Notable Comments
Jake wrote that pairing Nene and Marcin Gortat won't fix anything. I'd say that he was called out soon after the game when the win was all said and done:

Pancakes: Æbleskiver
On Wednesday, we asked something about what pancake mix you're buying when a big snowstorm is expected to hit the D.C. area on Friday through Sunday. Well, one Twitter user suggested a pancake from us:
@BulletsForever um, where is ebelskiver
— Matt Terl (@matt_terl) January 20, 2016
So instead of Paris, Stockholm, Seoul, or Ieper (I'm not saying Brussels because one D.C. pro basketball player's from there), we're going to Copenhagen, Denmark to see what an Æbleskiver (or ebleskiver/aebleskiver) is.
These pancakes are spherical and literally mean apple slices in Danish. They are hot pancakes with a filling inside, which were traditionally cooked with apple pieces or applesauce inside. But today, they're often with many other jam fillings inside.
Here's a recipe from Williams-Sonoma, and a video too:
