Happy Holidays everybody! Hope everyone got what they wanted for Christmas, ate some good home cooking, and drank away any holiday blues (Except you, Moose, your too young). Basketball wise, I couldn't have asked for a better ending to the week. Just like a good hollywood blockbuster, right when fans where on the edge of their seats fearing the worst for their favorite character, the Lakers went into superhero beast mode and righted the ship with wins against the Hornets and the 19 straight win Celtics. Who apparently didn't want the Lakeshow to feel too special about beating them so they went ahead and gave the Warriors a W as well. Luckily the Lakers were able to escape the same fate in Nellieville last night as they had a balanced outing offensively with six players scoring double figures and were a Luke Walton free throw away from making it lucky number seven. Even the Monkey King got a bucket! Bananas for everyone! But the story of the night was D-Fish and the Magical Headband.
Derek Fisher apparently received a headband with mystical powers for Christmas because last night was the first time I've seen him rockin' one in at least half a decade and he was playing like a 24 yr. old again. Dropping a deadly combination of jumpers, floaters, and bank shots D-Fish used the power of the band to go 9 for 12 last night for 19 points and 5 dimes. Some would say that most D-Leaguers could put up these kind of numbers against the Warriors piss poor defense, but after watching them take down the mighty Celtics earlier this week I'm giving all the credit to the band. So what is exactly does the Magical Headband do and where did it come from? My only guess is that it instills an ungodly amount of offensive confidence into any player who wears it. Unfortunately it does not increase that players talent level which would also lead me to believe that this is the same headband that Smush Parker wore during his time in purple and gold. Yes much like the ring was to Smigel, the headband was to Smush. Lets just hope that Kobe doesn't somehow get a hold of this thing, morph into SuperMamba, and drop a Chamberlain on someone.
In other news, Derrick Rose's up and down play has opened the door for O.J. Mayo to make a run at the R.O.Y. hardware. After breaking Magic's rookie record for consecutive 20pt games to start a career, Octovolvine Jenkins is making a strong case in an excellent rookie class for Freshman of the Year. His combination of speed, athleticism, and a killer jump shots are reminding some people of ^ you know who. Now if he can help string together some wins for his crazy young but talented team, he'll more than likely take the lead. If Mr. Rose can stay away from kitchen cutlery, break through that rookie wall, and get back that consistent swagg he had the first month of the season it's gonna be an exciting race down to the finish. There is even still time for Beasley, Oden and Rudy Fernandez to make a run. I didn't even mention Augustine. Go D.J, That's my D.J.!

Its Smeagol!!
But thanks for the holiday wishes B.
And yes, Hodge could probably beat out half the Knicks and Bobcats roster.
He could start for the OKC team...Westbrook, Hodge, Durant, Green, Collison. Semi-good.
B, fresh piece, love that you added a song lyric into DJ's mention! And I LOVE THAT YOU MENTIONED ORANGE JUICE MAYONNAISE! I've said it all year, OJ is ROY! :) What a thing to wake up to!
Nice references, B. And trust me, I made it into the adult stash . . . What?
Sorry Hursty, My spellcheck is a little racist when it comes to mythical creatures. What did everybody think about the headband? Thanks for the comments guys and Moose, drive slow, homie.
Looks like Eboys been ghosting on this page. There is a vote for Beasley for ROY. :)
it makes sence. The sweat stays out of his eyes, he plays better. No magic. But that was a cute little article. I still think the Nuggets got the perfect story line to knock yall out of the playoffs though. They got swept by yall last year. New team with something to prove agianst the same dudes that embarresed them last year? And they are heavy underdogs? Sounds like a upset in the making.
Your right, BET. The Nuggs and the Jazz are really the only teams that scare me in the West though. Chauncey has really done a remarkable job in Denver. The only problem is that Chauncey doesn't play center or power forward...and Trevor Ariza will hold Melo to under 20 a game.
The Jazz? Boozer is dunzo, he wont be in playing form if he is even their for the playoffs if the Jazz even make the playoffs.

DOUBLE COMMENT
Your forgetting about Paul Millie, Paul Millie, Paul Millie, etc.
He's a young Louisana Millioniare/Snatches boards out da air/Comparisons to Mailman aint fair/Paul Millie, Paul Millie, Paul Millie, etc.
Millsap will get weathered down by having to play heavy minutes, he is acustom to a 6th man role, when he is forced to play 35-40 minutes it will take a tole on him
Dude,he's not Juwan Howard, he's like in his early twenties. He'll be fine.
still, u think somebody not used to doing what he will have to do is gonna be able to do it proficently? I am not sold, but i think it might happen.
also, i just wrote some words, thats why i am logged in. HA
