How the Ball Balls Dropped: A Message from Mr. West

Yo David, I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish but Tyreke evans had one of the best game winners of all time. One of the best game winners of all time! *shrug*

Thunder (89), Hornets (91)
Durant had his moment of clutchness (if the word exists) during his last game. Now it's David West's turn. West threw up a little up and under fade-away jumper from about 18 in the elbow and got the Hornets their 9th straight victory. And with the caption in the picture above, he also got the Hornets their first encounter with a douche.

Rockets (129), Timberwolves (125)
Well, they didn't disappoint with the scoring, that's for sure. The game was much more lopsided than the final score suggests. 'Sota just didn't have any answer for the Rockets' threebees in this game. The Rox went 14 of 30 from deep. Houson has now won 13 straight games against Minnesota. After the game, Kevin Love was interviewed about his team's struggling defense, which got me a little confused, coz, well, what defense?

Kings (96), Trailblazers (81)
The SacBoys finally got a break. They've lost 7 of their last 8 games, 3 of those coming in overtime, and only one loss came in double figures. This time, they managed to finish things a'ight. They did so mainly coz they limited the Western Conference player of the week LaMarcus Aldridge to a measly nine-point output. Props to Sammy Dalam-bear for that. (I gotta get back to the nicknamin' bonanza)

Wizards (106), Knicks (115)
New York finally ended their 6 game skid. The Wizards on the other hand continued theirs. They are now 0-21 on the road. They're inching closer and closer to the record of 29 straight road losses. These boys just can't get one away from home! They've tried everything! Even the rookie Kevin Seraphin tried to contribute in his own little way by putting his shorts on backwards (true story. the shorts on backwards, not that he tried that to get a road win).

Bucks (83), Bulls (92)
Who did the Bulls turn to in this game? MVP candidate Derrick Rose? No. Off-season big time acquisition Carlos Boozer? No. Chicago veteran Luol Deng? No. One of the ugliest men on the planet Joachim Noah? No. Well, he was their best color commentator. Who? you ask. The man who goes by the name "Big Sexy". Though I still prefer his old nickname, "Krazy Eyes" Kurt.

Spurs (113), Warriors (102)
Youch. The Big Fundamental finished the game, but he left for a long stretch because of a hurt ankle. Keep watch Spurs fans. His numbers might have dropped, but TD is still the cornerstone of this West elite.

Pistons (103), Magic (96)
Surprise, surprise. Remember this guy? Well, he showed up today in a Pistons jersey. T-Mac along with the Rail Thin Twins Prince and Daye scored 20pts apiece to shock the Disney Boys. McGrady's gettin his swag back too. After the game, he threw out this statement in his interview "I got us off to a good start...?". Nice.

Cavaliers (101), Nets (103)
I feel sorry for the Cavs. I really felt this was game was theirs. That last play by the Nets was terrible on the referee side. Ryan Hollins was already playing pat-a-cake on Lopez' back to try and get a foul since they had one to spare. No call. And Brook calmly swooshed the game winner. Boobie had a chance to win it on a threebee, but he clanked the final attempt. What's great about this game though, is we got to see the Graham twins together. 

Grizzlies (100), Raptors (98)
Another game winner for the night. Rudy Gay did a repeat performance of his game winning fade away jumper over LeBron James, as the ailing Raptors, playing without Calderon, Barbosa, Kleiza, Evans and Dorsey, failed to make a single three pointer, going 0 for 13, which marks the first time they did the feat since 1999. Wow. I feel old. 1999 sounds like it was last year. I just realized that's 12 yrs ago. Ffffffuuuuu....

Suns (95), 76ers (105)
Carter started things off with a monster slam. Too bad for the Suns, that ended up being his only field goal for the game. The Suns had 16 turnovers, only 2 more than the sixers' 14, but every Phoenix turnover was followed by a fastbreak dunk for Philly. That, and Thad Young just kinda took a shot at the Phoenix frontcourt. Here's what he said: "Their bigs like to step out and shoot jumpers, so that’s perfect for me..." Translation: "Their big men play like guards. Piece of cake".
