Evan Fournier got out of his car and walked towards the row of townhouses. The house number he sought was right there, so he went up to the door and rung the doorbell. After waiting patiently for three seconds, he rung it again. Finally, the door opened, and Jan Vesely appeared in the doorframe. “Evan?…

Kent Bazemore Career High 17 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2014)
The Lakers are the perfect team for a young wing looking for some pressure-free minutes. Pressure-free except for Kobe sitting on the bench silently judging every move, plus the bonus extra judgment he reserves for people who share his initials. But other than that, it’s smooth sailing. No expectations of winning or anything, and D’Antoni…
Read MoreTobias Harris 28 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2014)
Oh, hey Tobias. Didn’t expect to run into you again. How are things with that new team of yours, now which one was that again…? That’s right, the Magic. Must be nice down there in Orlando. Warm weather. Beautiful Babes. Must be getting a lot of action down there huh? Thought so. Don’t be ridiculous…
Read MoreDeMarre Carroll Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (2/22/2014)
Allegedly, DeMarre Carroll is the starting SF for the Atlanta Hawks. I guess time passed me by; I thought they were still starting Marvin Williams. Now that you mention it, I didn’t see any Josh Smith or Joe Johnson out there either. This is very strange. I definitely watched that Hawks team only a few…
Read MoreAnthony Morrow 18 Points Full Highlights (2/22/2014)
Anthony Morrow is like a better, less-appreciated version of Klay Thompson. Nobody ever told Morrow that he needs to be the man on offense, so he picks the right times to start looking for his own shot. Thompson, on the other hand, will shoot until you take him out of the game. One could even…
Read MoreWill Bynum 17 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/22/2014)
Why do people get excited about crossovers where it’s obvious that the one getting crossed was tripped by the one doing the crossing? Devin Harris’ feet detached themselves from the rest of his body after Bynum gave him the ol’ razzle-dazzle, but you can clearly see Devin stumble over Bynum’s foot, which was the real…
Read MoreJermaine O’Neal 23 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (2/22/2014)
In the realm of the elders of the NBA, Jermaine O’Neal might be the savviest and vettest of them all. He’s been in the league for almost as long as Giannis Antetokounmpo has been alive. MJ was still averaging 30 a game the year Jermaine first cut his teeth against NBA competition. DAMN. His recent…
Read MoreGorgui Dieng 8 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/22/2014)
Gorgui Dieng is one of those players who you see playing in college and you think “damn that guy looks pretty big and his defensive potential is probably so sick I want him on my team thank you”. And then you never hear about him again because he sucks and his only skill is being…
Read MoreMike Scott Career High 30 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (2/22/2014)
Mike Scott took a good look at himself in the mirror. As always, he scrutinized every part of his face. After all, he was going to be on TV, and there was no point going out there looking like a hobo. As he smoothed his hair, a voice from above his head startled him. “Hey,…
Read MoreIsh Smith Career High 15 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (2/21/2014)
Ish Smith sat serenely in the sand, letting the desert sun warm his cool body. Here, he could attain peace of mind and equilibrium of body, with nothing but the sky to keep him company. The peyote was taking effect. Behind his eyes, colorful visions intertwined, slowly coalescing into recognizable shapes and forms. Ish could…
