Marcus Thornton has been wildly inconsistent this year. With the Kings he had a 42 point outburst bookended by streaks of horrible games. And he hasn’t done much better with the Nets, alternating between good games like this and games where he scores under five. He’s always been a streaky shooter, so I guess this…

So apparently Andre Drummond is no longer going out with Jennette McCurdy. It escaped my notice that that relationship ended a long time ago. I can imagine the conversation: “Oh Andre you have so many good qualities but how am I supposed to tell my friends that I’m going out with a guy who can’t…

Whistling a made-up tune, Jeff Green once again consulted the cookbook. “Thinly” slice the potatoes? His hands were so huge that he doubted that he would end up with anything other than gigantic chunks, but he pressed onwards.

For the first time in a long time, the Kings appear to have a core they can build around: Cousins, Gay, and Thomas. These players all have deficiencies, but it’s a start. Cousins in particular is a big question mark. He kinda looks like this: ?. Does he contain within him the discipline necessary not…

Kelly Olynyk sat staidly at his keyboard, nestled in a corner of his cramped studio apartment. His rookie salary easily allowed for nicer accommodations, but he preferred the tight space. Not as much room for unnecessary possessions. He was playing a melody that had appeared in his mind during the night. Playing, tweaking, repeating. Fiddling…
Read MoreKyle Lowry Triple Double 20 Pts/11 Asts/12 Rebs Full Highlights (3/9/2014)
The Raptors commentators describe Lowry as someone who has a lot of “intensity”. Which explains why he pisses the opposing team off all the time and is always seemingly itching for a fight. And why he has the reputation (unearned?) of being a team cancer. But does it explain his rotundity? Is his intensity highest…
