You wanna know how you know that a team sucks at evaluating talent? Other than them being an NBA team? When they waive a player that goes on to contribute to a winning team. The Wizards did this with Shelvin Mack. He gives the Hawks some energy off the bench, and the Wizards got rid…

Jeremy Lamb Career High 22 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/29/2013)
Kevin Durant walked through the halls of the Thunder practice facility after getting some individual drills in. It was late, and he though he was the only on there. But as he walked, he thought he heard a wailing voice. Curious, he navigated his way towards the source of the noise. Soon, he stood outside…
Read MoreTobias Harris 17 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2013)
Now that Bucks fans have Giannis to fawn over, they’re almost all the way through the grieving process for losing Tobias Harris. The scars are fading; and while time heals not all wounds, it does pass quickly enough for the average short-minded sports fan. It helps that Tobes has been injured for almost the whole…
Read MoreThaddeus Young 30 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (12/28/2013)
I gotta give props to the National Security Administration. Ever since they started keeping logs of everything every one of us does on the internet, my job has gotten a lot easier. I just asked them for logs on a certain Mr. Thaddeus Young, and they gave them to me no questions asked. This is…

“Adam, you know I respect you, but could you possibly walk any louder? We’re supposed to be sneaking.” Adam Silver turned red at the admonishment of his boss, but the pitch blackness afforded him cover. “Sorry, sir,” he whispered demurely, pushing his glasses up his nose. “Do you know which room is his?” David Stern…
Read MoreMirza Teletovic 17 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2013)
I once knew a Bosnian dude, in my earlier days. We called him “The Gorilla” because of his preponderance of body hair. And then we made fun of him for shaving. Funny how that works out, huh? This doesn’t have anything to do with Mirza Teletovic and his 17 points; I just wanted to share…
Read MoreMiles Plumlee Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2013)
“He’s straight gangstering” The most ridiculous line ever uttered in the entire course of human history. Eddie Johnson, you should be ashamed of yourself. And it’s not like this was the first time he said it. In fact you could almost consider it one of his catchphrases. There is a reason I don’t listen to…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 23 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/28/2013)
Terrence Ross had a whole quarter with which to acquire the three point shooting record of twelve in a game. He only had to make five more. A mere five. Child’s play. But he couldn’t do it. Even worse, it seemed like he didn’t try. Terrence Ross, a quitter. Who would have guessed. Rudy would’ve…
Read MoreWill Bynum 18 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2013)
Why are short players always the biggest chuckers? Nate Robinson: chucker. Isaiah Thomas: chucker. Will Bynum: chucker. JJ Barea: Mexican chucker. It’s like, if you’re six feet or under, your only role in the NBA is to be an incredibly undersized shooting guard. Why is that? I’m not a psychologist, but I’d say these guys…
Read MoreChris Kaman 19 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/27/2013)
Sports fandom is a funny thing. It leads otherwise rational people to behave in irrational ways and say irrational things. Case in point: Lakers’ fans reactions to signing Chris Kaman. “He’s going to be so much better than coward he has mid range unlike him and can actually make free throws” “hes going to be…
