Chandler Parsons 23 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2013)

I must admit, I liked the previous iteration of the Houston Rockets a lot better than the current version. The old Rockets were underdogs, played like maniacs, and shot tons of threes. The new Rockets have Dwight Howard. Talk about a bad fit. They should have just grabbed Ryan Anderson or something and called it…

Mike Scott 17 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2013)

Mike Scott has apparently added three-point range to his game during the off season. This seems to be a trend among marginal big-men; they must figure that any skill they can add will only help their chances of sticking in the league. And it’s probably one of the more straight-forward things to add, just take…

Nene 20 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2013)

Official NBA players named after birds power rankings: 1. Nene 2. Rory Sparrow 3. Robin Lopez 4. Brian Cardinal 5. Guy Sparrow 6. Robin Jones 7. Mark Crow Not a very long list, though I’m sure I missed some. And no, Larry Bird doesn’t count. Neither does Otis Birdsong. Don’t be stupid.

Toney Douglas 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/8/2013)

Well, that sucked. Spurs beat the Warriors 76-74 in what might be the lowest-scoring game of the year. And the game’s leading scorer was none other than Toney “Baloney” Douglas! The Warriors commentators were so distraught over Stephen Curry’s injury that all they could do was project his attributes onto other players, and that included…

Jordan Hamilton Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2013)

“Yo Jordan, you wanna smoke this bowl with us?” JaVale said, waving him over to where a group of Nuggets teammates was sitting in a circle on the floor. “Timofey just got some of the dankest kush ever from his dealer back in Russia.” Timofey smiled widely. “I assure you friend that this kush is…

Tony Wroten Career High 18 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2013)

The best part of a new season is seeing some of last year’s scrubs un-scrub themselves and turn into decent role players. Like Tony Wroten. He sucked last year for the Grizzlies because he got no minutes. Or he got no minutes for the Grizzlies because he sucked. I don’t remember. Either way, he blew….

Bradley Beal Career High 29 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (11/8/2013)

The Wizards are yet another example of why getting tons of high picks doesn’t always lead to championships. Or playoff appearances. Or winning records. I know it takes time, which they have in spades, but it also takes good management, something they are sorely lacking. Or you could just blame Jan Vesely. That guy sucks….

Jodie Meeks 18 Points/1 Game-Winning Assist Full Highlights (11/7/2013)

Allegedly, Kobe Bryant used to destroy Jodie Meeks with regularity in practice. But now the tables are turned. If Meeks and Bryant were to go one-on-one right at this very instant, Meeks would certainly dominate. All Jodie would have to do is pull out all of Kobe’s intravenous drips, unplug his breathing machine, and prop…

JaVale McGee 14 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (11/7/2013)
