Andrew Bogut is an Aussie. There are tons of Aussie Bogut homers out there who only care about the NBA because of him. Well, there used to be. Until Matthew Dellavedova came and stole all his spotlight. I could diss Bogut in this description all I wanted and I bet I wouldn’t get even one…

Klay Thompson 26 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/5/2014)
Klay Thompson is making me look like a fool. I was seriously on this guy’s bandwagon at the start of the year. He was killing it. Every game it seemed like he was hitting like five threes. I was proclaiming him to be a great player. But you know what happens to shooters? They get…
Read MoreIsh Smith 8 Points/8 Assists/1 Dunk Full Highlights (1/4/2014)
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…
Read MoreChanning 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…
Read MoreBrandon Knight 25 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/4/2014)
“Come on Brandon, get going, we gotta play,” O.J. Mayo said, stopping to look at his teammate, who had halted in the door frame. “Dude, I can’t go out there. Kaytee’s gonna be courtside. I can’t let her see me,” Brandon responded in a somewhat panicked voice. “There’s gotta be some other way to get…
Read MoreMike Dunleavy 20 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2014)
This question has been bugging me for a long time. Do NBA players get free food at the arenas where they play? Could they just walk off the bench during a timeout to grab some hot dogs or chicken wings? Because, if so, that would be awesome. I can imagine it: kicking back on the…
Read MoreMatthew Dellavedova 13 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (1/4/2014)
Kyrie Irving is gone. No amount of wishing will bring him back. It’s time to move forward without him. It will be difficult, but we have strength. 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…
Read MoreAlexis Ajinça Career High 17 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2014)
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…
Read MoreGreg Stiemsma 12 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2014)
Greg Stiemsma: most worthless dude in the NBA? Probably not, but close. The Pelicans were forced to start him early in the season because he’s a true center. Then they decided that Anthony Davis could play center. And now they’re seemingly content with starting frickin’ Alexis Ajinca. That dude is so good that Basketball-Reference was…
Read MoreTimofey Mozgov 16 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (1/3/2014)
“Evan, why you look sad? We won game!” Evan looked up at his hulking Russian teammate and sighed. “It’s just, I heard Andre talking about how he’s going to treat his woman to a night on the town, and it reminded me that I do not have a girl to call my own.” Confused, Timofey…
