Marco Belinelli is a warrior with a heart of steel. Early in tonight’s game against the Pacers, he landed on Orlando Johnson’s (scrubby) foot after taking a three. Not only did he make the shot, he made the ensuing free throw as well on a bum ankle. He then returned to the game to score…

Chris Bosh 28 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2013)
Chris Bosh is a pretty weird dude. So I’m coming back from the store, I just needed to pick up milk and some Totino’s pizza rolls (damn those things are good). I’m walking back down to my place and I see Chris Bosh just standing there on the other side of the street. He has…
Read MoreEarl Clark 17 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2013)
Earl Clark has been something of a revelation for the Lakers. Stuck to the end of the bench at the beginning of the year, he came to life in early January and has played decently since. This is all a surprise to most people, because Earl Clark has been pretty much crap since coming into…
Read MoreJohn Wall 21 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (2/2/2013)
Quick quiz: out of the top six picks in the 2010 draft, which one is NOT a bust? a) John Wall b) Evan Turner c) Derrick Favors d) Wesley Johnson e) DeMarcus Cousins f) Ekpe Udoh g) None of the above – they are all huge busts If you answered (g), I don’t blame you….
Read MoreMickael Gelabale 11 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2013)
Mickael “I have the ball” Gelabale has been pretty good for the Timberwolves this year. Not a world beater, but he’s a nice role-player. He supports my hypothesis that there is a lot of untapped talent in the Eurozone. How can some random dude from Lithuania be any worse than Jason Collins?
Read MoreDante Cunningham 18 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2013)
Dante “Crafty Pork” Cunningham was having a good night. He had just taken nine field goals in a game versus the Hornets, but not only that, he didn’t miss a single one. Not one. So sitting by himself in the little Moroccan restaurant near his place, enjoying a masterfully prepared plate of couscous, he was…
Read MoreAmar’e Stoudemire 21 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2013)
Remember how much of a beast Am’ar’e Sto’udemir’e was back in Phoenix? A totally unstoppable scoring machine. It’s really too bad that he has exploding knees and his back is just a collection of loose vertebrae floating around in the sludge that used to be his spinal cord. His long list of ailments makes his…
Read MoreMarreese Speights 21 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2013)
Marreese Speights has a lot of attributes. Tall. Muscular. Black. Florida-born.”Ability to take over games in the 4th quarter” is, however, not one of the attributes I thought he possessed. How wrong I was.
Read MoreSteve Novak 15 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/2/2013)
There are a lot of NBA players who I call as “box-score allstars”. They put up lots of pretty looking stats, but their impact on the game is minimal or even negative. Someone like Drew Gooden or Carlos Boozer. Steve Novak is like the opposite of that. He doesn’t put up anything in the box-score….
Read MoreTayshaun Prince 14 Points (Grizzlies Debut) Full Highlights (2/1/2013)
“Hey Tayshaun, we need to talk.” It was Mike Conley. “Why don’t you come with me to the weight room.” Tayshaun drained a last three-pointer before following Mike out of the gym. He walked into the weight room and saw Austin Daye sitting on the bench press, with the rest of his new Grizzlies teammates…
