Noteworthy: 12/1/2013

New Definition?
Gettin Mosgov'd should probably not have the same meaning if Timofy keeps blocking dunk attempts like this.

Really Close to Goal Tending
But that's probably what makes this Wes Johnson block so nice.  He basically caught the ball  at the top of its flight or a teeny bit on the way down.


Really good games for Mosgov as he had 16 and 15 off the bench while Wes Johnson played extended minutes in place of Pau Gasol who injured his right ankle.  Lakers kept it close but lost at Staples to the Trailblazers after making a commendable comeback in the second half.

Dang it:
Anthony Davis has been playing at an all-universe level, but he fractured his humogous left hand last night, so he'll probably be out for a couple weeks.  

Oh My Gosh Chris Bosh
Heat beat the Bobcats, but it took a huge comeback in the 4th quarter including Chris Bosh hitting 3 three-pointers in a row.  Yes you heard that right, Chris Bosh knocked down the 99th-100th and 101st three pointers in his career in the matter of two minutes.

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH

Beast of the Night
Tie between Kevin Durant's Triple Double (32 pts 10 rebounds 12 assists with 4 steals and 4 blocks) and Andre Drummond's dominant night (31 points 19 rebounds 6 steals and 2 blocks).   Accidentality wrote 'beast of the night' instead of 'best' but then realized that's probably accurate as well.

Take Your Pick
Of who had the best shooting night: Ryan Anderson knocking down 7 threes out of 11 or maybe the Splash Brother, Klay Thompson with 8 threes also out of 11. 

OH OK BARGNANI



I'm very impressed because the Knicks started Barg at Center and he responded by scoring 17, grabbing 7 boards (that's a lot if you don't regularly follow Bargnani's box scores), and adding 6 blocks including the one above that led to a Melo Oop.

Other: When you think of guys under..lets say 6'4"..who block a lot of shots, Dwyane Wade is probably one of those guys you assume would be up there in total career blocks.  Last night, Dwade officially put himself at the top of the blocks list for the selective group of those under 6"4".
