Arron Afflalo is not taking last year’s All-Star snubbing well. His scoring average is way down, and his in-huddle inspirational speeches have turned into rambling monologues on the absurdity of the human condition. The Nuggets must be sympathizing with him, because the whole team is playing below expectations. There is a lot of speculation on…

Dion Waiters 20 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
At some point last summer, Dion Waiters got pissed at all the haters and tweeted “Men lie women lie BUCKETS DNT” accompanied by some highlights of him getting buckets. Those highlights were created by me, and in the description I mentioned how, while the highlights were impressive, they weren’t good shots or sustainable, and how…
Read MoreGerald Henderson 18 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
After two years of suffering with “best player on a bad team” syndrome, and one year of “second-best player on a mediocre team” syndrome, Gerald Henderson found himself rejected from the Hornets lineup. This was just the second thirty-minute game that Hendo got this year, after averaging thirty minutes per game last year. Is this…
Read MoreTaj Gibson 20 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
Taj Gibson awoke slowly, lacking the energy to even open his eyes. There was a vague pressure on top of him, a pressure which explained why he had just woken up from a dream about being ponderously flattened between two slabs of concrete. A dim dawn-light made the inside of his eyelids a soothing medium-gray…
Read MoreTyler Zeller 19 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
The Piedmont family, eager for some excitement after weeks of deprivation training at the local desenz facility, were heading towards the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. The young Piedmont boys were big basketball fans; at 7’1″ they were a starting point-guard tandem for their local high school team in the class of…
Read MoreTobias Harris 24 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
These are the quintessential Tobias Harris highlights. There is no aspect of his game that isn’t adequately represented herein. I actually just deleted all the rest of the Tobes highlights from my channel, even the one from his Bucks days, due to their new-found irrelevance. Deleted the backups, too. Those suckers are gone forever. Forever…
Read MoreShabazz Napier 11 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
I am not a very qualified person to write this description. I know very little of this enigmatic “Shabazz” character. The Heat drafted him so that LeBron would stick around, and we know how that worked out, so in his first major task Napier failed miserably. That’s not a good portent. Other than that tidbit…
Read MoreMatt Bonner 18 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
Matt Bonner has been starting a bunch of games for the Spurs in the absence of Tiago Splitter. Let me repeat: Matt Bonner is STARTING for the DEFENDING CHAMPION San Antonio Spurs. Take a look at the thumbnail. Your reaction should be mirroring his. Nothing against the Red Mamba, since I’m sure he tries really…
Read MoreAlex Len Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
This must be the version of Alex Len the Suns thought they were getting when they drafted him with the 5th pick. Or maybe they thought they were getting the version of him that shoots nothing but threes. I hope not, otherwise they’re going to be sorely disappointed. I’m enjoying this dunking version of him….
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 22 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
Bojan “Bojangles” Bogdanovic may be a newbie to the delights of the southern-US-based fried chicken chain, but he is certainly no newbie when it comes to showcasing his talents on the hardwood. As the only good player on the Nets tonight, he drops in his patented “20 piece chicken & 10 biscuits box” (plus two…
