Hey, I'm Tasnelis, and this is what you need to know in the NBA for Wednesday, January 6th.

The first thing you need to know is the Lakers have moved into their rightful spot

atop the Western Conference standings for the first time this season at six and two.

They are the league's best team, and they have temporarily made me look dumb for taking the

clippers to win the West. Admittedly, they beat up on a banged-up Grizzlies team, but everybody

can play in the NBA. He had Jonas Valanchunus for Memphis being a tree in the post. He

had Kyle Anderson being compared to Boris Dio on the broadcast by Grant Hill. I love that comparison. And unfortunately, you had Dylan Brooks being called too small by LeBron James when he sealed this game. Yeah, LeBron putting his hand to the floor, like six inches from the floor saying, this guy is too small. everybody is doing that in the NBA maybe the kids are

doing it i don't know lebron trying to stay young i get it i'm trying to stay young as well a team that is

definitely staying young the san antonio spurs i love watching this team play they beat the los angeles clippers

who have dropped now to five and three the spurs yeah demart de rosen lamarcus aldridge

the old guys are their pillars but they've told them marcus aldridge hey step out even more this

year you're taking a career high in threes this year because we've got young guys who want to move

towards the rim you've got to give them some space and these young guys are a blast to watch

chelden johnson djante murray lon Lonnie Walker are the starters beside Demar de Rosen and

Lamarcus Aldridge.

In fact, this is the youngest Spurs roster since Greg Popovich took over in 1996 as the head coach.

Yeah, he's been coaching that long.

Spurs average age is 26 and a half.

And Patty Mills Mills off the bench

had a phenomenal game, a career high, eight threes, 27 points for Patty. He came into the season

saying, I'm going to be Fiba, Patty. I've sacrificed for a long time in the NBA, but I'm a better

player than that. That's one reason I took him on my fantasy team.
