Stock watch:
↑ Andrew Bogut: no one’s been better lately, blocking like nobody’s business
↑ Rudy Gay: great overall numbers, low turnovers
↑ Marcus Thornton: by now we know this: he’s no fluke
↑ J.R. Smith: second-half comeback was just a matter of time
↑ George Hill: taking full advantage of Tony Parker’s absence
↓ Chris Bosh: return from ankle injury has been unimpressive
↓ Kevin Garnett: seems to be bottoming out
↓ Steve Nash: back, abdomen issues are clearly holding him back
↓ Brook Lopez: terrible week, not blocking, turning the ball over a lot
↓ Rashard Lewis: disappearing act continues
