One of the reasons I started this channel was to avenge those Drew Gooden triple doubles that never had highlights made of them. I mean, come on. Drew Gooden. Triple doubles. Plural. Not just one. Multiple triple doubles. Not wimpy ones either; these babies had 13 dimes apiece. But Gooden was already an afterthought in…

Jon Leuer 19 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (3/5/2014)
For the most part I agree with the decisions that the various coaching staffs around the league make. They’re the professionals. They know what’s best. I’m just a lazy internet commentator who sits around and scratches its nutsack all day. But I must take issue with the Grizzlies’ minute allotment. Namely the (lack of) playing…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 19 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (3/5/2014)
Kelly Olynyk showed off some sick post moves in the summer league. And, as far as I can tell, hasn’t successfully performed them more than a half-dozen times this entire season, mainly because of a paucity of attempts. I demand answers. Why isn’t he getting post ups? Is it because he’s white? Is it because…
Read MoreJeff Adrien Career High 15 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2014)
Some people say the Bucks aren’t tanking. I say phooey. The Bucks are tanking, and not hiding it very well. How do I know? They’re playing Jeff Adrien decent minutes at center. It’s kind of reminiscent of the John-Brockman-at-center experiment they tried a few years ago. Adrien is an NBA 6-7, which in reality means…
Read MoreBrandon Knight 25 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/5/2014)
New idea for the restaurant Brandon Knight should open when he’s done with his playing days: The Knight’s Templar: Medieval food and basketball Fun for the whole family! I haven’t fully fleshed out the details, but it would involve authentic medieval fare like uneatable bread and big things of meat. The crusades would be reenacted…
Read MoreIsaiah Thomas 25 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/5/2014)
People always like to rag on teams for passing on players in the draft. “Oh look at all those teams who passed on Drummond what an obvious pick so much potential I should be a GM.” This usually happens when the team they are a fan of made the pick in question or was later…
Read MoreSpencer Hawes 20 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2014)
Spencer “The Mulleted Manhandler” Hawes probably didn’t appreciate being traded from one ugly situation (Philadelphia) to another ugly situation (Cleveland). I’m sure he was angling for something like Houston or Miami, or at the very least Chicago. Every team has a place for a seven-footer who can shoot threes and look really dopey wearing an…
Read MorePatrick Beverley 19 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/4/2014)
Remember when Patrick Beverley maliciously and flagrantly injured Russell Westbrook, nearly ending Westbrook’s career? How dare somebody play with defensive intensity all 48 minutes! This isn’t just fun and games; there are superstars’ lives on the line here. Note to Patrick: save the defensive effort only for games that are: 1) within ten points, and…
Read MoreEric Gordon 29 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/4/2014)
If Eric Gordon were a subgenre of rock music, what subgenre would he be? This is a tough question to answer since rock is an extremely broad musical genre, encompassing almost any form of guitar-based music. My first inclination is that Eric Gordon would be 70’s Psychedelic Rock, since that genre is very free-flowing and…
Read MoreDanny Green 24 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2014)
Danny “Eggs and Ham” Green was the darling of the finals last year. Hitting threes like a maniac, blocking LeBron, what a story. At least until the Heat figured him out and he became useless. And it looks like the rest of the league has figured him out too, because he hasn’t been playing well…
