Isaiah Thomas is short. Of course to you or me he would look like a normal sized person in real life. But on an NBA court he looks like a midget. Plays like one too. Faster than everyone else and surprisingly adept at finishing because he disappears among people’s legs. And now he gives hope…

Drew Gooden 18 Points Full Highlights (3/18/2014)
This is getting pretty ridiculous. Drew Gooden has exceeded all my expectations. And everybody else’s, too, I’m sure. There’s no way his jumpshot will be this pure for the rest of the season, right? Anyway, along with his newfound playing time comes a sweet new celebration after a made basket. If he feels he wasn’t…
Read MoreJarrett Jack 22 Points Full Highlights (3/18/2014)
The Cavs wanted to make the playoffs this year. They figured, not necessarily wrongly, that Irving + other recent draftees + a savvy vet + 1st overall pick was going to be enough to do it. So they signed Jarrett Jack to bring scoring punch and playmaking to the bench and to be a savvy…
Read MoreLance Stephenson 25 Points Full Highlights (3/17/2014)
I’m imagining that Pacers fans are experiencing a lot of cognitive dissonance right now. They love the Pacers, and they love basketball, but they have to reconcile that with Lance Stephenson being an iso-loving tough guy maniac who makes a mockery of the game with his swag. But despite Stephenson’s not-as-desirable qualities, he has turned…
Read MoreHollis Thompson Career High 17 Points/3 Assists Full Highlights (3/17/2014)
Philadelphia’s “Armored Combat Vehicle” is unstoppable at this point. Hollis Thompson getting 40 minutes in a single game is probably beyond even Hollis’ own wildest fantasies. Other things that are in Hollis’ fantasies: -Playing for a good team -Scoring with that cheerleader Alexandria, she is so cute -Finally beating Super Mario Bros. on N64 -Taking…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 16 Points Full Highlights (3/17/2014)
New nominee for worst beard in the NBA: Kelly Olynyk Holy crap. That’s some high-school level stuff right there. This thing is a patch of translucent pubes jutting from the end of his chin. In general a fair-haired dude like Kelly shouldn’t be attempting facial hair until it grows thick. That goes for everybody, actually….
Read MoreTerrence Jones 30 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (3/17/2014)
So, the Rockets have found their power forward of the future. No, not Donatas Motiejunas. Seriously? Look at the title of the video. Come on man. All they need to reach contender status is a good point guard. I’m not totally sold on Patrick Beverley. And obviously Jeremy Lin is Jeremy Lin. But the combo…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 22 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (3/16/2014)
Terrence Ross is a pretty good NBA player. His 51 point game was an anomaly, but still, pretty good. His three point stroke is smooth. He sends the commentators into a frenzy with his ferocious jams. But I sometimes wonder if he could find more success in another sport. Not baseball or football or anything…
Read MoreReggie Bullock Career High 14 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2014)
Reggie Bullock belatedly celebrated Blake Griffin’s birthday with the rest of the team in Blake’s lavishly-appointed living room. Eating a slice of cake, he wondered if his teammates even knew that his own birthday fell on the same day. But even if they did, why would they care? He was just a rookie. He should…
Read MoreDerrick Williams 26 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2014)
When I was watching this game, it almost felt like Derrick Williams was playing up to the potential that he seemed to show in college. It was the most glorious feeling ever. For once in my life, I was overcome not by negative emotions like hate and anger, but instead, by happiness and optimism. For…
