Put on your Snuggie -- it's time for BAD.

And actually, it's almost vacation week for me! I'm out of here after tomorrow night bowling in a tournament in Reno and will be back next week. No, I don't expect to do particularly well, but it'll be a fun vacation. I'm just not looking forward to waiting to see what kind of mood the TSA agent will be when I get to the airport. Hopefully they'll let me bring a couple of my bowling balls on as carry-on luggage to avoid checking them (which costs $50 and puts them at risk of being cracked or damaged). Southwest is fine with it. However, TSA doesn't specifically have any stance on bowling balls, so sometimes they allow it, and sometimes they don't, just depending on the particular TSA agent at the checkpoint. It's a crap shoot. I'm not even going to be in Reno before I have to start gambling!

As noted by AnacondaHL, "It's Monday 2pm EST, you know what that means: MORE NBA JAM VOTING. This week: Lakers, Does voting for Vince Carter mean 2001 Carter, and a hilariously bad list of Wizards"

Worst of the Night in Pictures:

I guess we finally have an explanation for why the Bobcats have owned the Lakers -- the power of Ric Flair. Woo

"C'mon! I've got $5000 on this game!!"

Drew Gooden skips right over the facepalm and goes right for the headpalm

Look, two reanimated corpses hanging out together! Can we go ahead and bury them together? Thanks.

Woah! When did The Great One become The Scary Looking One?

Nationally Televised Games:
Spurs at Crabs: LeBron might sit out this game with a sore ankle. Well, I'm sure that will go well. It's not like he's the only source of offense on the Crabs, right?

*crickets*

All The Other Games:
Hawks at Knicks: For whatever reason, the Bricks have managed to beat Atlanta four of their last five meetings. This somehow makes even less sense than the Bobcats owning the Lakers.

Warriors at Hornets: Both of these teams have lost four straight. However, the Warriors are the Warriors, and Don Nelson is Don Nelson, so I think we can declare the Hornets the favorites in this one.

Mavericks at Timberwolves: The Mavs are on an 11-game winning streak, but are playing their third game in four days with a depleted roster. When your winning streak is in doubt, the Timberpoops are here to save the day!

at Grizzlies: Uh oh. The Grizzlies haven't won at home in five weeks. The Nyets have won three consecutive road games. What the hell is going on here? Memphis, PLEASE restore some sense of normalcy! Keep the dream alive!
