According to the Nets commentators, this is not one of the better games we have seen Caris LeVert play. Ignoring the blatant and slanderous shade being thrown on this promising young player, let’s look at the facts: -More points is better than fewer points. -20 points is the third most points he has ever scored….

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 27 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2018)
I don’t feel like I’ve heard enough from the media that Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was frickin’ INCARCERATED for a whole month, not incarcerated so hard that he couldn’t play in Lakers home games, but so incarcerated that he couldn’t legally leave the state of California. I would think that would be the perfect thing to accentuate…
Read MoreDillon Brooks 19 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2018)
With this 19-point performance, Dillon Brooks has officially avoided the dreaded “MCW-itis” the disorder where you peak in your first NBA game and everything goes downhill from there. Brooks’ 19-point and a bunch of other stats performance in his debut caught me totally off guard, but was quickly revealed to be an aberration of the…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 23 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2018)
At last! With his 19th 20-point game of his rookie season, Donovan Mitchell has finally passed Karl Malone in the ridiculously arbitrary and completely un-notable “most 20-point games for a Jazz rookie” category. Now the Jazz commentators can finally stop talking about it! Like we even needed some BS “record” to tell us how good…
Read MoreMarvin Williams 21 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2018)
Marvin Williams is an interesting case study in what exactly constitutes a “bust”. If you’re not aware, and you really should be, he was the 2nd overall pick in 2005. He basically has averaged 10/5/1 for his career and has generally been a net positive on the court that whole time. A fine player, but…
Read MoreFrank Ntilikina 10 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/15/2018)
Frank “Tiliki Torch” Ntilikina has already developed a rapport with Kristaps Porzingis, but what about the other Knicks players? If there is a rapport developed with, say, Doug McDermott, I haven’t detected it yet. I guess it doesn’t matter in the end because Ntilikina/Porzingis is basically the core (add Hardaway if you want) moving forward…
Read MoreDelon Wright 20 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2018)
One thing I’ve noticed about Delon Wright is that his eyes get super shiny whenever he plays decent minutes. You know how in cartoons sometimes character’s eyes have those big white spots drawn on them that are totally unrealistic? That’s Wright in real life. I don’t know, it’s just something I noticed. I also noticed…
Read MoreMichael Beasley 23 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2018)
It’s time for Michael Beasley to start thinking about his next contract. He didn’t end up getting paid all the much after his stint with the Bucks, but maybe his current successes with the Knicks will earn him a little more dough. If not, he really needs to find a new agent. Not saying that…
Read MoreJustin Holiday 25 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/15/2018)
Justin Holiday smiles too much. Why is he smiling all the time? Basketball is fun, yeah, I get that, but he’s a professional. Professionals in the NBA don’t smile. There is no joy for them. This is their job, it’s not just a game anymore. Is hitting a three worth smiling about? No. Your teammates…
Read MoreT.J. McConnell 18 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/15/2018)
Beef status: officially beefed to the MAX between T.J. McConnell and DeMar DeRozan. We are talking ultimate beefage being beefed right now between these two superstar guards. I don’t know what the ultimate source of the beef is or was, but I do know that these guys are living the beefy life and relishing every…
