The tide has turned for Anthony Bennett. He was the butt of many an internet joke. People gloried in his failures. People made merriment out of his rotundity. But no longer! Now, instead of jabs and insults, there is encouragement and kind comments about how much fitter he looks. People no longer want to see…

Bradley Beal Career High 37 Points Full Highlights (2/11/2014)
After years of bungled draft picks and wasted assets, the Wizards are finally starting to resemble a decent team. Given that it’s been “their year” for like half a decade I’d say it’s about time. John Wall is looking somewhat like the superstar point guard he was supposed to be. Nene and Gortat bring veteran…
Read MoreJohn Henson 16 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2014)
At what point do we start becoming concerned that John Henson seemingly can’t do anything with his right hand? Why does he even bother doing that shoulder shake thing if everyone knows that he’s just going to go lefty every time? It’s like he worked so hard on developing his off-hand that his dominant hand…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 14 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2014)
Kelly Olynyk and Jared Sullinger. Next great bigman tandem in the NBA? Possibly! When both of them can shoot threes and post up and rebound, I’d say you’re in pretty good shape. Just give them a few years to develop fully. I fully expect Kelly to be the next Dirk. And Jared is the Barkley….
Read MoreAlexey Shved 11 Points/1 Huge Dunk Full Highlights (2/10/2014)
Alexey, despondent during a blowout not in the Timberwolves favor, walked back onto the court with sadness. Suddenly, his teammate Ricky Rubio approached him with some words of advice. “Change this face, be happy, enjoy!” Ricky urged, patting him on the shoulder. After glaring at him for a second, Alexey couldn’t help but smile at…
Read MoreMarreese Speights Career High 32 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2014)
What is that thing on Marreese Speights’ head? Oh god. It doesn’t look good, whatever it is. I Googled “Marreese Speights thing on head” (thanks autocomplete), but it didn’t shed any light on the matter. I hope it’s not cancer. Anyway, despite his disgusting cranial deformity, Marreese Speights had a career night against the team…
Read MorePatrick Patterson 22 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2014)
Patrick Patterson has bounced around the league quite a bit since being drafted by the Rockets. Why was he traded for Thomas Robinson? He’s way better than that guy. I get that he wasn’t a good fit on the Kings and so he played like crap. He’s not a great fit on the Raptors either,…
Read MoreMarco Belinelli 20 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2014)
Marco Belinelli sat on his couch, laptop in lap, glass of Merlot in hand. Directing his browser to youtube.com, he searched “marco belinelli, today”. He always liked to keep track of what people were saying about him on various social media sites. As usual, some unrelated stuff came up first. Random Spurs videos with him…
Read MoreVictor Oladipo 23 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2014)
Earlier in the season Michael Carter-Williams seemed to be running away with the ROY race. But he’s hit the fabled “rookie barrier made of bricks”, and has been playing pretty badly lately. I’m not saying Oladipo should win rookie of the year; I’m just saying that it’s not as clear-cut as it was previously. Although…
Read MoreChris Johnson 14 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (2/9/2014)
Chris Johnson stood in the checkout line, filling out a form for the supermarket’s loyalty program. The store was convenient to his house, so he figured that a few dollars of savings here and there would pile up in the long run. When he handed back the form, the checkout clerk’s eyes grew wide when…
