Highlight: Russell Westbrook Dunk-up

Totally know how it is when you're powering up the  lower back and glutes for a thunderous jam, but all of a sudden your hand slips on the ps3 controller and you hit the shot button while in the air and you end up laying it up instead of doin' the slamma jamma.  

Thanks for giving us a highlight to relate to, Russ.

Tweet: Dejuan Blair Referring to himself As Old St. Nick

Since my m.o. on twitter is to favorite all third person personal references to fictional characters made by NBA players, I was delighted to see that Mr. Blair agrees with me that he is the most healthily santa-shaped player in the NBA.

Martell Webster

Cause he plays on the Wizards, noone is paying attention. but you should. Last 3 games have featured points of 16-21-10, with an average of 2 3TPM. Plus, someone has to shine in DC while Wall is out.

Kohl's Outlet Sale

Jeremy Pargo

Lots of minutes since Kyrie has been out (averaging 33 Min, since Nov. 21st). Production is still rather low and not warranting a pick up but the Ty Lawson-like potential (28, 5, 5 against the Sixers on 11/21) is definitely there. May want to keep a careful eye on him.

Caron Butler

Not going to be getting a lot of opportunities as the 5th option on the Clipps, but he did have a franchise record in 3PM made on Monday.
