Jeremy Lamb 15 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2013)

Jeremy Lamb is supposed to be good. So why doesn’t he get more minutes? I get that the Thunder are trying to win a chip, but Lamb is the only decent remnant from the Harden trade. In order to make that trade look not totally horrible, he needs to be getting minutes and putting up…

Jared Dudley 21 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2013)

Jared “The Duder” Dudley’s role has been reduced to “just a guy who shoots open jumpshots”. It seems every shot he takes is a cleanly set-up J from Chris Paul. He hasn’t been altogether successful at hitting them, considering how open he’s been, but that’s okay. The Clippers don’t need him to be especially good…

Terrence Jones 18 Points/10 Rebounds Full Highlights (11/23/2013)

Is Terrence Jones the long-term answer for the Rockets at the power forward position? Ask Omer Asik, Patrick Patterson, Marcus Morris or Donatas Motiejunas, and they’ll tell you the answer: no. The long-term answer was supposed to be Dirk, but that didn’t quite work out. So now McHale plays whomever he can find for the…

Aaron Brooks 26 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/23/2013)

With James Harden out indefinitely with a sprained beard, who better to step into the “shoot a ton of threes” void than Aaron Brooks? The Rockets’ other players have too much of a conscience, but Brooks hardly gets any minutes at this point. If he shoots like a maniac, what’s McHale going to do, limit…

Matthew Dellavedova 14 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2013)

The Cavs are a seriously messed up team. Rather than start their 4th pick from a year ago, they decide to start an undrafted Aussie rookie with a messed up face. Waiters is rumored to have punched Irving in a dispute during a players-only meeting. Well, he should have punched Dellavedova instead. The resultant facial…

Anthony Bennett 9 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2013)

There has been much furor on the internet over the fact that Anthony Bennett, the Cavs numero uno pick, is playing like total garbage. You know he’s bad when people are comparing him unfavorably to Olowokandi. A keen observer might notice some other clues to his unsuitableness, like his sub-15% shooting percentage and that clip…

Samuel Dalembert 18 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (11/22/2013)

“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…

Hollis 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…

Jeremy Evans Career High 14 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (11/22/2013)

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,…
