How the Ball Balls Dropped: Christmas Jitters



Bucks (98), Lakers (79)
The Lakers looked like they overlooked this Milwaukee team (that's a lot of looking), heading into a Christmas showdown with the Heat. Kobe got tossed with over 2minutes left in the game, though he probably wouldn't have helped much either if he didn't get ejected. The Bucks just outplayed LA, period. And the man of the hour was someone just about my height (HA!).

Mavericks(105), Magic (99)
The new Magicians (is that not what they're called?) played slightly better, Hedo getting 8 assists, Arenas leading a bench squad, and Richardson rallying the team back with a few threebees towards the end of the game, but Dallas still played like the better team that they are. Orlando's next chances of practicing their new bag of tricks are the top two teams in each conference, San Antonio and Boston. They're gonna have to do a David Blaine stunt to pull those off.

Thunder (99), Bobcats (81)
Well wouldn't you know it, Charlotte actually looked like it wouldn't even reach the 70pt goal that I gave them (which I actually thought was too low). They had 69 pts at the end of 3, and failed to score in the last quarter until about over 2 minutes left. MJ comeback v3.0 anyone?

76ers (76), Bulls(121)
Kurt "Crazy Eyes" Thomas got 12pts 8rbds and 5blks. Omar "Omar Asik who?" Asik had 8pts and 6rbds. Even Kyle "Ashton Kutcher" Korver got 10pts off the bench going a perfect 6of6 from the field, 2of2 from the three point line. And some other guys named Rose, Boozer and Deng got 22, 16, and 22. Let's just put it at that.

Nets (101), Grizzlies (94)
Melo who? If you ask me, Jersey's pretty a'ight with the Rise of the Machine! Mr.Sharapova had 16pts and 4rbds off the bench.

Warriors (117), Kings (109)
The Kings thought they had it with a 3pt lead with about 3 seconds to go. V-Rad had another idea (I am on fire with nicknames as of late!). He sent the game to overtime with a three pt buzzer beater, and the Warriors took care of business in the extra period. V-Rad... V-Rad!
