After a brief period of interior turmoil, the Cavaliers are happy again. Waiters gets to come off the bench and chuck without fear of being shut out by Kyrie. No one is getting punched anymore. They might not be winning games, but you gotta take these kind of things one at a time. And Waiters…

Tristan Thompson 22 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2013)
I once tried to shoot free throws using my left hand as the shooting hand. I’m a righty so it didn’t work at all. I’m talking airballs in every direction. Giving “wide left” a whole new meaning. So how on earth did Tristan Thompson manage to switch his shooting hand? No matter how screwed up…
Read MoreTerrence Jones 20 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (12/26/2013)
“What about you, Terrence? What did you get for Christmas?” Hesitating, Terrence Jones didn’t know how to respond. All of his teammates were swapping notes over their new PS4’s. But he hadn’t gotten a PS4. He had gotten an Xbox One, even though he had confirmed in writing on his wish list that he wanted…
Read MoreAl Horford 25 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2013)
Despite my extensive campaigning, Al Horford remains underrated. I don’t get it. He’s somehow even better than before yet people still overlook him. He can even shoot threes now! Isn’t that what you all want? Plus he’s led the Hawks to an above .500 record, an impressive feat apparently for Eastern Conference teams. Whatever, it’s…
Read MoreDanny Green 22 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2013)
Danny Green surely has been the downfall of many a fantasy team this year. Not mine, luckily, since I don’t do that crap, but I bet I can find many disappointed owners who needed his threes. Remember, never put all your eggs in one basket. That and other wisdom-filled nuggets can be found in my…
Read MoreMirza Teletovic 17 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (12/25/2013)
“Wow, a new tie! Awesome, thanks, Mom!” Mirza exclaimed, unwrapping a shiny green tie from Macy’s. “This will look great with my blue dress shirt!” He set it aside with his already large pile of received gifts. Rummaging under the tree, he found a package labeled “To: Dad”. He handed it to his father, where…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 24 Points Full Highlights (12/25/2013)
What constitutes a “big three”? Everyone talks about Miami as having such a thing. The Spurs as well. If you order every team’s players by skill, it turns out that every team has three players at the top of that list. Does that mean they all have a “big three”? Because the Jazz’s big three…
Read MoreAmar’e Stoudemire 22 Points Full Highlights (12/25/2013)
Christmas again. The bespectacled, unshaven man looked out of from his Manhattan apartment. Down on the street he could see all the accoutrements of the season; holly, fake icicles made of lights, and wreaths, among other gaudery. Signs on the business below proclaimed their hope that you would have a great Christmas. Amar’e sighed, and…
Read MoreGerald Green 22 Points/6 Threes/0 Dunks Full Highlights (12/23/2013)
Eric Bledsoe looked at his teammate skeptically. “You sure this thing’s safe? I don’t want to get blown up or nothing.” The contraption in Gerald Green’s hands certainly didn’t exude safety; it was basically a ball of wires and circuit boards, with a few analog radio knobs on the side. “I told you already Eric,…
Read MoreAl Jefferson 26 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2013)
The Bobcats were pretty much the only suitors for not-so-coveted free agent Al Jefferson last offseason. There’s a reason no one really wanted him; he is a black hole who doesn’t play defense. But the Bobcats felt that he was the missing piece to their playoff puzzle and signed him to a fairly ridiculous deal….
