Mirza Teletovic Career High 18 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/20/2013)
Mirza “Bosnian Ryan Anderson” Teletovic just keeps setting career highs. Well, to be fair, he only tied his career high this time. Still pretty good. And it only gets better: he actually did set a career high in threes made, with six. He’s finally turning into the deadeye shooter we all thought he was going…
Read MoreReggie Jackson 18 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2013)
Looks like Reggie Jackson has been watching a little too much Russell Westbrook. Those pull-up jumpers aren’t good shots, even if they do go in. Just because Russ does it doesn’t mean he should. But the other stuff he did against the Bulls was great. Crossovers, dunks, threes, scoop shots, 6 turnovers. I’m too lazy…
Read MoreJohn Henson 20 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2013)
John Henson was pretty clutch against the Knicks. Game-tying putback with .3 seconds left? Sweet pea soup. But he was also pretty unclutch. Missing a potential game winning jumper? Eh, I guess the Bucks are tanking, so it’s cool. Of course, he should never, ever, be taking jumpers at this stage in his career. He…
Read MoreBeno Udrih 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/18/2013)
Beno “Bueno” Udrih is the proud owner of the lamest haircut in the NBA. “Lack of haircut” would actually be a better term. Bueno, you know I respect your PG skills, and I still think you’re a viable starter on a team that doesn’t need scoring out of the point guard position, but I was…
Read MoreBrandon Knight Career High 36 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/18/2013)
Brandon Knight hacked his way through the dense growth of the jungle floor. Slashing with all of his might, his machete cut a path straight through the brush, enabling his feet to tread a path that no human had tread for, perhaps, centuries. Finally, pushing aside two large palm fronds, he was upon his goal:…
Read MoreAndre Drummond 14 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2013)
Why are the Pistons so bad at defense this year? With Monroe, Drummond, and Smith on the court they are horrific. Is it because Drummond is still learning the game, Monroe doesn’t give a crap, and Smith is overrated on that end? Probably. I kind of expected the struggles on offense, though. Drummond is a…
Read MoreJimmy Butler 20 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2013)
Jimmy Butler walked through the darkened streets of the burned-out city. The war had not been kind to Chicago. The basketball, his weapon, now normally colored again, betrayed no evidence of the destructive posterization it had been used for. The sirens still wailed. “Code Orange! Code Orange! Please stay in your houses until the all…
Read MoreAnthony Davis 24 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (12/18/2013)
I’m going to be honest with you guys. When I heard that Anthony Davis was out 4-6 weeks with a fractured hand, I cried. For the first time in my life, I cried. I cried tears of mourning for the alley-oops that would never be; tears of sorrow for the displays of athleticism unperformed; tears…
Read MoreNikola Pekovic 30 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2013)
Does anyone ever question Nikola Pekovic as to why he has a crusader standing over a pile of skulls tattooed on his arm? I bet not. Would you? I definitely wouldn’t. If he even detected the slightest hint of criticism or disapproval he would probably yell “Advance upon Jaffa! Redeem Ascalon! Defeat the Muslim intruders!”…
