Ryan Anderson, having just finished incinerating his teammate Anthony Davis, looked around at the destruction around him. The burned-out corpses of those he once called friends, those he once called mentors, littered the gym. “I am… the flamethrower?” Anderson’s voice contained none of the conviction that he had previously shown. The righteous anger that flooded…

Corey Brewer 18 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2014)
Corey Brewer is definitely in the top 10 “NBA Players Who Appear to Have a Drug Problem”. He is also in the bottom 10 of “NBA Players Who Appear to Have a Steroid Problem”. His arms are twigs, his legs are twigs, his head is a twig, and his torso is – you guessed it…
Read MoreKyle Korver 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/12/2014)
Since Kyle Korver and his handsome face have stolen multiple girlfriends from me in the past few years, I am currently done with women for the time being. Fate has seen fit to test my resolve by placing attractive females in my way as I go about my daily life, but I’m a strong man…
Read MoreRobin Lopez 19 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2014)
What blows my mind is that the Portland Trailblazers scored in 84 in the first half…while starting Allen Crabbe. Forget about Robin Lopez for a second. He doesn’t matter right now. Allen Crabbe! My brain doesn’t know how to handle this information. It’s all I can do to play simplistic Flash games while I wait…
Read MoreTarik Black 10 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2014)
Tarik “Tarrick Rose” Black sure caught me off guard. I have a file of NBA players that I try to keep up-to-date, but off to the side, I have another file called “Players You Don’t Need to Worry About.” Roko Ukic and Marcus Cousin are in there. So are guys who were drafted but who…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope 20 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2014)
Walking proudly into the Pistons locker room, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope coughed loudly to announce his presence. “Sup guys.” Most of the other Pistons didn’t even look up, but the few that did, stared. Kentavious was dressed in full papal regalia, triregnum perched on his head and the Pallium vestment adorning his body. In his hand he…
Read MoreAlec Burks 22 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2014)
There was, at one point, a lot of hype for Alec Burks as the next young stud scorer who was soon to break out at any point. That hype may still exist, deep within the darkest and most depraved recesses of Jazz-related message boards, but for the average fan, Alec Burks has become an afterthought….
Read MoreGerald Green 28 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2014)
The Phoenix Suns are going to have hard time living up to the funness they displayed last year. In part because people are expecting them to be good instead of being awful, and also due to a perfect storm of contract years and Gerald Green going nutso. The West got stronger (except for OKC, RIP…
Read MoreEvan Fournier Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2014)
Evan Fournier just keeps getting better and better. It’s gonna really suck when Oladipo comes back and we only get to watch the Ferocious Frenchman for 20 or so minutes a night. That’s the problem with hoarding a ton of young talent; you end up with a ton of guys who all want minutes. There…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 14 Points/1 Buzzer-Beater Full Highlights (11/12/2014)
In a rookie class full of still-learning players putting up unexciting performances, Bojan Bogdanovic has been a nice surprise. His 22 point game is the best of any rookie so far, and he’s second among rookies in PPG after Jabari Parker. I should probably double-check those stats and not just trust the Nets commentators, but…
