Would you say that Enes Kanter was “bogarting” people tonight? Because that’s what the Jazz announcers seem to think he was doing. Where I come from (Wiscompton), bogarting means hogging the weed. No more, no less. There are no other definitions. You can possibly stretch to mean hogging the Doritos, or some other communal item,…

Carl Landry 14 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2014)
Previously I had thought that you needed to accomplish something major before you did a biceps-flexing pose. It turns out I was mistaken! As Carl Landry illustrates, even minor successes can be celebrated in this manner. For example, if you rip away a rebound from somebody, then do a drop-step and elevate six inches off…

This is getting re-goddamn-diculous. I don’t even WANT to make Rasual Butler highlights. Nobody cares about this old man. Nobody ever did. But he scored 23 points, and he’s a total scrub, so guess what? I’m making Rasual Butler highlights. And now I’m writing a Rasual Butler description. I guess I’ll just throw some Rasual…

“You think you can just go waltzing through our neighborhood, punk?” Ryan Anderson drifted in and out of consciousness. He could not respond, even if he had the mental acumen to do so; he was bound and gagged, laying on the rough hardwood floor of some abandoned New Orleans house. “I said, you think you…
Read MoreDante Exum 12 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2014)
I’m really impressed by Dante Exum. He still isn’t taking any midrange shots, which are the bread and butter of any efficient NBA player, but his outside shot is coming along nicely. Also his ACL’s are both intact. There appears to be a psychic connection between Exum and countryman Joe Ingles, evidenced by the prescient…
