Mr. Bawful has empowered me to try something new here and give you guys a quick preview of all the games going on tonight. This way you'll know what to look for when you're watching the games, and so you'll have a place to comment on the action as it's happening or after it's happened. You know, something to fill in between the Worst Ofs. If you guys like this maybe we'll keep doing it, so let us know what you think in the comments.

Nationally televised games tonight:
Cavs at Wizards - aka "the rivalry that isn't", as Agent Zero looks to Hibachi up some Crabs to get his Wiz their 3rd win in 10 tries. No word on whether Soulja Boy will be in attendance.

Spurs at Mavs - Wasn't San Antonio supposed to be a title contender? Spurs looking for first road win of the year AND looking to climb above .500 at the same time against Dirk and his Digglers.

All the other games:
Warriors at Celtics - Look for Nellie to be drinking heavily before, during and after this one as the Warriors play the bug to Boston's windshield.

Heat at Hawks - This ain't your Daddy's Hawks, and you can tell that just by noticing that Mario West is no longer on the roster. This is also a matchup of the two best teams who have the hardest time drawing a crowd to watch em play. No wonder it's not being televised nationally.

Knicks at Pacers - Every soda fountain and barber shop in Kokomo will be closed early tonight while everyone watches the Knicks go for their tenth loss in eleven games. Or maybe Mike D'Antoni conjures a new Nash out of thin air. You decide.

Thunder at Magic - Two things to look for in this one: the Thunder are actually good and Jason Williams is actually starting for an NBA team.

Bobcats at 76ers - I know what you're thinking: Maurice Speights isn't playing so why bother watching, right? But don't you want to see Capt'n Jack give a clinic in how to play inefficient basketball while Larry Brown goes crazy on the bench? Yeah, me neither.

Nets at Bucks - Brandon Jennings just scored 55 a few days ago and the Nyets have won as many games this year as I have. Might be some fireworks in this one from the guy who's narrowly trailing Blake Griffin in the Rookie of the Year race at this point.

Clippers at Grizzlies - Here it is folks, your Basketbawful Game of the Night. Need I say more?

Rockets at Timberwolves - If Phil Jackson's version of the triangle offense couldn't score against these scrappy Houstonians, what do you think Kurt Rambis' version of it is gonna do?

Raptors at Jazz - Bosh vs. Boozer sounds like it could be fun, but I'm guessing it won't be.

Pistons at Trail Blazers - The Oden Watch continues tonight, though it's doubtful that Ben Wallace is packing the requisite offensive game to get our boy into foul trouble at his usual rate.
