Luis Scola 24 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2014)

The days of Luis Scola being a potent scorer in the NBA are probably coming to an end. He is 33 now, and is so slow that he’s a defensive liability even if he can splash jumpers from anywhere on the court. Let us have a moment of silence for the Scola of days past,…

Chris Copeland 18 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (4/9/2014)

The Pacers’ struggles recently are widely documented. They were never great at putting the ball in the hole; now the only time they score is through luck. You would think that they would at least attempt to play Chris Copeland to see if he would help. Offense is the one thing he does well. But…

DeMarcus Cousins 30 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2014)

I asked 100 Americans on the street: “Has DeMarcus Cousins finally put it all together?” The responses: Yes: 0% No: 0% Maybe: 0% Put on some clothes you freak: 90% [Pepper spray to interviewer’s face]: 8% [Running away while yelling]: 2% You guys wouldn’t believe where I am right now. I hope I get along…

Timofey Mozgov 22 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (4/9/2014)

Timofey Mozgov sat in the locker room, browsing NBA headlines on his phone. If he was being honest with himself, he was looking for stuff like “Mozgov leads Nuggets to victory,” but there wasn’t anything of that sort. There was, however, a story about Jonas Valanciunas’ recent DUI charges. As Timofey read the story, he…

Jeff Withey Career High 17 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2014)

Anthony Davis has back spasms. Alexis Ajinca’s conditioning is still really bad. Jeff Withey has been playing decently. What could possibly be stopping him from starting? Greg Stiemsma. I don’t get it. Stiemsma is definitely a prototypical center, but he has no upside anymore, if he had any ever. He just kind of is. Doesn’t…

Troy Daniels 12 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (4/9/2014)

I’m not going to sit here and pretend I knew anything before this game about Troy Daniels, other than that he was recently signed by the Rockets. Hardly anyone did. Maniac alumni of the college he went to, probably. And Rockets fans who are so invested in their team that they even follow the Rockets’…

Jonas Valanciunas Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2014)

Jonas Valanciunas was doing what he did almost every off-night: Sitting in front of his TV encased in a cocoon of blanket-and-cushion construction, with his coffee table littered with snacks and beverages of the alcoholic type. Tonight was the big game, and he was watching with intentness, though not much happiness. “Are you serious? Are…

Derrick Favors 19 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2014)

Derrick Favors does not abide by the nickname “Faves” or “D. Faves”. I asked him about it on Twitter and he says he prefers “Flava Fave” so that’s what we’re going with. I would tell Matt Harpring to stop using his dumb made-up nickname but I hate Matt Harpring so much that the mere thought…

Travis Outlaw 24 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2014)

You sit at your computer, slumped down in the seat as you browse espn.com for the 5th time. In your hand is a can of Milwaukee’s Best. Your mom always told you 11 is too early to start drinking, but what did she know. She’s gone now. They’re all gone. There is nothing on espn.com…

Isaiah Canaan 15 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (4/8/2014)

Canaansanity is officially in full effect. Officially. This isn’t just some dude on the internet making up stupid words and making sweeping declarations. This is official. With two 15-point games in a row, what’s happening now can’t be anything but. How official? Two words: Adam Silver. He’s been wanting a little more hype in Houston…
