After getting beat up in the driveway of his own home by a crazed Harrison Barnes, Andre Iguodala has come to realize that, at this point in his career, he might be best as a sixth man kinda guy. I think this role can work out for him as long as his jumpshot switch remains…

Bruno Caboclo 8 Points/1 Dunk Raptors Debut Full Highlights (11/21/2014)
I’m super envious right now. The last time people were chanting my name was in the school cafeteria, when they wanted me to drink a huge jug full of tomato soup and chocolate milk combined. I drank the stuff, I thought they were my friends. Then they laughed. I can still hear their mockery, even…
Read MoreAlexey Shved 15 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/21/2014)
You know your team’s season has gone down the tubes when your commentators talk about an inferior sport in the middle of game action. During last night’s blowout loss, Mark Zumoff and Malik Rose actually discussed FOOTBALL (not the European kind) during the game. Not during timeouts or breaks. During the actual game. Not just…
Read MoreJaVale McGee 14 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (11/21/2014)
“JaVale, could you please put some clothes on?” asked a visibly annoyed Wilson Chandler. “Ain’t nobody want to see that stuff.” JaVale McGee made no move to clothe himself. “Some of us are comfortable with our bodies, Wilson. We all see each other naked in the shower, and as a man of maturity, it neither…
Read MoreDanilo Gallinari 17 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2014)
At the moment, Danilo Gallinari is the closest thing the Nuggets have to a star player, which really says something about their roster construction. With him slumping hard to start the season, the Nuggets could replace neither his scoring nor his gelled-up fauxhawk, so they slumped along with him. This is the first good game…
Read MoreMarc Gasol Career High 32 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2014)
Marc Gasol fiddled around on his computer, but he found himself unable to stay on any one webpage for more than a minute. His mind was far and away in another place. In the kitchen, he could hear that unmistakable whirring, the siren call of the microwave, and he knew that he would not be…
Read MoreJon Leuer 19 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2014)
New nomination for the Worst Nickname Ever award: “Johnny Badger”. I don’t even have to go into the myriad ways that this nickname sucks. Every conceivable facet, every angle from which this nickname could be approached, it all looks the same: like a big pile of badger feces. Despite his nickname suckage, which is not…
Read MoreRudy Gobert Career High 12 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (11/21/2014)
Rudy “Gogurt” Gobert has not yet made a shot outside of the paint during his time in the NBA. He has only attempted three. As admirable as it is to know one’s limitations and try to operate within them, the fact remains that Gobert will be merely a specialist player until he expands his range….
Read MoreK.J. McDaniels 17 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2014)
Sam Hinkie smiled as KJ McDaniels walked into his office. “Hey, KJ, good to see you. I am almost done with my work. Please, take a seat.” The rookie looked around warily and the office of his GM. It was furnished as one might expect; a lavish desk with a throne-like chair to sit on,…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 14 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2014)
The last good veteran player on the Timberwolves, Kevin Martin, is out indefinitely with an injury. You know what that means! Unadulterated tanking madness! Perhaps tanking isn’t the right word. They simply don’t have any choice right now but to play their young players and hope for the best. This should excite fans, like myself,…
