TV has taught us that breaking is bad, but some is good. We're off for the next dozen days, headed to the native lands of Ben Gordon and Tony Parker, respectively, on what we're titling, "The Underpants Tour." Until we return, you'll have to entertain yourselves (keep in mind, it's pathetic for a man to join Pinterest, so just behave normally and re-read the footnotes in The Book of Basketball and continue conducting experiments to determine if Michael Jordan's Flight cologne in its most concentrated form can increase your vertical jump). You could attempt the cinnamon challenge, like noted nitwits JaVale McGee and Nick Young, but for a tastier test, we suggest trying to consume a cookie Dwight Howard-style*.
* Look, Stan Van - no hands!

Making HeadLINes
Here's what you might've missed while watching the Lincomparable Jeremy Lin record a career-high 13 assists in leading the Knicks to their season-best 7th consecutive win:
The Spurs stretched out the league's longest winning streak to nine games, but they understand why the spotlight is shining elsewhere. "There's no bigger story than Jeremy Lin right now. I'm happy for him. [...] You want him to make every shot," said
Tony Parker, who torched Toronto for 34 points and 14 assists. Manu Ginobli, in his third game back after missing a month due to a broken hand, had 11 points and was equally gracious about the Linsation sweeping the nation, "I think New York deserves all the attention [...] They draw attention from me: The New York game finishes and I go to see what they did."
Meanwhile, the Bobcats are playing like a bunch of pussies. The return of D.J. Augustin wasn't enough to prevent Charlotte from falling for the 16th straight time. Paul Silas couldn't even pronounce the name of a player who pushed them around, Nikola Pekovic (he called him "Pep-a-vich" in his post-game comments), who posted 21 points and 11 rebounds. Cat got his tongue, perhaps? The Bobcats haven't won in over a month (their last victory was January 14). Their seasons is officially a catastrophe.
Elsewhere, Kyrie Irving returned from a concussion and scored a game-high 22 as the Cavs beat the Pacers; Kevin Martin recovered from his first scoreless game since his rookie season to pour in 32 points and help the Rockets hang on at home against the Thunder; and Ryan Anderson rained threes, connecting on 7 of 10 attempts, in the Magic's win over the 76ers. Anderson leads the NBA in three-pointers made, yet after the game, crabby coach Stan Van Gundy criticized Anderson for his lack of rebounds.
Lest we forget to Linform you, on Sunday, Lin and the Knicks will appear in a nationally televised game against the defending champion Mavericks on ABC at 1 p.m. If Obama is following him (the President loves a well-executed bailout), you should be too.
