Noteworthy: 12/21-22/2013

Good job:

Trevor Ariza with 27 points off of 5 threes in leading the Wiz to a road win over the Celtics.

Dwight Howard with 35 and 19 against Andre Drummond, perhaps, the only big man in the NBA that can match him athletically.  Dwight got the win and the more impressive statline as the Rockets beat the Pistons in Detroit.

Andrew Bogut, after having an 18 board game against the Spurs, grabbed 20 against the Lakers on Saturday in the Warriors dominating home win.

The Bulls who beat the Cavs at home behind double figures from 6 different players.  With their injury issues, this type of team effort is what the Bulls might need to get wins this season.

That guy Khris Middleton, who  had his second 27 point game this month and the Bucks as they beat the Sixers despite double-doubles from Thad Young and Spencer Hawes.

Another great game from the combo guard lineup of Bledsoe and Dragic as they both had 20+ and they beat the Mavs at home .

Raptors, the whole team, cause they ended the Thunder's undefeated record at home on Sunday night.

This year's king of triple doubles is Lance Stephenson cause he registered another one tonight in the Pacers win over the Celtics.  Plus he did a filthy move to put a Celtic on his backside (see below video)

Alexis Ajinca played in his first NBA game this season on Saturday after being signed as a free agent.  He had 11 boards, which was more than Lamarcus Aldridge and Anthony Davis had in Portland's win over New Orleans.  Good job, newbie Pelican.

Curren NBA Championship belt-holders, the Clippers did not trail once in Saturday's game against the Nugget. Things were closer against the T'wolves tonight.  In fact, the Clippers looked like they had lost the belt when they were down 5 with a minute left to go. The Clippers did not give up, as they kept doing that quick basket and then foul thing until this happened.



If you're going to lose the ball, losing it in the backcourt while double-teamed is pretty much the worst.  Tough minute a half for Kev Martin as he also basically threw an outlet pass to Darren Collison later in overtime.



Jared Dudley hadn't made a three all game up until this point.  So if you're a T'wolves fan, this shot going down must have been a serious "c'mooooon man".

Bad times

The Knicks have the second most losses as the home team with 10 this season.  I didn't watch the game (cause the game was on when I'm usually enjoyin my cereal), but my expectation of another Knicks home loss was correct.

Poor Courtney Lee



Celtics had won 7 in a row against the Wiz, but then that streak was ended when they loss at home to Washington on Saturday.  Then tonight they got dominated when they had to go to Indiana and Courtney Lee fell on his butt trying to stay in front of Lance Stephenson.

Plus, Rondo said he's not gonna be back in January so i'm guessing the Celtics are watching this year's college basketball guys pretty closely.

Pretty well timed block



No Look



Other: Not a surprise to me, but Mike D'antoni says Nick Young's energy, or in his words-'his swagging', is really helping the Lakers...Congrats to Dwade and Gabrielle Union...Javale Mcgee knocking down some threes while wearing those google glasses.
