Peace on Earth, good will towards man, and forget the losses of yesterday — especially if they come against the worst team in an entire conference. Actually, with the Raptors’ help last night, the Mavericks are now just a half-game from being the third worst team in the league, so, uh, kudos to them. We here in Toronto are freezing, and we are not happy.
Another team that, until recently, also wasn’t particularly happy was (were?) the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite putting Russell Westbrook, Paul George, and Carmelo Anthony on the same team, they’d mostly been humming along at or below .
