“Glenny boy! I’m so glad you made it home for Thanksgiving!” gushed Glen’s mom, rushing over for a big hug. “I’m afraid the group’s a bit smaller than usual, but I still made all the fixin’s!” Glen smiled into his mother’s embrace. “I’ve been missin’ your cookin’ ever since I got drafted, ma. I could…

CJ Watson 18 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/27/2013)
Remember when CJ Watson was good? Don’t lie to me. You don’t remember. CJ Watson was never “good”. He has resided squarely in the state of “okay” for his entire career. He’s probably one of the most anonymous players in the league, except for Bulls fans who wish he would come back and be their…
Read MoreFrancisco Garcia 21 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2013)
“Hey, great game Francisco,” James Harden said after the game. “It must be really cool to play so close to your home fans in Mexico.” Francisco looked irritated. “Dude, I’m from the Dominican Republic. Not Mexico.” “Yeah, yeah, whatever, same thing. Listen, my mom is looking for a great enchilada recipe to impress some guests,…
Read MoreChanning Frye 25 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2013)
The klaxons went off without warning, startling Channing out of his cryo-sleep. The computer’s voice, usually a pleasant female tone, now bellowed in the manner of a drill sergeant: “CODE ORANGE! CODE ORANGE! ALIENS ABOARD THE SHIP! ALL PERSONNEL TO REPORT TO CENTRAL BAY FOR INSTRUCTIONS! CODE ORANGE! CODE ORANGE!” If Channing hadn’t already been…
Read MoreTaj Gibson Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2013)
“I gaze at the starlit sky. Visions shimmer in my eye. What better can there in this world be Than the unity of you and me?” Taj Gibson folded up his carefully penned poem, and placed it lovingly in an envelope marked “To Caroline”. “Yo, you writing that crappy poetry again?” It was Carlos Boozer….
Read MoreMirza Teletovic Career High 17 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2013)
There were lots of expectations put on the Brooklyn Nets coming into the year. Playoff team. Contender. Champion. It is now apparent that any expectations that anyone had at all for the Nets were optimistic. They suck. They have injuries, sure, but what team doesn’t? The main problem, I think, is their coach, Jason Kidd….
Read MoreRyan Anderson 21 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2013)
Dwight Howard has sucked (relatively speaking) since leaving the Magic. People can talk about “injuries” and “effort” but we all know the real reason. He doesn’t have Ryno anymore. Anderson is the ultimate floor spacer. You can’t leave him open for even a little bit. Even if you do guard him there’s a good chance…
Read MoreAndrew Nicholson 18 Points Full Highlights (11/26/2013)
Andrew “Nickles” Nicholson’s play has been so inspiring as of late that I felt compelled to write a rap about it. I’ve already got three major labels on the phone at the same time so if you aren’t a bigshot label rep don’t even leave a comment. You’ll just be embarrassing yourself. Men are at…
Read MoreJermaine O’Neal 18 Points Full Highlights (11/26/2013)
The first time I ever heard of Jermaine O’Neal was in the Guinness world records book. I know it seems weird, because Jermaine isn’t really the record setting type. But at the time he was the youngest player to have ever played in the NBA. If you looked now his name wouldn’t be there. Some…
Read MoreVictor Oladipo 18 Points/5 Assists/1 Poster Dunk Full Highlights (11/26/2013)
For a person who engages in a competitive endeavor, Victor Oladipo sure has a great name. “Victor”. It gives him that extra little “oomph” before a game even starts. The subconscious effect on the opposition cannot be understated. They look at the opposing roster, see the name “Victor Oladipo”, and a little part of their…
