Mike Conley is a rare breed of player: a starter on a playoff quality team who somehow gets no recognition for his consistently great play. It baffles me how little people talk about this guy. Maybe he needs to dunk it more? Come to think of it I don’t think I’ve ever seen him dunk….

John Henson 18 Points/13 Rebounds/2 Blocks Full Highlights (12/14/2013)
John Henson slept fitfully, tossing and turning in his bed. Within the deepest confines of his brain, a dream played out its haunting plotline… ——————– From the fog emerged a dark, tall figure. The grey murk made it impossible to distinguish the man until he walked right up to John. “Wilt! Why are you here?”…
Read MoreBrandan Wright 19 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2013)
After this game, Brandan “Wright Hand Path” Wright’s PER is an insane 45.3. I don’t want to boast, but I always knew Brandan was the most elite player in the league. He just needed the right circumstances to break out. Dirk Nowitzki being out for the time being is the best thing to ever happen…
Read MoreAndrea Bargnani 23 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2013)
Bargnani sat down heavily at his desk. He was exhausted, not by the physical exertion of practice, but by the prose aching to be released from his body. Pulling to him a feather pen and a piece of stationery, he wrote: “As stars shine in the night above It is only you I think of,…
Read MoreLou Williams 27 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/14/2013)
Somehow the return of Lou Williams to the Hawks from injury has not generated much excitement among NBA fans. I don’t get it. He’s a swaggy sixth man who likes to shoot. Nick Young does exactly the same thing for the Lakers and everyone loves him. Well, screw those other people. I’m excited. And you’re…
Read MoreMiroslav Raduljica 12 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2013)
Question: Which foreign-born Bucks rookie is gonna be a total beast after he acclimates to the speed of the NBA game and learns to use his physical gifts to his advantage? Answer: Miroslav Raduljica. I know what you’re thinking. “Why not Nate Wolters?”. It’s a simple mistake to make, but Minnesota actually IS part of…
Read MoreKevin Seraphin 16 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2013)
The Wizards have pretty much given up playing Kevin Seraphin. Who can blame them? He’s a chucker who doesn’t draw fouls. He doesn’t pass the ball. He doesn’t play defense but somehow fouls a lot anyway. His one positive attribute, his scoring ability, is not even that good. Keep in mind that I am in…
Read MoreMiles Plumlee 12 Points/6 Dunks/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/13/2013)
For the mathematically inclined viewers out there, you may notice that Miles Plumlee’s dunk total is exactly half of his point output. What can we deduce from that observation? That’s right. All of Miles’ points last night came from dunks! All of them! Life is pretty unfair sometimes. I’ve never dunked a basketball in my…
Read MoreJon Leuer 19 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2013)
Why didn’t Jon Leuer get any minutes before Marc Gasol got injured? He’s been almost entirely a garbage time player during his time in Memphis. Did the coaches not detect the greatness inherent in his play? I swear, the people that NBA teams hire to evaluate talent must be the biggest bunch of idiots ever….
Read MoreTrevor Booker 24 Points/14 Rebounds Full Highlights (12/13/2013)
Trevor Booker was fuming. So close to the win, only to have in snatched from his fingertips! The injustice of it was absolutely maddening. Sitting in the locker room post-game, he scowled at the floor, consumed with dark thoughts. Glen Rice approached him. “Hey Book, you wanna-” He was cut off by the intense hate…
