Your favorite inconsistent NBA post is back from last year! I never really had a full grasp on how to do this blog, but I think I have figured it out. There will be similar elements from Bucks Buzz, but in reality, it will be its own post on Wednesday (Or Thursday). I do not really have a time for when it will be up but there will be all sorts of random shit I happen to come across on the Internet plus some thoughts about the week that was.
Players of the WeekKevin Love - I am fairly confident this is the second POW award for Love this season on the Roundball wrap-up. He had some big games last weekend and this week deserving the honor as he is averaging 30.3 points per game and 13.6 rebounds per game plus making 47 percent of the 3-point shots. Love is on straight fire. He had a great game in a losing effort against San Antonio where he had 42 points, 14 rebounds and made seven threes. For the month of December in the games he played in, only once has Love pulled in less than 10 rebounds per game, and that number was nine. He is a deserving All-Star without question and probably should be starting for the Western Conference this year if he stays healthy. What's awesome is he's been at full strength almost the whole year which is different than years past.
Damien Lillard - What a week for this guy? He had not one but two buzzer-beaters on the road as Portland is out east for a four-game road trip where they could sweep it if they beat Minnesota tonight. Lillard beat both Detroit and Cleveland. In last night's game, Lillard had 36 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds which was the pinnacle of his games this week and honestly, he did not have the best week yet still gets the honors for his buzzer-beaters. Lillard is showing no signs whatsoever of a sophomore slump. None. Zero Zlitch. He is here to stay for a long time. On to the buzzer-beaters....
'I am not mad, I am disappointed' Player of the Week
Dion Waiters - For the second time, Dion Waters had to deny trade rumors. Dude, just say you want to be dealt and be done with it. They should just give Waiters to Houston for Omer Asik and call it a day. I mean there would be other people who need to be involved yet Waiters coming off the bench for Houston would be awesome. Or deal him to Chicago for Luol Deng. I find it hard to believe Waiters and Kyrie Irving have these many issues so early is shocking. Back to Houston for a second, Waiters was a great 6th man for Syracuse in college. I do not know if he will figure out off the bench, but it could be an encouraging thing.
Team of the Week
Phoenix Suns - I never saw this coming at all. Phoenix is 14-9 with a five-game winning streak currently including a win against Golden State on Sunday. They play San Antonio tonight meaning the streak could come to an end tonight, but without Tony Parker, their guards will be able to do some things. Eric Bledsoe and Goran Dragic's chemistry is much better than anyone expected. People thought Dragic was gone by the end of the year, and now, it looks like this team could contend for a low playoff spot. Another big thing for Phoenix is how they have six double-digit scorers on their team right now. Jeff Hornacek is doing some big things for them.
Team of the Weak
Philadelphia 76ers - AND WE ARE COMING TO YOUR TANKING!! Philadelphia finally has come down to earth in the last week as they have lost their last seven and also 11 of their last 12 games. Michael Carter-Williams is banged up right now meaning this team is completely awful. Sixers are slowly but surely joining Orlando and Milwaukee for the tank. We all expected it but their bad play took awhile to get here.

Amar'e Stoudemire - Now there is discussion on Amar'e's knee and the health of it. New York says he is going to be out until the end of December but Amar'e says he is fine and everything is all good to go. Actually Stoudemire was looking better than expected in the last couple of days. Given what we have heard from the New York media is it seems like it has been an overreaction by the coaches meaning STAT could be back on Saturday. Gotta love New York.

Roy Hibbert put icy hot on his balls which is an unfortunate thing to do.
Nikola Pekovic tried to run a fast break and it went about how well as it did when I played point guard in garbage time. (H/T @cjzero)
After Tony Romo choked again on Sunday, Atlanta Hawks had a great troll tweet

If Tony Romo needs advice in late-game situations, we know a guy he can call... pic.twitter.com/VrfP2NovAm
