At this point, seemingly half the NBA is on Twitter. It's a wild world of training updates, questions as to which movies they should go see, and explanations of their Call of Duty prowess. Every so often, though, you also get a picture into the more interesting aspects of NBA life. This feature is your window into that world.

Ron Artest: I have a one suit pajama outfit I'm wearing it to my next game

Brandon Jennings: I don't understand how the NEXT NBA player can hate on the NEXT NBA player. Aren't we all living are dreams.

J.R. Smith: It's hard to explain the mood I'm in. I'm happy cause we won but I'm pissed cause I didn't play! An I know this situation won't get better!

Kevin Durant: This jay z gift and curse is my favorite album ever...got some mean joints on here buddy

Roy Hibbert: Can someone explain to me what happened at the end of Lost. I still don't understand.

At this point in the season, you're probably familiar with Blake Griffin's(notes) near-mythical game. He causes earthquakes with every dunk, leaps mountains in a single bound, and brushes his teeth with conifer trees. There are seemingly no limits to what he can do on the basketball court, which is what makes his future so exciting. We have no idea which great feats we might see every time he sees the floor.

With Eric Gordon(notes) set to miss three weeks with a wrist fracture, Griffin would seem to need to take on an even bigger scoring load. But according to Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro, that might not be possible. From Lisa Dillman in the Los Angeles Times:

"I don't know if we can go to Blake much more than we do already," Clippers Coach Vinny Del Negro said Tuesday.

It's going to take a collective effort, and then some. The loss of Gordon looms large and cast a shadow over an already troubled Clippers season. The shooting guard could be out until after the All-Star break

I used to get migraines every six weeks. In case you've never had one, trust me that it's absolutely miserable, a combination of severely blurred vision, pounding headaches, and a general feeling like you can't do anything at all. The only way I could get rid of them was by taking a nap, and even then I'd be groggy and relatively incapable of substantive work for the rest of the day.

The point here is that it's difficult to imagine how anyone could function if they suffered from regular migraines, because it's hard enough when you get them only occasionally. One of those unfortunate souls is Dwyane Wade(notes), All-World guard for the Miami Heat. After dealing with chronic migraines, Wade now wears special glasses to help.

Except it turns out that not all his teammates have much sympathy. Just listen to LeBron James(notes). From Ethan J. Skolnick on PalmBeachPost.com (via NBA Facts & Rumors):

Wade wore red-rimmed glasses that the Heat has laying around to protect his eyes from the

Maxim Magazine is loved the world over by people who consume four energy drinks a day, horny teenagers not yet old enough to buy Playboy, and middle-aged fathers who steal their sons' magazines. That means the publication usually runs photoshoots of sexy babes promoting unpopular TV shows and movies, not NBA stars.

Leave it to Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh(notes) to change the way Maxim thinks. The viral video enthusiast and "Entourage" guest star is a man of class and excellent taste, one who cares about fashion and the finer things in life. Are you wondering why he's pretending to eat apples and other types of fruit? Then you just don't know what it means to be a cool person in one of America's finest party towns.

This shoot appears to have occurred before the start of the season, and Bosh has some humble words about how the Heat have a long way to go before their champions and basketball players are just regular guys with families. On the other hand, he's also taking part in a

Amir Johnson: And what's up with no #blackactors being nominated at the Oscars? #cmonson ..

Jack McClinton: when is valentines day

Kevin Durant: If I crack a smile out here in Minnesota my lips will bleed....Chap stick won't help! It's too cold for all that

Landry Fields: Laying in bed, does anyone ever think about how crazy Space is? Lol for real though, infinite!? Nerd alert.

Terrence Williams: One of my followers is fine good lawddd lol #wordaapp

The Washington Wizards are supposed to be on the path back towards respectability after the terrible events of the last few seasons. Gilbert Arenas(notes) is now in Orlando, John Wall(notes) is having an excellent rookie season and looking like a future star, and the team seems to have a general plan for moving forward. It will be a long road, but they can see the way back now.

There is at least one boulder in their way, though: Andray Blatche(notes), a man-child forward capable of alternating terrific performances with embarrassing mental lapses. Earlier Tuesday, Blatche did something that stands firmly in the latter category.

After Monday night's loss to the Knicks, Wizards head coach Flip Saunders called Blatche's performance "terrible." I suppose Andray didn't take too kindly to those words, because he responded by calling in to a radio station 106.7 The Fan and sticking up for himself. Some details from Bullets Forever:

He's upset that so many Wizards fans have turned on him.

Many fathers dream of watching their sons play in the NBA, but it's usually a pipe dream. For Mike Dunleavy Sr., though, that hope was more like a strong possibility, both for his son's strong genes and longtime reputation as a top prospect. When Mike Dunleavy Jr. was drafted by the Warriors in 2002, it was a dream come true for both. With the elder Dunleavy's coaching career, there was only a question as to whether the two would ever join up on the same team.

With the father now out of the league and unlikely to get another coaching stint soon, it may never happen. But even if the son had the chance, it doesn't seem like he'd much like to be coached by his dad. From Chris Tomasson at FanHouse:

"Not really," Dunleavy Jr., an Indiana swingman, said Sunday when asked if it's a dream to one day play on an NBA team coached by his dad, Mike Dunleavy Sr. "There could be a lot of issues with it. If it were to happen, you'd make the most of it. But it's not something that I'm trying to do...

One notable thing about game-winning shots is that they eclipse the roughly 48 minutes of play that came before. In the wake of a winning play, the pure joy of victory overcomes any misgivings that may have arisen from the rest of the game. That might not make much sense, logically, but it's sometimes enough to feel like you've escaped.

Last night, the Nets and Grizzlies both avoided disaster against the Cavaliers and Raptors, respectively. In case you forgot, those teams are currently in the midst of epic losing streaks: eight games for Toronto and 17 (!!!!!) for Cleveland. So even though you can look at these games as narrow losses for teams desperately in need of wins, they're more accurately examples of better teams getting their acts together and pulling out the victories.
