What’s up with NBA players and not setting the record for most threes made in a game? I mean, every single performance by every single player this year has failed in this respect. And then, when someone finally does get close, they don’t even gun selfishly for the record! CJ Miles should have had no…

Roy Hibbert 19 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (12/31/2013)
2013 has finally left us behind, after 365 days of torment and misery, and in its place is the year 2014, who will doubtlessly be as cruel or crueller than the past year. In the distance I can hear the sounds of resolutions being broken. I for one have already failed in all of my…
Read MoreLuis Scola 18 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2013)
Logging into his new, anonymous Wikipedia account, Luis glanced over his shoulders furtively. The librarians would certainly disapprove of his using the public computers for political purposes. But there were wrongs that needed to be righted, and Luis would be the one to right them. He navigated to Wikipedia’s entry on the Falkland Islands. The…
Read MorePaul George 28 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/7/2013)
Paul George has gone through periods of overrated-ness and underrated-ness throughout his career. He was definitely underrated leading up to the draft because he was picked 10th instead of 1st. Then, he actually played well his rookie year, causing Pacers fans to overrate his potential even though he hadn’t shown all that much. This potential…
Read MoreCJ Watson 18 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/27/2013)
Remember when CJ Watson was good? Don’t lie to me. You don’t remember. CJ Watson was never “good”. He has resided squarely in the state of “okay” for his entire career. He’s probably one of the most anonymous players in the league, except for Bulls fans who wish he would come back and be their…

“Hey Luis, I was wondering if we could talk about something.” “Sure, Roy, what is it?” “Well, I was reading about this on the internet, and I knew I needed your opinion on it. What do you think about the situation surrounding the… Falkland Islands?” Luis froze. “What did you say?” “I was just wondering…

“Paulie, honey, your girlfriend is here,” Paul’s mom yelled from the kitchen. Another shot right through the net. Swish. “Tell her I’m busy.” He lined up another one: nothing but bottom. “But, Paulie, dear, it’s prom night. You gotta take Sarah to the prom, remember?” Paul did remember. But prom wasn’t important. Basketball was important….
Read MoreLance Stephenson 22 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2013)
The tension in the courtroom is palpable. Lance Stephenson fidgets in his seat as he awaits the judgement. Seven of his baby mamas sit in the gallery, some dabbing their eyes with tissues, and some browsing the TMZ website on their phones. Stephenson’s lawyer looks calm and composed in his perfectly tailored suit. The judge…
Read MoreC.J. Miles 22 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2013)
Listening to Austin Carr do commentary is like listening to the chatter of fifteen nursing-home patients watching basketball on the common-room TV. He might understand the game, but nothing that comes out of his mouth makes any sense. If he was a radio commentator, you would not have any idea what was going on in…
Read MoreLance Stephenson 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (10/29/2013)
A new NBA season. The landscape of the league has shifted so. Stars and scrubs alike shuffle themselves into new, heretofore unseen arrangements. The annual influx of starry-eyed and stone-handed rookies who yearn to prove. Yet as much as some things have changed, others stay the same. Like the Pacers. You know, that cool upstart…
