If I ever want to relive good memories, I go back to watching highlights of the Mavericks dropping 20 three-pointers on the Lakers in the 2011 playoffs. Jason Terry hit nine out of ten threes in that game, and he did a lot of that “flying airplane” celebration that’s both lame and cool at the…

Ersan Ilyasova 18 Points Full Highlights (11/29/14)
Ersan Ilyasova is doing Ilyasova things so far this season. Namely, starting off really badly and then improving as the season goes along. Does this dude just not work out at all during the summer? He didn’t even have the “Gotta play for my national team, Egemenlik, kayıtsız şartsız Milletindir” excuse this year. Anyway, his…
Read MoreDonatas Motiejunas 20 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2014)
From the fabled lands of Lithuania comes Donatas Motiejunas, a proud warrior whose Lithuanian blood is pumped by a heart made out of pure Baltic steel. Said to have descended from King Mindaugas himself, Motiejunas is a shining example of the strength and purity of the Lithuanian race. A kingdom which once spanned parts of…
Read MoreCharlie Villanueva 11 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (11/29/2014)
Charlie “Alopecia” Villanueva has always been an absolute chuckmaster. When he gets in the game, all he ever looks to do is score. This can be a valuable trait, and in fact, it was a valuable trait for the first few years of Charlie’s career, but his percentages now range from “pathetic” to “sad”. If…
Read MoreK.J. McDaniels 21 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2014)
Pop quiz time (I hope you studied). On this quiz, there’s just one question, so it shouldn’t be too hard unless you’re a moron. Question 1: How Much of a Beast is K.J. McDaniels? a.) Not much of a beast at all b.) He only looks like a beast because everybody else on his team…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 12 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2014)
It was early in Atlanta, the city just making its first stirrings of activity. The morning sun had not yet begun its slow ascent over the horizon. The clock struck 6, and the alarm sounded. It may has well not have. Dennis Schröder, his body trained to a strict daily schedule, had already awoken the…
Read MoreAlexey Shved 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/29/2014)
Alexey Shved sat happily in his downtown Philadelphia apartment. He had eschewed the normal trappings of an NBA player; his residence looked like it was dwelt in by a lonely Russian with an alcohol problem and no money. Only the first part was true, as evidenced by the extremely expensive bottle of vodka he was…
Read MoreGordon Hayward 30 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2014)
I feel so bad for Gordon Hayward. It must be so embarrassing to be in your mid-20s and still have a face that looks like it’s smiling from a kid’s TV show. And once you get to be that age, you know you’re going to be stuck with your babyface forever. There’s nothing to do…
Read MorePJ Hairston 15 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2014)
“What is wrong with the Charlotte Hornets?” is the common refrain of the nowadays NBA fan, their minds clouded by the ever-looming menace of Michael Jordan. The answer is that this whole thing could have been expected. I think the name and image change earned so much good will (as well it should have, those…
