It seems like the Warriors should be better than they actually are. They have good players at every starter spot. So why are they only recently not a .500-ish team? David Lee doesn’t play any defense, but that’s not really the problem. He’s got Bogut backing him up so he can do whatever he wants…

Randy Foye 23 Points/5 Assists/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/7/2014)
Here’s a rule that I came up with: if a player shoots below 40% over the course of a full season in the modern NBA, even if it’s just once in a career, they can no longer be considered a “good” player. No matter what their accomplishments are in other areas of the game, they…
Read MoreKendall Marshall 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/7/2014)
“Kendall Marshall can’t shoot” is all I keep hearing from internet commentators. At what point do we just accept that maybe he can shoot a little bit despite his lack of lift and wonked out form? He’s now shooting 56 percent from the field, and while that number will go down, he has shown at…
Read MoreCJ Miles 34 Points/10 Threes Full Highlights (1/7/2014)
What’s up with NBA players and not setting the record for most threes made in a game? I mean, every single performance by every single player this year has failed in this respect. And then, when someone finally does get close, they don’t even gun selfishly for the record! CJ Miles should have had no…

The spaceship coasted silently in a particularly empty region of the Virgo cluster, fresh off an excursion to Thaul-Ratos. “Those Ratosians sure don’t appreciate our efforts”, Porgon 18-F remarked as she tended the ionization wounds to her 4th and 5th ancillary appendages. Pilot Kronbub 32-C expressed his unconcern with a dismissal flap of his cranial…

While the rest of his teammates whooped it up on the dance floor, Moe sat at a table by himself, scowling into his bottle of beer. Noticing his teammates sour mood, Tobias Harris approached him and sat down. “Hey Moe, why so down? There’s enough girls here to lighten the heaviest of hearts.” “I’ve been…
Read MoreThaddeus Young 20 Points Full Highlights (1/6/2014)
Eastern Conference Player of the Week. Thaddeus Young is merely the latest in a long line of great players who have won this prestigious award. Let’s just take a look at what other superstars Thaddeus Young is now in company with. Paul George. LeBron James. Carmelo Anthony. Hmmm. Some pretty good players. Wait a minute……
Read MoreMirza Teletovic 16 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (1/6/2014)
I’ve run out of things to say about Mirza Teletovic. So I’ll let these highlights speak for themselves. If you listen closely you can hear snippets such as “Jason Kidd is a horrible coach” and “Mirza Teletovic is one clutch mofo”. But play these highlights backwards and you may find the secret message! If you…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 14 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (1/4/2015)
Here’s what I’ve found out about Europeans in the course of writing descriptions and witnessing the fallout from them: They don’t like it when you say anything negative about their country, even in jest. I mean, as an American, I see people dissing the country I live in all the time. And I don’t care,…

The discussion of Russian basketball players begins and ends with Arvydas Sabonis, a player who would have been Shaq-esque had he come over to the US in his prime. But wait! Sabonis is actually Lithuanian, and only played for the Soviet Union because, at that time, Lithuania was part of the USSR! So really, the…
