The thought as parents is that when you go from 1 to 2 kids you need to switch from a zone defense to man-to-man, which as anyone who has ever played basketball before knows requires much more physical exerscion. Nearly a month into our version of man-to-man and I can tell you with complete honesty that we have adjusted well to the bathtub pick-n-roll, started calling out all screens by the changing table and have always made sure to help the ball side defender when loading/unloading at the grocery store.
5 Baby Bottles (Watch Those Little Eyes Glaze Over)
Washington Wizards @ Chicago Bulls (8:00 PM)
A rematch of last year’s playoffs when the Wizards surprised us all by knocking out the Bulls in the first round. No surprises this year but it’ll be interesting to see how Chicago responds having dropped 3 of it’s last 4 including one in Washington last week.
Los Angeles Clippers @ Portland Trail Blazers (10:30 PM)
Quite a doubleheader for ESPN. As if they needed the ratings after the bonanza on Monday night when they scored the highest rating ever on cable television.
4 Baby Bottles (Always Keep The Head Tilted Upright)
New Orleans Pelicans @ Detroit Pistons (7:30 PM)
The Pistons are 9-1 in their last 10 games and this Greg Monroe/Andre Drummond vs Anthony Davis/Omer Asik battle for low post supremacy could play out like one of those superheroes movies where the apocalypse is narrowly avoided but at the expense of entire cities being leveled to the ground. Somebody better go ahead and check the foundation at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
3 Baby Bottles (A Quick Swaddle & Rock Will Do The Trick)
Houston Rockets @ Orlando Magic (7:30 PM)
Nikola Vucevic is playing like an all-star.
Atlanta Hawks @ Boston Celtics (8:00 PM)
So is Al “messed around and dropped a triple-double” Horford
Dallas Mavericks @ Denver Nuggets (9:00 PM)
Allen Iverson was right after all. Morning shootarounds are overrated.
2 Baby Bottles (In Between Burps)
San Antonio Spurs @ Charlotte Hornets (7:00 PM)
The Hornets have won 5 games in a row since Lance Stephenson started sitting out with an injured pelvis. If the Hornets lose tonight with Stephenson back in the lineup then it’s officially time for Michael Jordan to call up his buddy Larry Bird.
Memphis Grizzlies @ Brooklyn Nets (7:30 PM)
We get it, Kevin Garnett, other players don’t like Dwight Howard. But the head butting. What is this, soccer?
Philadelphia 76ers @ Toronto Raptors (7:30 PM)
Philly has done that thing where they lower the lights in the arena to give it that edgier look like the Lakers started doing a long time ago. I like it. Gives games a cool theatre vibe.
1 Baby Bottle (Only During An Emergency Diaper Change)
Miami Heat @ Golden State Warriors (10:30 PM)
Dwyane Wade is hurt again and the Heat only scored 78 points last night against the Lakers (albeit a win) in his absence. Needless to say I don’t like their chances tonight in the Bay.
