Doing his best not to get frustrated, Evan Turner whistled a tune while being stuck in barely-moving traffic. Highway congestion in Boston was notorious, and he would find himself randomly not moving for long stretches of time. Given new opportunity to observe his surroundings, he looked at the billboards which dotted the side of the…

Shabazz Muhammad 13 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2014)
Just forget about all the falderal surrounding Shabazz Muhammad in his high school days. It will only negatively color your perception of his play. Instead, think of him as some relatively obscure foreign player who had enough upside to be drafted in the middle of the first round. Suddenly, things seem brighter for the Shabazztard!…
Read MoreDennis Schröder Career High 11 Points/5 Steals Full Highlights (11/8/2014)
Dennis Schröder’s dour expression contrasted starkly with the merriment surround him. The “Wunderbar Weiner Platter” that was placed in front of him at the table was untouched. Seated around were his Atlanta Hawk’s teammates, all happily conversing and enjoying their food. Chants of “Eins, Zwei, Drei, sich betrinken!” emanated throughout the dimly lit space. Walking…
Read MoreKyle Korver 27 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/8/2014)
Now that Kyle Korver’s streak of whatever games with a made three is over, we can enjoy his performances for what they are, rather than in the framework of some arbitrary “record”. 6 threes in a single game is pretty good. For a lesser player, it would be a noteworthy achievement. But for Korver, it’s…
Read MoreSolomon Hill Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2014)
It’s still early in the season, but if I had to vote now, my choice for the “craziest performance by a scrub” award would go to Solomon Hill for this 28 outburst against the Wizz. It’s not entirely unexpected; Han Solomon has been getting big minutes in relief of all the dead people on the…
Read MoreDonatas Motiejunas 16 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2014)
D-Mo has gotten to off to an awful start to the season, playing tentatively while missing most of his shots anyway. Jeremy Lin can no longer be the scapegoat for the entirety of the Rockets’ problems, so we have to find a new one. Tarik Black perhaps? Yeah, why not. That guy is holding everybody…
Read MoreIsaiah Canaan Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2014)
That crazy system the Rockets’ D-League affiliate has where they just jack threes the whole game paid off last year when one of its products, Troy Daniels, hit a clutch three in the playoffs. That same system failed to provide dividends with Robert Covington. But Its paying off again with Isaiah Canaan, who had a…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 9 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2014)
You know what’s happening right now? I’m watching basketball. Why does the NBA torment me with midday weekend basketball during prime highlight making time? They know I won’t be able to the resist the allure of a Blazers-Clippers matchup. Damn, Lillard just hit a DEEP three. Anyway, yeah, Giannis has been pretty good this year….
Read MoreTyson Chandler 15 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (11/7/2014)
Explain to me how this is fair: Tyson Chandler can dunk. He can dunk so good that against NBA-level defenders, he gets to dunk four times. Meanwhile, I can’t even touch the net. Heck, I need a footstool just to reach the tall cupboards in my kitchen. The one and only time I dunked, it…
Read MoreLuc Richard Mbah a Moute 16 Points/2 Threes Full Highlights (11/7/2014)
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute has a special place in my heart, occupying space next to a dangerously-clogged artery and my memories of Sarah, the cute girl who lived across the street from me for one year in second grade. How has Luc gained access to this privileged part of my anatomy, you may ask….
