Back to the grind. Let's do this.

Worst of the Night in Pictures:


Nationally Televised Games:

Grizzlies at Nyets, NBA TV, 7:30pm: You know times are tough in New Jersey when they're excited about the prospect of getting DeShawn Stevenson back on the court soon.

Trail Blazers at Warriors, ESPN, 10:00pm: The Blazers have to be livid about giving up 124 points to the Generals last night and being thoroughly embarrassed. This game should be more intense than a Mark Gormley song.


All The Other Games:

76ers at Magic, 7:00pm: Okay, I am just going to quote the STATS LLC game preview word for word here, because I simply can't make this any better than it already is. Behold:

[Dwight] Howard drew headlines following Saturday's 99-94 win in Milwaukee, telling Fox Sports Wisconsin that he wants to be the closer for Orlando (18-11) and that coach Stan Van Gundy needs to have confidence in him to finish off opponents.

It seemed like a somewhat odd request considering Howard is hoping to be traded. Not helping his case is his 49.4 percent mark from the free-throw line, which would be 19th-worst all-time for a full season.

Spurs at Craptors, 7:00pm: The Spurs are on their longest winning streak of the season. Take that, Rodeo Trip!

Pistons at Celtics, 7:30pm: The Celtics have finally started to play some good basketball. So of course they are fighting injuries with Garnett, Bass, O'Neal, AND Pietrus. That being said, wasn't it pretty much a lock that this team would have SOME kind of injury problems this year?

Pacers at Cavaliers, 7:30pm: Kyrie Irving's back! Which leads to an Unintentionally Dirty Quote Machine moment from Ramon Sessions talking about Irving in practice: "Young fella looked good."

Kings at Knicks, 7:30pm: Per Metta World Peace, "The only issue I have with Jeremy Lin is he should switch to METTAsoft word instead of LINdows....." I believe I speak for all of us when I say... I'm sorry, what??

Also, this is the best photoshop you will see all day.

Thunder at Rockets, 8:00pm: Kevin Martin is the Rockets' leading scorer, but has only averaged 7.3 points over his last six games. That's an awfully deep discount on the Blue Light Special!

Hornets at Bucks, 8:00pm: You guys! This is the best new Twitter account out there: DrewGooden4MVP. Case in point, just look at this gem: "For all you single people out there on Valentine's Day just remember one thing, Drew Gooden loves you. #drewgooden #gooden4mvp #fearthedeer"

Bobcraps at Timberwolves, 8:00pm: I hate to say anything to potentially stat curse it, but I am tired of being quiet about it. Are we on the verge of an historically bawful season? The Bobcraps are just stupendously terrible, folks.

Nuggets at Mavericks, 8:30pm: Nene AND Timofey Mozgov might both be out for this game. Get ready for the Mavs to pull down a lot of boards.

Hawks at Suns, 9:00pm: Well, I guess it'd be hard for the Suns to shoot much worse than they did last night. So there's nowhere to go but up. That's something!

Wizards Generals at Clippers, 10:30pm: (Sorry, can't preview. Still in shock from the Generals winning consecutive road games...)
