No Biedrins? No Biggie. Former D-Leaguer Anthony Tolliver To The Rescue!

In last night's Golden State Warriors game, Andris Biedrins went out with a groin injury, ending his night with just 15 minutes of playing time.
No worries. Former D-League call-up Anthony Tolliver came in off the bench to play 42 minutes. How'd he do in those 42 minutes? 19 points, 14 boards, five assists and a steal. He even hit 3-of-6 from 3-point range, single-handedly proving that I'm not an idiot when he remembered that he's not a terrible 3-point shooter.
He also hit the go-ahead lay-up in a 95-88 comeback victory over the Pistons and forced D-League Digest's Steve Weinman to create the following hashtag on Twitter:
#showmedleaguealumdominance
Done and done.
Fellow/former D-League call-up as well as fellow Warrior C.J. Watson had 17 points, eight board and five assists.
And that was your Sunday morning's D-Leaguers in the NBA update.

And the first question of the postgame interview was about the D-League to boot!
Great to see Tolliver playing a big role in the win.
And thanks for promoting the new tag.
I’ll probably have a bit to add on his performance coming in tomorrow morning’s Digest.

Growing up in the Weinman household, you learn two rules very quickly if you aspire to reach double-digits in the years-of-age category: Hate thy Knick, hate thy Yankee.
Go Celtics, Go Dodgers. -sw
Yeah
I didn’t really have much to add on how he went about putting up those numbers simply because, being the D-League blog that I am, I opted to watch D-League games. :-)
(Before people think I’m an asshole for calling Weinman out for that, I’d like to note that he, like over half of the USA, doesn’t have access to lovely VERSUS.)
I blog at Ridiculous Upside. I know you'll love it.
