K. Smooth WITHERS!!!
Even though he finished with 27-7-7, Kevin Durant was 2-for-8 from the field in the fourth quarter and then 0-for-5 in overtime in the Thunder's loss to Memphis last night. Ol' Business Tats was the first NBA player in five years to miss at least 11 field-goal attempts after the third quarter in a postseason game. Mike Conley, Jr. lead Memphis with 24, and Z-Bo once again dominated down low, getting his to the tune of 23 and 12. Meanwhile, Marc Gasol put up 23 and 11 to go with 6 blocks to lead the Grizzlies.

Z-Bo Feeling Touchy Feely
Z-Bo went Yahtzee last night for 27 points and 11 boards while leading the Grizzlies to their first win of the series in a classic Memphis 94-82 grinder. The highlight of the night came after that pansy, Matt Barnes, dished our a hard foul on Z-Bo, who normally ain't bluffin', but last night decided to take it easy on little Barnesy with a hug and a pound. Notorious tough guy, Chris Paul, tried to start shit after Z-Bo approached Barnes, but Z-Bo could not hear his shit talk while he stood behind his 4 teammates.

Introducing the 2013 Edition of Chuck's Lucky Ducks
(click to enlarge)
In the West's Frontcourt: K. Smooth, Serge Ibaka and Z-Bo. The West's Guards: The Black Mamba and Smooth J and Jeremiah.
In the East's Frontcourt: Melo, The Queen and Anderson Varejao. The East's Guards: Jrue and Raging Rajon.
I'll list my omissions in order.
I had more trouble with the West's Frontcourt group than anywhere else. Notable omissions to this group: Kevin Love (has been hurt, but one of my favorite players, Milk Chocolate) and Blake Griffin (he can fly!! and gave this up). The West's guard omissions were Steph Curry (finally healthy) , Chris Paul (no links, he's a bitch) and OJ Mayo (having a career season).
In the East's Frontcourt, the only person I had trouble leaving out was Joakim Noah because I like keeping Wentz happy. The East's guard omissions were Uncle Drew (seriously!?) and Brandon Jennings (playing for a contract).
I posted the current results to the voting below. It is an absolute JOKE that fucking D. Wade has almost 600,000 more votes than Jrue Holiday. It makes me want to sit on a thumbtack actually. Jrue is playing 38 minutes per game with career highs in points, assists and 3 point % at 18.1, 8.8 and 35.5. Couple that with 1.3 steals per and 4 boards while shooting 45% from the field and it is a crime against humanity that he isn't going to be making his first all-star appearance.
In the West, Dwight Howard has no business even sniffing at a chance for Houston based on this season and if you disagree, you're a moron.
Current totals according to NBA.com:

Top 5 - Bottom 3 (Week 1)
Welcome to the newest weekly feature here at the Club.. the Top 5 & Bottom 3. Each week we will determine the absolute cream of the NBA crop, as well as determine the bottom dwellers raping the other franchises via revenue sharing.
Got beef with our rankings? Let us know what you think. Got serious beef with the rankings? Get the F out da Club. Now without further ado, the best and worst the National Basketball Association has to offer...
Top 5
1. Miami Heat (Record: 16-6)
The defending champs have had minimal bumps thus far in their title defense. Lack of interest in the regular season could be this team's only weakness(other than depth in the frontcourt, but I digress). LeBron & Co. are simply waiting for the postseason to begin to dominate the Eastern Conference with their #1 seed and home court throughout the playoffs.
2. Oklahoma City Thunder (20-4)
The Thunder deserve to be in the number one spot with their stellar play and impressive game of early MVP Kevin Durant. Last year's failures in the NBA Finals still seem more important than records through a 1/4th of this season, thus landing OKC at #2. The NBA Finals rematch on Christmas day against Miami will likely determine next week's top team.
3. Los Angeles Clippers (18-6)
Lob City has come out of the gate very sharp and have put up W's to match their sexy play. While NBA fans love seeing Blake Griffin jump out the building on a regular basis, Vinny Del Negro is doing something right with his roster and has put together an impressive 10 game winning streak. The Clips are currently reigning supreme in the Staples Center and are very much a contender for the title.
4. Memphis Grizzlies (16-6)
The Griz are the surprise of the NBA right now and are playing similarly to their playoff run two seasons ago. Z-Bo is quietly putting up MVP numbers for his squad, averaging 17 points and almost 13 rebounds a game (good for 2nd best in the NBA). Rudy Gay, the other Gasol, and Mike Conley round out a core group of players that could challenge in the West.
5. New York Knicks (18-6)
As a 76ers fan, it pains me to put the Knickerbockers in the top five. Their play and stratospheric shooting numbers (averaging 12 three's made per game, by far best in the league) have the island of Manhattan excited about the Knicks chances for the first time in a long time. The imminent return of Amar'e will disrupt the teams rhythm and the inevitable decline in shooting % will doom the team.. but for now Knicks fans enjoy the VIP, the champagne, and being labeled as one of the best in the Club.
Bottom 3
1. Washington Wizards (Record: 3-19)
The Wiz kids currently sit in the cellar with only three wins approaching Christmas. Injuries to stars John Wall and Nene certainly haven't helped this helpless franchise, but a winning percent of .136 is inexcusable. Washington has started 11 different players already this season, with neither Wall or Nene being one of them. Eleven!
2. Charlotte Bobcats (7-17)
The doormat of the association since 2004, Charlotte's NBA team is so bad most people think they still have a different animal as a mascot. The Hornets, er, Bobcats, started the season strong with seven wins, but are winless since beating the Wizards in OT around Thanksgiving. The Bobcats are currently caught in a losing streak of 12 games, making them an easy choice for the bottom three. Twelve!
3. Phoenix Suns (10-15)
While teams like New Orleans and Cleveland have much worse records than the Suns, those teams can at least attribute poor play to injuries to stars (i.e. Uncle Drew's broken hand, the Unibrow's busted ankle). The Suns lack star power, unless Marcin Gortat arouses you, and the majority of their wins are against the trash of the NBA. The Suns wins include Cleveland (twice), Detroit, Charlotte, New Oreleans, etc. The Suns, like all NBA teams, are permitted to have 13 players on their active roster. Thirteen!

Poppa Perk v. Z-Bo
So last night the surprising Memphis Grizzlies handled the OKC Thunder even as K. Smoove went for his season high in points. The highlight of the game came with 2:09 left when Z-Bo told Poppa Perk he was going to "beat his ass" (0:06 in the video below) and both were ejected.
I don't know why Poppa Perk is trying to sabotage my fantasy team. Maybe he is still upset at my constant ragging of Russ Russ, maybe he is still emotionally distraught about the loss of Smooth J and Jeremiah, but there is no reason to bait Z-Bo, my double double machine, into threatening to beat his ass. It's just not right, Perk. Why would you do that to me? I loved you, man. If the DeMarcus Cousins off court altercation set any kind of precedent, I'll be losing by boi, Z-Bo, for a couple games at the end of the week. Granted, Cousins has a history of stupidity and his confrontation was not with a player, rather an announcer, but I'd still imagine Dictator Stern will react swiftly and harshly.
The ejections led to a (alleged) square off outside of the teams locker rooms that Z-Bo commented on after the game.
Update: As I earlier hypothesized, it was Poppa Perk who baited Z-Bo into the "I'll beat your ass" comment with his preceding comment, "I'll meet you by the bus".
