Standing under the scalding water, DeMarcus cleaned himself ponderously. Thoughts were frenziedly hurrying in and out of his brain. Had he just played his last game in Sacramento? Would he like Seattle? Would that cute cheerleader Kelsee continue to cheer for the team, or would he have to leave her behind? He closed his eyes,…

Perry “I’m actually the fourth but who’s counting” Jones III has ended the year on a high note, averaging 14 points a game over his last one. If he can keep up this performance during the playoffs the Thunder will be tough to beat. He is also a reminder of how over-enthusiastic fans get over…

Read MoreHamed Haddadi Career High 14 Points Full Highlights (4/17/2013)
Aside from Joel Pryzbilla, there might not be a less quick player in the NBA than Hamed Haddadi. He kind of shambles around the court, as though no one ever taught him how to move properly and he just figured out himself. If you want a center who can run with the guards in transition,…
Read MoreReggie Jackson Career High 23 Points/5 Assists (4/17/2013)
Thunder: Reggie Jackson. Brings scoring off the bench and is perhaps even more inclined to shoot than Westbrick. Spurs: Gary Neal. Ever since being visited by the spirit of Stephen Jackson, is motivated to shoot a lot and bring Duncan his fifth ring. Nuggets: Evan Fournier. Always brings the flakiest croissants. Clippers: Grant Hill. Never…
Read MoreJohn Henson Career High 28 Points/16 Rebounds (4/17/2013)
How do you know when a player is really good? When the opposing commentators can’t stop talking about him. Of course, the home commentators can never shut up about “potential this” and “upside that” and “blah blah blah hustle”, but the opposing broadcast crew has no bias towards any team except their own. They will…
Read MoreJuwan Howard 12 Points Full Highlights (4/17/2013)
Juwan Howard has been in the league 19 years. 19 YEARS. HOLY CRAP. There are players in the NBA who have been alive for less time than Juwan has been in the NBA. Does that cook your noodle or what? Anyway, he’s pretty useless nowadays, but considering his advanced age, it’s a minor miracle that…
Read MoreMike Miller 21 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/17/2013)
Mike “Oh god my back” Miller is making a case for getting minutes in the playoffs with his excellent last few games. Of course, nothing will ever match the intensity of the reign of terror he brought against the Thunder in the last game of the finals, but a few threes here and there would…
Read MoreJames White Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (4/17/2013)
James White is supposedly a great dunker. But what use is being able to pull off amazing dunks if you’re not actually good enough at actual basketball to be able to execute them? The best dunkers are the ones who can consistently do great jams in game situations, and not just on fast breaks. I…
Read MoreGerald Green Career High 34 Points Full Highlights (4/17/2013)
Gerald Green has been pretty disappointing this season for the Pacers. He had some good dunks early, but lately he’s been left completely out of the rotation. But today was the last day of the regular season, and you know what that means! Scrub city! And Green outscrubbed them all, scoring 34 points. Not only…
