looks like David Lee has been the injury curse's fallboy this year. someone took a bite out of his elbow earlier in the year and then tonight D. Cuz elbows his mouth, causing it to bleed, and unbelievably.... no foul. it takes a special kind of ref to look at you plainly in the face and tell you "no foul" after Lee is showing him a hand full of blood.

as far as the game, I like how the W's play when Monta is a willing playmaker and looks for his teammates. unselfishness is motivating. with the weaker Western Conf, I do think the W's can make the playoffs in '12 if they can add another player with value.
