Video: Jordan Hill Talkin' About What He Does
About 99 seconds worth or a little bit less than that of Jordan Hill's favorite catchphrase. Also great to see the different variations of Jordan's hairlocks. My personal faves are at 44 and 58 seconds.

Wow:
So in case you forgot, Damian Lillard is a second year point guard whose predraft comparisons were to Norris Cole. I'm sure the Blazers are glad he's a lot different than Norris Cole cause I don't think Cole would have pulled off that puckered mean mug or knocked down that 27 footer.
So Quincy Acy looks like he may be related to Reggie Evans and jumps like a bearded kangaroo.
If you weren't impressed by how aerodynamic Acy and his beard are, check out the block he had on Cody Zellar
Too Bad:
Demarcus Cousins had the most points, rebounds and assists (30-17-6) of any player in the Kings vs. Bobcats game, but it wasn't enough as the Kings lost by 8.
Almost a Triple-Double
Russell Westbrook missed it by 2 assists and 2 turnovers as the Thunder beat the Nuggets by 12.

Pau scored 21 points playing against his brother's team but his brother wasn't playing. The Lakers played a team that has suffered a whole lot of injuries this season in the Grizzlies as well and Kobe had 21 points but he had a scary moment with twisting his knee in the second half.
Almost a Ig-WHOA-dala Moment
Andre played in his first game back from his hamstring injury and he almost pulled an NBA Street combo move but Jason Smith's wrist kinda got in the way. Still a cool highlight and so so glad Iggy's back.
Other: Marc Gasol is off crutches so it seems...pretty cool Warriors promotion for the All-star game involving kids dressed as current players..Five reasons according to the Suns.com guys why we should be excited for the Suns game against the Spurs this week.

Video: Hawks Guessin' Capital of Teammate's Home Country
So I obviously fancy myself to be somewhat of a NBA nerd but I didn't read the description for this video so I initially had no idea why the Hawks were guessin' the capital of a country I only heard of back in 9th grade world history class.
Then I got to the end of the video and I found out the reason was that the Hawks have a player of Macedonian nationality. the really scary-looking power forward/center sitting on the end of their bench, Pero Antic.
Antic looks like a top five most frightening guy in the league or at least most frightening Atlanta Hawk since Ivan Johnson. He's also a proven winner according to his wikipedia page, as he's won championships in Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Russia.
Based on the responses given in the video by his teammates, it doesn't seem like the guys have gotten to know ole Pero's home country or they just aren't fans of small Greek Republics.
I'd like to imagine the Antic is so intimidating that his teammates are afraid to ask him about his personal life, ask about his really painfully looking chest tattoo, or look him in the eye.
Take a look at these humorous responses yourself and wonder if Antic could be even scarier when he hears Demarre Carroll's response.

Way to Go:
Josh Smith and the Pistons, as they were the first to beat the Pacers on their homecourt.
Second game in a row for j.smith in which he had 30+ and 7 rebounds. A better game tonight because he scored one less point on 12 less than shots than he did the previous game and his only block was this huuuuuuuge one in the final minute of the game.
A job well done to Joe Johnson as he went BIZERK, knocking down 10 threes for 37 points. 29 of those points was in the 42 point 3rd quarter that the Nets had in beating the 76ers. For the record, Johnson's huge night also helped the Nets set a team record in making 21 threes in a game.
His first game back in almost a month. Bradley Beal's right leg looked fine in helping him soar up for this game-winning drive to the basket against the Knicks.
Nice night for Lebron aside from what looked like a minor ankle injury in the 2nd half as he went for 30-9-9. That would have been tops for points, boards and assists for anyone that played in the Jazz vs Heat game except bench guy Alec Burks outscored Bron with 31 points.
Clippers are the 10th team to get the belt this season after taking it from the Spurs with the 23-point win.
If You Want to Set A Record for 3's Made In A Game as A Team
Play the Sixers. Its been two nights in a row that the team that is playing the 76ers ties the record of 21 three pointers. The Nets play the Sixers again in Philadelphia on Friday so I suspect a little tighter defense on the perimeter by those Sixers.

A Famous Person:
Paul Mccartney lookin' a little dissapointed at not catching a free shirt.
Disheartening:
A half court prayer that is answered, except that its not quite enough. A description of what happened for the Bulls last night against the Magic and sadly not even the worse loss the Bulls have suffered this season.
2 Points
Taj Gibson only had two points and it was this ferocious one. Two points is two points though and since the Bulls lost by 1, had Taj Gibson made a three, the Bulls could have gone into overtime. So sometimes a ferocious dunk like this can't be enjoyed quite as much as we would like.
