Robert Covington 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/12/2014)

For all the aimless signings and call-ups that the 76ers are doing, they actually found a useful guy in Robert Covington. That’s exactly why, when you suck, you need to be ready to let go of players in order to give somebody else a chance to prove themselves. If fifty different players suit up for…

Victor Oladipo 21 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2014)

You know who’s holding Victor Oladipo down? Evan Fournier. Victor is trying so desperately to raise himself to an All-Star caliber player, and Evan Fournier has chained him to the floor, his disgusting face curled up into a sneer. The Magic should never have traded for such a greasy-haired ballhog chucker. It’s like they don’t…

Evan Fournier 18 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2014)

Many weeks have passed without the cleansing light of the sun. Dark clouds roil overhead. The carrion birds circle. The terrible prophecy that the elders relayed to us is coming to pass. Evan Fournier isn’t doing as good with Victor Oladipo back in the lineup, just as the wise ones foretold. I was just sort…

Cory Joseph 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/12/2014)

For a point guard, Cory Joseph has shot very well from the field each of the past three seasons. Part of it is probably due to the effective offensive sets that the Spurs run, but probably more of it has to do with Cory Joseph actually being a superb backup point guard. Or… The Spurs…

Lou Williams 26 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/12/2014)

Lou Williams sat in his apartment, brand-new saxophone in hand. “Lou Williams is a really jazzy name,” he thought to himself as he looked at the shiny bronze instrument. “I must live up to the jazziness of my name by learning how to play jazz saxophone, and then I will be Lou Williams, famous jazz…

Kemba Walker 28 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/12/2014)

Is Kemba Walker just a shorter version of Dion Waiters? They’re two guys who are in love with bad shots despite having the speed and ball-handling skills to get any shot they want. They can both get teammates involved when they feel like it, which isn’t very often. Both are currently shooting sub-30% from three,…

Enes Kanter 25 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2014)

Wow, what a coincidence! As soon as shot-hogger and all-around malcontent DerrICK Favors goes down with an injury, the Kanterman goes and has one of the best scoring nights of his career! What a crazy timing of events that are probably not even related! Sarcasm aside, the Kanfaver combo hasn’t been as good as some…

Sergey Karasev 11 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2014)

I’m not sure I understand the train of thought that went into making Sergey Karasev a starter. Yeah, the Nets are short on small forwards right now, it’s basically him or Bojan. He’s also Russian, which is understandably appealing to the ownership. Those things should be reasons enough, but Sergey hasn’t shown anything at all…

Andre Drummond 23 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2014)

Poor Andre Drummond. The one time he makes a free throw, it actually turns out that it might have been better for him to miss it. A cruel turning of fate. He made it, though, and the Suns failed to get a shot, and the Pistons won, so it’s all good. I can’t imagine that…
