The much-anticipated (by our Antipodean friends) Andrew Bogut-Steven Adams matchup has not been as compelling as was hoped. Adams has done his part; his gritty play and resilience in the face (foot) of intense hardship has endeared himself to NBA fans everywhere. Bogut? He hasn’t done much of anything. He gets to start, and then…

Shaun Livingston 16 Points Full Highlights (4/27/2016)
Stephen Curry status: EXPOSED. The Warriors are doing just fine with Shaun Livingston running the show. More than fine, in fact. They’re doing great. He doesn’t take away shots from Klay and Draymond, the real stars on the team. He’s under control and restrained at all times, unlike a certain former MVP who is reckless…
Read MoreBrandon Rush 15 Points Full Highlights (4/27/2016)
Somehow Brandon Rush is still in the league after getting injured in 2012 and then having two really bad seasons after that. I honestly thought he was done after that. Doner than done. Doner than Brandon Roy. Knee injuries are bad news and it looked like his shot was permanently borked because of it. But…
Read MoreAndre Iguodala 22 Points Full Highlights (4/24/2016)
Everyone’s all concerned about Stephen Curry’s knee injury, but did you see what happened just before that? Andre Iguodala went in for a jam, executed the jam successfully, and then landed right on his ass. Hard. He landed hard right on his ass. Ouch! It really looked like it hurt, too, because he didn’t get…
Read MoreShaun Livingston 16 Points Full Highlights (4/21/2016)
Since we already determined that Shaun Livingston deliberately sabotaged Curry’s ankles with a miniature hammer and chisel, is it wrong to blame Livingston for this loss? If we’re being honest with ourselves, there’s no way the Warriors lose this game or any other game if they have Curry available. But Livingston’s hubris has been his…
Read MoreMarreese Speights 22 Points Full Highlights (4/21/2016)
I’ve been holding this one close to my chest. My most audacious and trailblazing nickname creation yet. The time has now come to reveal this new nickname to the world and, in doing so, introduce an entirely new way to refer to Marreese Speights in conversation. “Flying Speighetti Monster” I know, I know. I’m a…
Read MoreShaun Livingston 16 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/18/2016)
Shaun Livingston glanced around the team plane anxiously. It seemed like everybody was asleep, but somebody with their head down with their headphones on could just be trying to focus on the next game. Even if that were the case, there was no better time for Shaun to undertake his plan, here at two in…
Read MoreStephen Curry All 402 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2015-2016 Season Three-ilation Part III)
Stephen sat alone in his study, a few nearby candles providing the only illumination by which to read. A heavy rain poured outside the windows, but Stephen was oblivious to all but the arcane words in front of him. “…The success of the spell depends greatlie upon the cycle of the moone, and upon the…
Read MoreStephen Curry All 402 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2015-2016 Season Three-ilation Part II)
The campus of Oxford University was quiet. In the chilly early-morning air, the only disturbance was the nearly inaudible rustling of Stephen’s clothes as he attempted to find a way into the history building. Stephen squinted up at the rows of windows. One of them had to be left open, somewhere; given the temperature in…
Read MoreStephen Curry All 402 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2015-2016 Season Three-ilation Part I)
“Larry! Larry!” Stephen Curry yelled, running after the Indiana Pacers GM in an isolated hallway of the Pacers’ arena. “Wait up!” But Larry Bird not wait up. Instead, Larry quickly turned left into what appeared to be an even more disused corridor. Stephen sped up, continuing to call the basketball legend’s name. He suspected that…
