Adam Silver paced behind his desk, running his hands over his head, as if wanting to pull at hair that wasn’t there. An assortment of high-ranking NBA executives sat nervously before him, waiting for the silence to be broken. “Thirteen games. Thirteen games last night,” Silver said in an emotionless, monotone voice. He had stopped…

Thomas Robinson Career High 16 Points Full Highlights (3/24/2015)
Recommended music pairing for this highlight video: “Almain”, composed by Thomas Robinson. This soothing lute tune brings one back to 16th century English countrysides, a perfect compliment to the modern Thomas Robinson devastating his former team. Link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wwOo06MN1A In other news, man, is T-Rob a bust or what? 16 points as a high-water mark…
Read MoreNerlens Noel Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2015)
Nerlens Noel is making a run at the Rookie of the Year award, according to absolutely unbiased sources in Philly. I’m not buying it. Not because he isn’t a good player, or because he isn’t one of the best rookies. It’s just that everyone knows that ROY is an award for whoever scores the most…

There’s a new Star Wars movie coming out, apparently. Like they haven’t finished crapping on the legacy of the first trilogy, am I right? I bring it up because they definitely should have found a role for Nerlens Noel to play. With all the great NBA players dabbling in acting, I feel that Nerlens, with…

Robert Covington sat down next to his Cameroonian teammate. “Luc, we need to have a chat.” The look of alarm in Luc Richard Mbah a Moute’s face was not well-hidden. “Yeah, sure. What’s on your mind?” “You can’t keep giving bad sexual advice to these rookies, man. They don’t know any better. They trust you.”…
Read MoreIsaiah Canaan 20 Points Full Highlights (3/11/2015)
Maybe I’m seeing things, but does Isaiah Canaan sort of look a little fat right now maybe? It might not make a huge difference, given the recent success of fatties like Kyle Lowry and Jared Sullinger, but I’m just wondering. Am I being too critical or is he actually maybe kinda tubby in this video?…
Read MoreIsh Smith Career High 23 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/11/2015)
Both Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins have called Ish Smith the fastest player in the league. Eager for some sweet tidbits like those, I interviewed a few NBA players to get their own thoughts on Ishy Azalea. John Wall: “I’m faster.” Jerami Grant: “He gave me some tips for pleasing my girl. A true homie…
Read MoreIsh Smith 14 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/6/2015)
There’s something about the 76ers where any point guard who goes there can put up numbers. Michael Carter-Williams is the most obvious beneficiary; he won rookie of the year entirely because of the sick numbers he was able to amass while his team bottomed out. Let’s look at some other Sixer PG’s: Ish Smith: You’d…
