Sometimes I have to go back and re-read my old descriptions to remember what my opinions used to be. Things change so fast in the NBA that I can be right one day and totally wrong the next. Luckily I am mostly right, except when I called John Wall a bust just because he was…

Paul Millsap 22 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2014)
The mood in the locker room was subdued; most of the Hawks players were silently contemplating their own role in the blowout loss they had just suffered against the Bucks. However, the always upbeat Kent Bazemore was chatting to Paul Millsap about his good performance. “You did great out there, Paul. Just bring it again…
Read MoreJohnny O’Bryant 12 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2014)
I was content to hold off on assigning Johnny O’Bryant a nickname until he established himself in the league. I was thinking that would be a year or two. However, things have progressed rapidly for O’Bryant, and he has now started several games in a row for the Bucks. The time is now to christen…
Read MoreBeno Udrih 17 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2014)
What’s up with Balkan people and having really tiny eyes? Bueno Beno’s face looks like it was photoshopped, that’s how small his eyes are. Toni Kukoc suffered the same problem. However, the “smallest ever NBA eyes” award goes to Marko Jaric, who actually had to use sonar to locate defenders since his eyes weren’t big…
Read MoreMarcus Morris 20 Points/6 Threes/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/26/2014)
Marcus Morris woke up from his sleep slowly. As his brain brought itself up to speed, he noticed that his bed felt different. It was softer than he liked. Eyes snapping open, he saw that he was not in his own bed at all. A desert dawn-light sneaked through the cracks in the blinds, illuminating…
Read MoreJared Dudley 24 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (12/26/2014)
More apologies are in order. A week ago, I made a Jared Dudley highlight video wherein he scored 19 points. This seemed like a perfectly reasonable thing to do at the time. I know now that I have grievously wasted many people’s times with that video. Why would you watch Dudders score 19 when you…
Read MoreAndre Drummond 20 Points/7 Post Moves Full Highlights (12/26/2014)
I don’t know if this sudden explosion of back-to-the-basket proficiency and Josh Smith getting traded have anything to do with each other, but the timing is kind of funny. It has been known since the beginning of the season the SVG wants Andre Drummond to be a traditional post-up kind of center, and is willing…
Read MoreWesley Matthews 25 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/26/2014)
Quietly, without anyone noticing, Wesley Matthews snuck into the NBA league office. It was late, and the only security guard on duty was taking a not-very-well-earned nap. There was nothing of true value here, unless one considered fake plants and other generic cubicle farm detritus “valuable”. Wesley wasn’t here for that stuff. Damian Lillard had…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 22 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2014)
“Now that’s the good news in this game is that even though Minnesota hasn’t played particularly well Andrew Wiggins has played great” That’s what Timberwolves fans have to deal with this year. Oh, your team really sucks and is almost no fun to watch because all the young talent is inconsistent, but hey sometimes Andrew…
Read MoreCory Joseph Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2014)
Dang, I’m sorry. You know that Christmas gift I lovingly prepared for you? The Cory Joseph 14 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights? In the manner of a piece of technology, it is out of date hardly after being received. How was I supposed to know that Cory Joseph would trump his performance the very next day?…
