Marcus Thornton has had a rough stretch of games lately. Like, really rough. Sandpaper-like. He managed a 12 point game early in the month and was promptly rewarded with a spot in the starting lineup. He then proceeded to average around 4 points while playing 25-ish minutes a contest over the next 9 games. Way…

Chandler Parsons Career High 34 Points/10 Threes Full Highlights (1/24/2014)
Robert Horry’s gonna be pretty sad to find out that Parsons broke his Rockets record of 9 threes in a game. Until he looks at his hands bedecked with championship rings. Rings ease the pain of a lot of stuff, I’d guess. Oh yeah, the record. 10 threes. In a row. Without missing. And it’s…
Read MoreMirza Teletovic Career High 34 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/24/2014)
While Carmelo Anthony scored a historic 62 points in the storied Madison Square Garden, a lesser known but equally gutsy player was making his own history in the Barclays Center. How does 24 points in a quarter sound? Pretty good, right? Who on the Nets could achieve this amazing feat? Joe Johnson may be the…

“Can we switch to something else? I don’t like watching the commercials,” Giannis said uneasily, grabbing for the remote that was in Nate Wolters’ hand. Nate snatched the remote away from Giannis’ long reach and laughed. “No way, dude. My apartment, my TV, my rules.” “Come on man, this channel always has the really stupid…

Patty Mills, driving home from another successful practice, looked around curiously. He had been diverted from his normal route home by detours, and was traveling through a commercial area that he had never had occasion to visit. Suddenly, a large sign ahead grabbed all of his attention. It read: “BED BATH & BEYOND” Unable to…
Read MoreBoris Diaw 21 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2014)
Screw Boris Diaw. He pretty much quit on the Bobcats so that he could get waived, and then he signs with the Spurs and suddenly starts caring again? You’re a paid professional, Boris. There’s a reason that the general public thinks that NBA players are a bunch of lazy, overpaid malcontents. Fatass.
Read MoreAnthony Morrow 21 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (1/24/2014)
Anthony “Starvation Victim” Morrow is the purest shooter in the NBA. Of course, I’m talking about the parallel-universe NBA where Stephen Curry was never born and some guy named Mark Stevens is the point guard for the Warriors. There are some other anomalies as well (I keep telling people we should never have allowed an…

Tobias rode to the temple upon his steed of deepest black. “I demand entrance to this place,” he told the Warden of the Gate, a gryphon-like being wearing upon its head a wreath of flames. “Entrance to the temple of the all-star is granted only to the few that are worthy. A wise man does…
