Cheer up, Danny Granger. You get to play the Clippers at home tonight!Welcome back to BAD, fellow hoops junkies. Happy Day-Before-Thanksgiving! To help you prepare your stomach for the unreasonable amounts of turkey you'll surely be consuming tomorrow, take it easy on the snacks tonight. That'll probably be hard to do, since I'm sure you'll feel compelled to go to the fridge just to get away from the TV for a few minutes during some of these less-compelling games. Consider it a test of your will. Pounds of glorious white and dark meat covered in gravy will be your reward for passing.
And just so you know, posting may be a little limited here the next few days. We're celebrating the holiday weekend just like the rest of you. But don't be afraid to stop by and post in the comments section from time to time. Good conversation is always appreciated.
Nationally Televised Games:
Heat at Magic - Dwyane Wade owns the Magic when it comes to putting up big numbers. His career scoring average there is higher than against any other team. Yet the Magic have won 12 of the past 13. That's an excellent reminder there's more to winning basketball games than individual scoring efforts.
All The Other Games:
Clippers at Pacers - The Pacers have lost four straight. The Clippers have won two straight. But they're still the Clippers, and Donald Sterling is still delusional.
Raptors at Bobcats - Toronto is averaging 107.4 points per game. They are also losing quite a bit. When oh when will NBA teams learn that defense is good?
76ers at Celtics - The Celtics may be slowing down, and Sheed may be jacking up threes without second thought, but these 76ers just aren't very good. Andre Iguodala leads his team in points, boards, assists, AND steals. Doesn't Elton Brand play for this team? Didn't he used to be kinda good?
Bucks at Hornets - Alright, I'm halfway on the Brandon Jennings bandwagon. He had a crappy night his last game, but he's still impressive. Unfortunately, he gets to play against the rejuvenated Hornets tonight. And the Hornets have won seven straight against the Bucks. Good luck with that, Brandon.
Crabs at Pistons - Remember when the Pistons were good? 2004 sure seems like a hell of a long time ago now, doesn't it?
Nuggets at Timberwolves - Remember when the Timberwolves were good? Yeah, me neither. But they're one win ahead of New Jersey!!
Mavericks at Rockets - Does anybody else expect the Mavs to be angry enough after losing to the Warriors to play hard early on in this game? Unfortunately, they're tired, and the Rockets have plenty of rest. Not good.
Warriors at Spurs - The Spurs may not be an elite team at the moment, but they at least have more rested players than the six player lineup the Warriors trotted out last night.
Grizzlies at Suns - Memphis has won four of five games lately. Phoenix has won fourteen consecutive home games. For some reason, I can see Phoenix coming out ahead in this battle of statistics. (By the way, Steve Nash is kind of a good point guard. Who knew?)
Nyets at Trailblazers - Oh, no. New Jersey on the road? Really? This would be my pick for Bawful Game of the Night, except for...
Knicks at Kings - New York and the Maloofs, everybody!

Don't you mean the Warriors? aka the bawful team that somehow has the mav's collective nutsack in a vice grip?
Bawful -- Point very well taken. Sadly.
Pffft!
Duuuude. Never admit something like that! Make shit up if you have to. You were busy taking a bullet, or fighting off a zombie horde, something.
So, by the way, all that stuff I wrote about D-Wade owning the Magic? So much for that. He's struggling big time on offense so far in the first half.
Stop snubbing people in the offseason because they end up shitting all over you in game. First Thornton and now J-will? I can’t wait for Jamaal Tinsley to get his first career triple-double
Captcha: seddlev
As in "AI could have seddlev for being a dynamic bench scoring machine, but instead he seddleved for retiring....."
Brb killing self.
D-Wade currently shooting 3 free-throws against hapless Orlando team. Hubie with fantastic commentary. I love that guy.
(And of course as soon as I type this, we FINALLY see someone other than Vinsanity put up a jump shot, AND Dwight Howard goes to the stripe. My timing is always impeccable.)
Also there has only been five minutes played and Nocoini already has made 3 three-pointers.
Well that is the Knicks. When your favorite team has lost four straight(Kings), they can play the Knicks and make themselves feel better.
49er16 -- Good analogy, I like it.
And yeah, the Knick are bawful beyond imagining. LeBron will never, ever, EVER sign with this team, no matter how much money and how many endorsements they can offer. Won't happen. Nuh uh, no way.
Nash: "[The Grizzlies] wanted to stop our penetration..."
Amar''''''''''e: "I was taking what the defense was giving me."
In other news, Rob-Lo is finally set to make his season debut Friday night. Which is great, because his ludicrous hair looks even more ludicrous when paired with a three-piece suit.

Another horrific night on offense for Chris Duhon(notes) (4 points, 2-of-9 shooting). Over his past nine games, he's averaged just 4.2 points on 19-percent (!) shooting and made just five of 30 attempts from three (17%).
Is this the same guy that was/is going to be the next Steve Nash?
Dirk Nowitzki also had 25 points, but it was Thomas and Terry clearly had a nice rhythm going between them.
“If he was white, he’d be Dirk,’’ Terry said of Thomas.
Before Terry could explain what he meant, Nowitzki chirped up: “That dunk he had definitely wasn’t white.’’
Preveen -- I'm from the South. We're all about our sweet tea down here. Take one cup of water, add a couple large teabags, microwave for two or two and a half minutes. Let it steep for another minute or two while you fill a large pitcher with water, add sugar, stir everything together. There you go. An entire pitcher of sweet tea in just minutes.
Awesome.
Hopefully you can witness home-team booing the likes of never have been seen before.
