Why would Ishmael “Ish” Smith contract his name in the way he has? Does he not know that the word “ish” is a polite form of the word “shit”? Here’s some example usages: “Imma smoke that dank ish errday.” “Cut that ish out you blithering moron.” “Ish Smith is the most ripped PG in the…

Channing Frye 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/4/2014)
I’m not really into the whole “advanced stats” thing, but I’m gonna give it a try here. Channing Frye’s plus-minus was +44 against the Bucks. That means they outscored the Bucks by 44 points during the 32 minutes he was on the court. Goran Dragic played nearly the same amount of minutes, but his plus-minus…

We also have Matthew Dellavedova who, while not as flashy as the recently-deceased Kyrie, is always giving it 100 percent. Some of his teammates could take a few…

You know your center situation is screwed up when you have to start a newly-signed Euro who hasn’t played in the NBA for a few years. Granted, this Euro dude was doing pretty good with his Euro team. But still. You don’t want Alexis Ajinca to be your best option at the pivot. In fairness…
