Yes, I know it’s a lame title, but look! Cheerleader!

Line of the Night: The internets are abuzz today and the name on the tip of everyone’s tongue is Anthony Morrow (1.28). Morrow and his band of might Warriors took down the streaking Mavericks as though there were a new deputy in town. Morrow made 6 threes en route to 27 points, adding 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals in the process.

Honorable Mentions: Danny Granger (0.98) was also dialing from distance for dollars last night, connecting on 7 threes and tallying 36 points. Granger matched Morrow’s 9 rebounds and 5 assists, but fell short in steals, and shot only 40% from the floor.

Kevin Durant (0.85) made 11 of his 22 shots, scoring 28 points with 5 boards and 8 assists. The kid could be good.

Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Everyone’s favorite guy with two first names: Jarrett Jack (0.71) finally played like I thought he would when I drafted him far too many times in far too many leagues. Jack made all 7 of his shots (which will probably never happen again, so don’t use that as a factor in your decision to pick him up), and ended up with 18 points, 3 rebounds, and 6 assists.

The Biggest Loser: Deron Williams (-0.41) was really battling it out for the award last night. Elton Brand (-0.40) was a close second with his 4 points in 27 minutes, but Deron brought home the bacon with a near quadruple-double: 10 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, and 7 turnovers. He also missed both of his free throw attempts, and only shot 35% from the field. Jason Kidd anyone?

All Eyez On Me: Before we get to Orlando at Atlanta on Turkey Day, we have to sit through a bunch of good teams playing a bunch of bad teams. Do you think the NBA scheduled it that way on purpose? I mean, the best thing going is Dallas @ Houston. I’m sure the Texans out there are all in a tizzy, but I could, well, I guess I could care less… for example: Denver at Minnesota. There’s a matchup.

The Golden Ticket: Luckily for us fantasy players, Golden State will continue through Texas, stopping San Antonio. Will the Spurs be able to slow talk them into only 90 points?

New York is playing Sacramento, so look out for Knicks and Kings tonight! And Phoenix is playing Memphis, so that should work out well for somebody, right?

And since I still feel bad about the downtime last week (and because I’m moving the site again, and hoping to get in everyone’s good graces in advance): Cheerleader 2!
