“Sam, that was a good practice. I liked your hustle out there,” Rick Carlisle told his player. “I like seeing you putting in the effort towards improving your help defense.” Samuel Dalembert smiled. “Thanks coach.” “There’s just one thing. The assistants and I agree that you could stand to lose some weight.” Sam sighed. Coach…

Luis Scola 17 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2013)
“Hey Luis, I was wondering if we could talk about something.” “Sure, Roy, what is it?” “Well, I was reading about this on the internet, and I knew I needed your opinion on it. What do you think about the situation surrounding the… Falkland Islands?” Luis froze. “What did you say?” “I was just wondering…
Read MoreHollis Thompson 16 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2013)
Hollis Thompson scored 16 points while I watched in disbelief as his blatantly tanking 76ers beat my not-so-blatantly tanking Bucks. This is a good thing for Mr. Thompson. My perception of him is now permanently colored by his performance this game. He could shoot 10% the rest of the season and I would still think…

Stern has recently commissioned my services as an expert NBA analyst. He wishes me to tabulate a list of the most dynamic, high-flying point guard-big man duos in the league. From what I understand, this information will be used by the NBA’s marketing department in deciding who to feature in television advertisements. Without further ado,…

“Come on Ersan, this is Miami, you can’t not come out and party with us,” Larry Sanders chided. “Me and the guys are going to go hit the beaches, try to pick up some fine chicas.” Ersan waved him off. “Go without me. I need stays here and, uh…watch game tape.” Larry grabbed him by…
Read MoreKyle Singler Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2013)
So the Pistons have realized that starting Josh Smith with their spacing-challenged frontcourt was a bad idea and doomed to failure. They’ve taken him out of the starting line up. Shooting 5 threes on sub-30% is not the thing you want to do if you want to keep your job, I guess. And they’ve replaced…
Read MoreCaron Butler 38 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2013)
Caron Butler sucks. Do not be fooled by this expertly compiled highlight package. I’ve watched every Bucks game. He has sucked in all of them. Of all the many facets of basketball in which he displays inadequate competency, shot selection is the most glaring. He is a chucker, but not the good kind (if there…
