Khris Middleton has been something of a revelation for the Bucks. He was an unknown coming into the season (because who watches the Pistons or the Bucks), but he has shown very good shooting skills. His shot is a little flat, well actually a lot flat, but if he has his feet set and his…

Larry Sanders Career High 25 Points/15 Rebounds Full Highlights (2/5/2014)
Larry Sanders sat dutifully in his seat during Ms. DeJong’s 7th grade social studies class. They had just completed the unit on the history of Mesopotamia, and were now moving on to world geography. The large roll-down world map was hanging in front of the blackboard. The school-district had had an unexpected budget surplus; one…
Read MoreJosh Smith 25 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2014)
I sit at my computer, mouth agape, lost for words. Josh Smith, at the free throw line (0:30), clanks one badly off the back rim…but I look at the box score, and it reads “Smith Free Throw 1 of 2 (4 PTS)”. How could it be? The ball did not go through the hoop, therefore…
Read MoreDeMarre Carroll Career High 22 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (2/5/2014)
Mike Budenholzer paced frantically about the room. “We have to start somebody at small forward. That much is known. But who? Who?” A nameless assistant coach piped up, “What if we start Lou at the two and move Kyle to the three?” Budenholzer slammed his fist on the table. “No! Lou is our spark off…
Read MoreAnthony Bennett 14 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2014)
So after not scoring in double figures for the first 33 games of his career, Anthony Bennett has now done it 3 times out of the last 5. As an added bonus, he’s looking slimmer. And he seems to be gaining confidence a little bit. Time to remove that big ol’ bust label that was,…
Read MoreRyan Kelly Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2014)
Ryan Kelly is getting big minutes now for the storied Lakers franchise. But not because he’s especially good. Only because the Lakers are severely short of alive people right now on the roster. I mean, he’s not that bad. For a second round rookie he’s actually damn good. Who says white players from Duke can’t…
Read MoreWes Johnson 15 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (2/4/2014)
Who let Steve Nash out of the nursing home? He’s under strict orders not to play any more basketball. Under no circumstances is he to throw lobs to other basketball players. Somebody should guide Nash gently by the shoulder back to his bed. I’m sure he’s frightened and confused. Speaking of daring acts of escape,…
Read MoreDavid West 22 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (2/4/2014)
If there’s one player I never see anyone talk about, it’s David West. He’s a good player. If he were worse, people would talk about him because he sucks or his team is good despite him. If he was a little bit better people would talk about him because of how good he is. He’s…
Read MoreManny Harris 19 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2014)
The Lakers are a trainwreck. No Kobe, Nash is on life support, Gasol is dead/traded, and even the role players are dropping like flies. I take no enjoyment in this sudden and drastic demise. None. Nope. No schadenfreude here. Enter Manny Harris. This guy is not really any good. Well, actually, he’s really REALLY good…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 19 Points/5 Threes/3 Assists Full Highlights (2/3/2014)
Khris dreamt. In this dream, he was being carried by a friendly giant, carried to a beautiful land far away from the cold failures of Milwaukee. The giant looked down at him and smiled; at that moment, Khris felt a surge of happiness swell in his heart, the kind of perfect emotion that only could…
