I know it was only one game, but I think the Grizzlies’ bench now qualifies as a “bench mob”. Taking a huge deficit and reducing it to four by the end of the game while scoring 40 points in the final quarter is nutso. A game that was garbage time for most of the second…

Russ Smith Career High 16 Points Full Highlights (4/13/2015)
Russ Smith did all of his damage in the fourth quarter of this game. The Grizzlies scored forty for the quarter and turned an embarrassing blowout into an actual contest. I don’t even know how the collection of rookies and scrubs that the Grizzlies played for those twelve minutes managed to score forty, but this…
Read MoreJoel Freeland Career High 16 Points Full Highlights (4/13/2015)
In honor of a new career high composed almost entirely of pure midrange jumpers, I have compiled an exhaustive list of the food that Joel Freeland probably (definitely) eats on a daily basis: -Cheesy Wotsits -Spotted Dick -Crumpets -Pork faggots in gravy -Beef Wellington -Haggis -Trifle -Munchie Boxes Question for discussion: why are British people…
Read MoreClint Capela 10 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (4/13/2015)
Major props go out to Clint Capela for hitting two free throws tonight, preventing him from earning the dubious distinction of having made zero the entire season, out of nearly 20 attempts. Normally I give out only 3 or 4 props at a time. But this time, I’m giving out 7 whole props! That’s right!…
Read MoreMeyers Leonard Career High 24 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (4/13/2015)
Over two years ago, in late March, as the Trailblazers’ disappointing season wound down, Meyers Leonard scored 22 points in an NBA game. “Finally!” came the cry from Portland fans. “It took him a while, but he’s going to be a beast next year, I can feel it!”. They weren’t too sad about being totally…
Read MoreBryce Cotton Career High 21 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (4/13/2015)
Bryce Cotton, Langston Galloway, Meyers Leonard, Arinze Onuaku, Brian Roberts, Vander Blue, Rudy Gobert, Clint Capela, Jordan Adams, Jack Cooley, Hassan Whiteside, Russ Smith, Gary Harris, and Joel Freeland sat in the otherwise empty television studio. “Where is everybody else? I thought everyone who was playing tonight was invited to be in the studio audience…
Read MoreHassan Whiteside Career High 24 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (4/13/2015)
Imagine how good he would be if his name was Hassan Blackside! HAHAHAHA! WOOOOOOOO! Sorry. How much better can Hassan get, anyway? He’s so good right now, I’m finding it hard to see areas for improvement. He could start hitting free throws, maybe. Or add a midrange jumper game so he can pretend to be…
Read MoreRudy Gobert Career High 20 Points/17 Rebounds Full Highlights (4/13/2015)
You’re 7 foot nothin’, 200 and nothin’, and you have barely a speck of athletic ability. And you hung in there with the best professional basketball players in the land for 2 years. And you’re gonna walk outta here with a degree from the University of the Utah Jazz. In this life, you don’t have…
Read MoreLangston Galloway Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (4/13/2015)
Langston Galloway and Jahlil Okafor: the next Kobe and Shaq? Short answer: yes. Long answer: hell yes. The only difference is that Langston is actually good as a rookie, unlike Kobe, who couldn’t even manage 26 in a single game during his inaugural season. Other than that, though, the similarities are eerie. Shaq may be…
Read MoreNikola Mirotic 26 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (4/13/2015)
This is why we don’t hand out the end-of-season awards based on one good month near the end of the season. Nikola Mirotic killed it in March, scoring tons of points and inviting people to say things like “He contributes to a winning team, what has Andrew Wiggins done? Nikola should be Rookie of the…
