Another Look at Kemba Walker's Game Winner



Might possibly be the most lol-worthy photo of a game-winner so far this season.  Had about 5 different photoshop ideas for this one, but for tonight, it seemed enough just to show y'all the original photo.  At least for tonight.

Two Awesome Christmas-Themed Videos involving Nuggets

Here are two silly and kinda holiday-themed videos.  They are pretty perfect for it being exactly one week until Christmas.



Never seen any proof, but I'm not so sure that Nate Robinson doesn't actually do these smooth moves in the locker room.  In fact, I bet the Nuggets media guys caught a glimpse of Nate pirouetting his way out of the showers and thought:

"what a great idea, let's make an elf video of the players so we can see how it would look if everyone moved like Nate".

On that thought, I actually think that this video would have been more entertaining if they had asked Nate, Timmy Mosgov, and Randy Foye to actually dress up in suspendered elf outfits and record themselves doing these moves.

Then there's this one:



Just in case you thought they left out the other Nuggets, you can see that they were saving Gallinari and the rest of the Nuggets for this late 90's remix.

7 Days Until Christmas Y'all!

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.
