I should never have done these highlights. I knew what I was getting into, but in my desire to please my rabid subscriber-base I disregarded my misgivings. Now, whenever I close my eyes, I see Jordan Farmar’s gigantic Dumbo ears flapping above me. I can even hear them. Two huge auditory organs, forever tormenting me…

Jabari Parker 23 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2014)
Jabari Parker, clad only in his underwear and shivering, placed the first bratwurst in his mouth, gagging at its unappetizing texture. Zaza Pachulia looked on amusedly as the stopwatch ran in his hand. “If you have trouble with first brat, imagine how number 10 feel! Remember, no puke or you lose and receive mocking!” Jabari…
Read MoreKostas Papanikolaou Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2014)
“I’m gonna send a note over to Kevin McHale and want to know why he hasn’t played more.” I don’t know, Hubie, I can’t imagine a single reason why Kostas Papanikolaou isn’t getting 30 minutes a game. Maybe it’s because he’s been shooting sub-30 percent on the season? Can’t really blame the commentators for being…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 19 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2014)
Bojan Bogdanovic is one of the highest-performing rookies so far this season, averaging 11 points a game. He shouldn’t even really count as a rookie though. 25 years old? This guy isn’t some fresh-faced kid. He’s a stout-hearted three-point assassin, his skills honed in the Euroleagues. He had another good game tonight, his stats only…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad 17 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights
Do not be deceived by my YouTube-enabled trickery. Shabazz Muhammad did not have a particularly good game on this outing. 6-of-15 shooting is not a very good mark, although his three dunks were a “SICK SHOW!!!!!” Bazz still only has one move, and if he ever wants to be a consistent scorer, he needs more…
Read MoreAnderson Varejao 23 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2014)
The Cavs’ failures up to this point in the season, while bringing happiness and joy into my otherwise dull life, are probably not going to continue. They’re just too stacked. So, I’m going to enjoy their suckitude for the time being and try not to think how pissed I’m going to be when they make…
Read MoreJared Sullinger 23 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2014)
Some wise person once said, “you don’t know what you have until it’s gone.” That’s how I feel right now about Tommy Heinsohn. Sure, his dementia-induced rambling gets pretty annoying after the first twenty seconds, but there’s no other way to properly listen to a Celtics broadcast. Scalabrine is okay, but he doesn’t have that…
Read MoreTimofey Mozgov 17 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights
“Hey Mozz, you got any plans for after the game?” asked Gary Harris, approaching a sweaty Timofey Mozgov in the locker room. “Some of the other guys said you’re a pretty wild dude.” Timofey’s stony look of tiredness broke into a large smile. “This is true, yes. I like to party in the Russian way….
Read MoreTobias Harris 25 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2014)
Tobias Harris continues to have good games. He’s up to 30th in the league in points per game. Vucevic is 26th, Fournier is 41st. So why do the Magic keep losing? I have no answers, since I don’t actually watch the Magic very much (there are a lot of teams to try and keep tabs…
Read MoreAmar’e Stoudemire 19 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2014)
The Knicks are really bad again this year. This keeps happening. I’ve been trying to pinpoint some of the reason’s that they are consistently disappointing even their pessimistic fanbase: – They are the Knicks – Shane Larkin is no Jose Calderon – Carmelo is always thinking about playing with Derrick Rose – Dalembert is not…
