Al Jefferson Career High 40 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2013)

Time machines are fun. To celebrate Al Jefferson’s 40 point game, I revved mine up and set the chronometer to about a decade ago. The location I set to Prentiss, Mississippi. Luckily my newer model has patented TerraLocation technology, so I don’t have to worry about orbits and solar movements and such. Anyway, I had…

Josh McRoberts 17 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2013)

Josh “Don’t call me McBobs because I don’t really like that nickname” McRoberts is one of the league’s more anonymous players. I don’t know that much about him. He’s a pretty good dunker. Has a jumpshot. White. Looks like he’s gonna cry all the time. A pretty good player, maybe. If you watch these highlights,…

David West 26 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2013)

David West is a nice player. He plays pretty good defense, though he likes to play the “tough guy” role a little too vigorously. He has a smooth jumper and some good post moves. One thing he doesn’t have, however, is fans. I’m a fan of his, so when I heard that David West would…

Rashard Lewis 17 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2013)

Last season with the Wizards, Rashard Lewis got paid 21 million dollars to put up eight points per game on sub-40% shooting and sub-30% from deep. So as a thank you to the franchise that took on his bloated, crushing contract, he dropped a season-high 17 on them. For the benefit of the American contingent…

Shane Battier 15 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (4/10/2013)

Every time someone on the Heat makes a three you can expect to hear the same thing: “Kaboom” Screw you Eric Reid, the point of a catchphrase is that it doesn’t get overused. You have to save it for a particularly deep or clutch three. You can’t just say it every single time.

AJ Price 23 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (4/10/2013)

AJ Price of the Wizards just scored 23 points. That’s pretty cool. A season-high, in fact. But hold your applause! In the 32 minutes that AJ Price played, he failed to get a single assist, even though he’s a point guard. This puts him in some elite company in terms of point-guard ball-hogging this year:…

Doron Lamb Career High 16 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2013)

There is a lot of consternation among Milwaukee Bucks fans that Tobias Harris was traded away for a bunch of garbage and Gustavo Ayon. But there is much less annoyance in the fact that they lost Doron Lamb as well. There’s a reason for this. It’s because Lamb had been pretty much total crap for…

John Henson 17 Points/25 Rebounds/7 Blocks Full Highlights (4/10/2013)

Look at the stat line. JESUS. Those are Olajuwon-esque numbers right there. Surely only a player of elite caliber would be able to dominate a game so thoroughly. Someone like Dwight Howard or Tim Duncan. Or John Henson. Yeah, pretty messed up, isn’t it? You can add this guy to the “dudes who are raw…

Pau Gasol 23 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/10/2013)

“And then he said, ‘I can’t play because my back hurts!’” There was a chorus of laughter. “Shut up everyone! Here he comes!” Pau and his teammates hurriedly quieted their laughter as Dwight sauntered up to the lunch table. “What were you guys laughin’ about?” he asked, suspicion evident in his voice. Kobe said quickly,…

Luke Babbitt 12 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2013)

Luke Babbitt amassed 12 points against the Lakers. You can guess how those points were scored. Really? “5 Dunks, 2 of them and-ones.” What a stupid answer. Come on. The correct answer is “4 Threes”. I really thought that this would be Babbitt’s year. He must have some serious deficiencies in his game, because he…
