Jared Sullinger 19 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2014)

So the Celtics are 3-5 despite having the second-highest-scoring offense in the league. The cause is easily found: they have the second-most-porous defense in the league, negating their smoothly-run offense. Moral of the story: Celtics games are fun to watch because everybody scores a lot of points, and points are fun. Another reason to tune…

Mario Chalmers 23 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (11/14/2014)

“Dad, I’m pretty sure this isn’t how they play basketball in the NBA.” Mario’s dad stopped playing defense and looked at his son. “Yes it is. Sure, they use something called a ‘ball’ instead of this seal head, but the idea is the same.” “No, dad. I’m talking about how hard you’re fouling me.” “Rio,…

Bismack Biyombo 11 Points/10 Rebounds/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/14/2014)

I have compiled a list of nicknames suitable for Bismack Biyombo. 1. Bustmack Biyombo 2. Bismack Bustombo 3. Bismack Biyombust 4. Bustmack Bustombo 5. Bustmack Biyombust 6. Bismack Bustombust 7. Bustmack Bustombust However, none of them really captures my imagination. They’re all lacking in something…creativity? Panache? Incisiveness? Originality? So I have just come up with…

Pablo Prigioni 13 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2014)

Pablo Prigioni does not make regular appearances in my highlight videos. He was a really good player, once upon a time, and even in his advanced age can do some things. But he doesn’t ever look to score, and DTB doesn’t do assist-only highlights. He can shoot the three well, but only because he chooses…

Tobias Harris 26 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2014)

It’s easy enough, as a Bucks fan, to forget about that Tobias trade by not watching any teams other than the Bucks. This goes for any team and any trade. Focus all your attention on the perils of your own team, and cast thoughts of unequal deals from your mind. Of course, there is always…

Anderson Varejao 16 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2014)

Anderson “The Brazilian Bomber” Varejao’s rebounding numbers are way down this year. In 27 minutes per contest, he is grabbing five this year as opposed to almost ten last year. To what can we attribute this drop in rebounding output? A Samson-like hair disorder? Loss of athleticism? Bad shoes? No, it’s not any of those…

Luke Babbitt 12 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (11/14/2014)

Carefully sliding the comb through his hair, Luke Babbitt gazed intently into the locker-room mirror. It was imperative that he took good care of his hair, because… “Great game tonight, Luke,” said his hair, communicating directly with the speech-processing lobes of his brain. “Coach is going to give us more minutes for sure now.” “We…

Jeremy Lamb Career High 24 Points/1 Huge Slam Full Highlights (11/14/2014)

Jeremy Lamb is getting some serious minutes for the first time in his career, and, predictably, he has regressed from his promising sophomore season. Without Westbrick or Durcan’t around to take all the shots, Lamb has been roughly forced into a “primary offensive weapon” role that he isn’t ready for. He might get there in…

Brandon Jennings 29 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/14/2014)

Giannis Antetokounmpo 19 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (11/14/2014)

This is certainly the best offensive performance, by far, of Greece Lightning’s young career up to this point. He even executed a flawless pull-up jumper that kind of looked like the inimitable KD himself. In case you couldn’t figure out my initialism, I’m talking of course about late 90’s superstar Kornel David. KD was not…
