https://youtu.be/JFbUvDiXFkE It doesn’t matter too much with only a few weeks left to go in the season, but I think Kelly Olynyk is OFFICIALLY off my channel for now. He’s averaging 18 PPG per game since getting traded to the Rockets, and in my semi-retired state, I need to be strict with my cutoffs. Just…

Kelly Olynyk 25 Points Full Highlights (4/14/2021)
https://youtu.be/-Szw2ggTgyk I’ve spent some time opining on the legend of KOSLE (Kelly Olynyk Summer League Edition), and specifically how KOSLE is getting unleashed to a new degree now that he’s in Houston rather than Miami. Houston just needs competent scorers to keep games moderately competitive (but not scorers who are competent enough to disrupt the…

https://youtu.be/D9pLJ3FRSnk The legend of KOSLE (Kelly Olynyk Summer League Edition) might have died in everybody else’s hearts, but in my heart, the legend lives on forever. I was always a secret believer that KOSLE would emerge once again once Olynyk was in the proper situation, and guess what? I was right. Olynyk is on the…

https://youtu.be/t73XiNgtC-Y DownToBuck is a well-known dismisser of defense. If defense is being played on NBA courts, I don’t really care about it. I acknowledge that defense is an important part of the game, it’s just not something I can force myself to pay attention to. I’m a simple man: I like buckets, and I like…

Kelly Olynyk has now played well in two consecutive games. That is the official threshold for being able to call him “The Klynyk”, so I can type that nickname without being forced by the Internet Police to redact it with a thick black censor bar. Previously, the only applicable nickname for my man Kelly O…

With Bam Adebayo out for this game, the Heat had two options: start Kelly Olynyk, or start Meyers Leonard. There was also a bonus third option, which was to start Udonis Haslem, and also an extra-bonus fourth option, which was to forgo their right to replace Adebayo in the lineup and begin the game with…

Jeff Van Gundy wonders audibly at the end of this video: did Kelly Olynyk outscore the entire Nuggets team by himself in the fourth quarter? (At the point this question was posed, Olynyk had dropped an even twenty points in eleven minutes of fourth-quarter blowout action.) The answer is yes. And no. But mostly yes….

Miami Heat fans have spent most of this season hating on Kelly Olynyk for being a big seven-foot-tall sack of softness. Here’s the thing, though: big soft centers are usually more skilled than their bruising counterparts, so their wimpiness on defense and on the glass is counteracted by their ability to bamboozle the opposing defense…

The incredible redundancy created by having Kelly Olynyk and Meyers Leonard on the same team finally caught up to one of them, as Olynyk has seen his minutes drop precipitously all the way into DNP-CD territory in the last month. He’s seen a bit of an increase the last few games, but even so, his…

How could roster-construction errors of such magnitude be allowed to happen? The amount of redundancy on the Heat roster is astounding. Kelly Olynyk and Meyers Leonard are the SAME player. They are literally, besides being two separate human beings (and one of them being Canadian), the same. Not only is it a waste of a…
