Honorable Mention: LeBron James, 30 points (12 of 23 shooting), 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks in the loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Board Monster: Greg Monroe took down 18 boards today in the first Detroit Pistons win of the season. Poor Philadelphia 76ers, not only do they lose to the winless team, they have to deal with Andrew Bynum's hair.
Dishin': A surprise entry from Russell Westbrook, dishing out 13 dimes in the loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Thief: Ray Allen took the basketball away 5 times in the loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Butter Fingers: For some reason, the players that were the best for their team today, Jamal Crawford and Greg Monroe gave the ball up 6 times. Didn't matter because they both won.

Time Machine User: Paul Pierce dropped 23 points in the win over the Utah Jazz.
Hurtin' Tim BUUURR wolves: The Timber wolves have lost a player in each of their last 5 games, they are now down to 8 healthy players on the roster. (There is total of 7 injured on this team, Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio, Brandon Roy, J.J. Barea, Nikola Pekovic, Chase Budinger and now Malcolm Lee).
Rondo-ing: Another 10 assists for the Boston point guard, continuing his streak to 32 games. It might end next game, because Rondo sprained his ankle and his status is not clear for Thursday.
Winless: The Washington Wizards remain as the last team without a victory, their current record is 0-7. Detroit snapped their 8 game losing streak in the win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
