Chris Bosh bagged the Nuggets with 40 points and 7 rebounds in the Heat victory. Our beloved James Harden has been dethroned, only scoring 24 points tonight.
Board Monster: Anderson Varejao's hair caught 17 balls that missed the rim.
Butter Fingers: James Harden, Monta Ellis, Shawn Marion, Tony Parker, Stephen Curry, Andre Iguodala, Isiah Thomas and Kyle Lowry all lost 5 basketballs today.
Rookie Watch:
Damian Lillard is not playing like a rookie, scoring 20 points and 9 assists, making him and Oscar Robertson are only players in NBA history with at least 20 points and 7 dimes in their first 3 games. And he becomes the first NBA player to score at least 20 points in each of his first three career games since Grant Hill in 1994. (Via @TrailBlazersPR)
Time Machine User: Paul Pierce dropped 27 and grabbed 7 boards in a victory against the young Washington Wizards.

Free Basketball:
The Portland Blazers beat the Houston Rockets 95 to 85 in overtime.

Puzzled Commentator: He really didn't want Blake Griffin to take that jumper.
Unfitting Mascot in Brooklyn: Presenting the Brooklyn Knight, even I can't make fun of this, it is already a joke in it self. I am just guessing they ran out of ideas and just took the team name from Like Mike. (Via @YouBigDummy) Looking like an evil power ranger.
Blake Griffin Face of the night: That is quite a surprise face, thank you NBA.com.
Quote of the night:
From @JMcDonald_SAEN: Manu proclaims himself "very happy" to be back on floor, then corrects himself: "Wait ... happy is not a word anymore." This is how you discipline players, Coach Pop knows what he is doing.
Highlight of the night:
Kyrie Irving played the Bulls tonight, so he did a Derrick Rose-y lay up remind them of the pain.
Brandon Jennings with his best Derek Fisher impression.
Oh no! LeBron passed up another game winning opportunity, but this time he got it to the guy with the long resume.
