It’s obvious that the Pacers didn’t know what they had when they included Miles Plumlee as a throw-in on the Luis Scola deal. Which calls into question the quality of their coaching staff and talent evaluators. It wouldn’t be hard to beat out Ian Mahinmi or whoever for backup center minutes, and if he couldn’t…

Arron Afflalo 26 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/23/2013)
I’m going to say something that may shock and offend you. If you are of weak constitution, please look away now. I think Arron Afflalo should be an all-star this year. Yes, I said it. He’s putting up some fantastic numbers on good percentages. And in today’s NBA, all you need to do to get…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 23 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2013)
Poor Rudy Gay. Every team he leaves gets better with him not there. That’s gotta be hard on his self-esteem. Watching your former teammates enjoy (relative) success without you. One of the players who will probably benefit from his absence is Terrence Ross. There’s a lot more shots to go around now, and Ross has…
Read MoreLuigi Datome 13 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2013)
Another blowout for the Pistons, you know what that means! Minutes for Gigi! Though he actually did manage to get in the game during the first quarter tonight. We’re making progress! He’s still having trouble finding his three point range, but as I said before that will come with time. I still don’t get why…
Read MorePaul Millsap 25 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/23/2013)
Free will is an illusion. How can we possibly have the ability to make choices when we live in a totally deterministic universe? The world we live in is bound totally by the laws of physics, laws which are currently being codified. It is not unreasonable to think that, in the future, we will able…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 14 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (12/23/2013)
Giannis awoke to a pounding headache. Realizing that he was lying on some kind of hard surface, he kept his eyes closed, knowing that wherever he was, it wasn’t good. He cast his mind back in time, attempting to remember the last thing his waking body had done. The details were fuzzy: Caron cajoling him…
Read MoreDarren Collison 18 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2013)
Is Darren Collison good? It seems that he’s always getting shuffled around. Fanbases get excited that they now have a “real” point guard, and then by the end of the year they hate him. I don’t get it. He seems fine to me. But he got traded for Ian Mahinmi. That’s not a good portent….
Read MoreNikola Pekovic Career High 34 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2013)
“Yo, Pek, what are you doing?” “Do not interrupt, Kevin. I am worshiping my pagan gods so that I perform well tonight. Now I have to start over,” Pekovic said. “Perun, god of thunder, he will be displeased. I must channel his will and make it my own.” Kevin Love shook his head and laughed….
Read MoreAmir Johnson 17 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2013)
Amir Johnson is yet another player who has added a three point shot to his game. This is the new NBA. Everyone shoots threes. They’re efficient. To be a good player, you must shoot them. Luckily it seems to be mainly corner threes for now. It seems like he’s always been shooting the long two,…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 27 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2013)
“I don’t know guys, this doesn’t seem like a good idea to me.” Khris Middleton was standing outside of the Bradley Center in nothing but his boxers. Around him were several of his teammates, including Caron Butler, Zaza Pachulia, and Ersan Ilyasova. Caron dismissed Khris’ apprehensions. “Don’t worry about it. Nobody’s ever hurt themselves doing…
