Highlight: Byron Mullens Reminds Everyone That He Can Dunk Pretty Well

If you were like me and surprised that a seven footer not German or Italian was shooting a three-pointer, than you are definitely like me and haven't been watching Mullens formerly known as BJ currently of the Charlotte Bobcats.

In 16 games, Byron (definitely a downgrade from BJ) has been averaging 1.5 threes for a total of 24 treys in 16 games.  I know shooting 28% from that distance already justifies that someone who is taller than 95% of the people in the league should be throwing the ball through the hoop and not launching threes.  But just in case you weren't convinced that Byron has got some hops like Javale as well as a three point touch like Bargnani, press play.


Kevin Love Playing the Sax and Other Timberwolves Lookin' Creepy

For background, this feature is to market something called a 'coat drive' that Comcast cable, The Salvation Army, and the Timberwolves are hosting from now until December 12th. 

I know we live in California so we have no idea what a 'coat drive' is, but I'm sure you can agree that Love's performance as well as the rest of the t'wolves is hilarious and honorable at the same time.  Even moreso when you consider that the fog machine and JJ Barea's SHHH face is all for a charitable cause.

League Pick'em: Week 6

Happy Week 6 Everyone! 

A rough week of picks as the Nets were the only away team to win out of the Pick 10 in beating the Celtics on their home court.  Everyone still seems to be sleeping on the Warriors as only gmachine picked golden state to beat the Nuggets.  

For the MOTW, k1dk0be took down Clipper Nation, but is still behind CN in the league standings at 3 and 2, respectively.  

Not to be like the Lakers and go backwards in overall efficiency as the season progresses, I am leveraging the google doc forms for entering picks for this week.  Please see the form below. 

 But first, the results from week 5.

Tim Duncan and Tony Parker's Halloween Shenanigans

Sometimes pictures surface online at just the most inappropriate time. Specifically this one which judging by Tim Duncan's Punisher costume and Tony Parker's pirate eyepatch, was taken from the Spurs halloween festivities.

With the sanction of a quarter mill against the Spurs this past week, if the league chooses to NOT additionally throw some ridiculous slap-on-the wrist to TD and TP for pretending to stick up an NBA ref with a shotgun and sword, I'd actually be surprised.

Props to the fella who dressed up as Tims fave ref, Joey Crawford.

Who said the Spurs were a boring team?
