Every time I do Derrick Favors highlights, the Jazz commentators go on about “He’s getting so much more confident” and “He wasn’t doing that a year ago” and “He’s improving before our eyes”. That’s all well and good, but if D-Faves was really improving at that rate, wouldn’t we have an All-Star by now? One…

Victor Oladipo 22 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2014)
The Orlando Magic have tanked so well that they have reached an unenviable position of having too many young players to properly develop them all. Andrew Nicholson and Devyn Marble might as well just stay in their beds all day for the amount of minutes Jacque-Off Vaughn will give them. But the guard situation is…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2014)
I’m trying to figure out if the Raptors are REALLY good, or just, you know, really good. Because they’ve looked like contenders so far this season, kind of. I say kind of because their roster doesn’t scream “These guys are going to win a chip and fill a hot tub full of champagne!” to me….
Read MoreDamjan Rudez 11 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2014)
Damjan Rudez: next Dirk? Let’s look at the checklist for next Dirk status. Above average height? Check. Lack of skin pigmentation? Check. From a European Union Member State? Check. Name starts with D? Check. No one really knows how to pronounce said name? Check. Shoots threes? Check. There you have it. If you need more…
Read MoreDonald Sloan 29 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2014)
Donald Sloan opened the wooden door with caution. He knew what had occurred last time something like this happened, and he wanted to be prepared for anything. He stepped into a familiar yet unfamiliar scene, closing the door behind him, which promptly vanished. It was a typical bar; a few smoky tables occupied by drunken…
Read MoreJoe Ingles 11 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2014)
Terrified denizens ran through the streets of downtown Chicago. Some ran, not knowing what they were running from, but hearing the sounds of destruction from a few blocks away. Others, who had already seen the creature, ran with renewed haste, as they knew that they did not want to ever see it again. More screams…
Read MoreTravis Wear 9 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2014)
Wow, these highlights turned out really short. “Of course they did, DownToBuck, Travis only had 9 points!”. I know that. Do you think I didn’t know that going in? I was banking on the 2 assists that he had to puff up the length to maybe a minute or so. As it turns out, those…
Read MoreHenry Sims 22 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2014)
Does anyone know the address of the 76ers play-by-play guy? He sounded really down tonight after Philly lost again. Like, really down. Super morose. The way he said that Henry Sims was only two points off his career high was unsettling. The “I don’t know if I want to wake up tomorrow” kind of unsettling….
Read MoreAron Baynes 10 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (11/24/2014)
Aron “Baynes Bus” Baynes dunked it twice in this video, but you would hardly know that he did, because the Spurs video crew failed to show a replay of either one. I think their priorities might be a little messed up over there. When an Australian guy dunks it, you know that the Australians are…
