the net?

Anyway, the 171 points actually isn't even a record, somehow.  In a triple overtime game in 1983, the Pistons squeaked by the Nuggets, 186-183.  Think about it.  And no, the Starting5 wasn't a disguised version of the Harlem Globetrotters.

Some interesting things to consider regarding this game/the league.

• The Express averaged 42 points a quarter.
• They had a 50 point lead at half.
• They had 112 points through three quarters.
• Their Eastern Division has a team in it called the New York City Internationalz.  Yes, with a Z.
• They play at Drew University, which has a capacity of 1,000, approximately 980 seats larger than necessary.

As for the shenanigans the Suns played on the Clippers, I honestly thought the boxscore from Wednesday's game had to be a misprint.

140 points, again? No. Couldn't be. And against the Clippers, again? No way.

But my friends, the truth is a sad but definitive, yes way.

For the second consecutive night, the Clippers proved just how awful they truly are. A team that has been so besieged by injuries (the most recent being Marcus Camby's eardrum caving in on a team flight, prompting Mike Dunleavy to say "We're inventing new ways to get hurt") was just made witness to the first team in nearly two decades to score at least 140 points on back to back nights.

Take a quick look at the numbers.

282 - Total points scored by the Suns in the two games. In their previous 3 games, they'd scored 290.
170 - Points scored in the paint by the Suns in the two games. Tuesday's 90 paint points outdid the full game efforts of the Raptors, Sixers, Magic, Nets, Hawks, Pistons, and Sixers (again) over the two day span.
65 - The total amount of points Amar'e Stoudemire scored in the two games (Previous 3 games, 64)
63 - The total amount of points the Clippers were destroyed by in the two games.
2 - Games that Zach Randolph was suspended for.
1 - Fists that Louis Amundson received to his face.
0 - The amount players that played 30 or more minutes in either game for the Suns.
