It looks like the Spurs have found their backup point guard in Cory Joseph. However, his contract is up after this year, and they’ll have to pay him like one. Will they even bother? Patty Mills just landed a sweet new contract to be the backup. If they want to move Patty to SG ala…

Tiago Splitter 16 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2015)
I could have put “2 Dunks” in the title of this video, but I didn’t. Why? Because they were lame. All he did was catch it under the basket and gently throw it in. He didn’t even grab the rim. If Dwight got those looks, he would have hung on the rim like a monkey,…
Read MorePatty Mills 15 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2015)
Patty Mills walked through the mall, looking for a present that he could send back home for his cousin’s birthday. Gazing idly into the display windows, he dismissed most of the products he saw. The preferences of Americans were much different than those of an Aboriginal Australian. He looked up to see what the next…

Read MoreMichael Kidd-Gilchrist 17 Points/3 New Jumpshots Full Highlights (1/3/2015)
I have to give the Charlotte coaching staff credit. They really did a great job fixing Michael Kidd-Gilchrist’s much-mocked jumpshot. The form is still kind of messed up though. It’s hard to change a lifetime of messed up repetition, so every time he shoots his arms still want to do the same old routine. I…
Read MoreRobert Covington 23 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2015)
If you go back to my first Robert Covington vid this year, you will see how excited I was to finally be able to compile highlights of him. That excitement is gone now. He’s proven himself to be a pretty good scorer, especially for a team as flawed as the 76ers. That’s great. I’m happy…
Read MoreJordan Adams 12 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2015)
Sweet! Now I kind of know who Jordan Adams is. I kind of had in my head a short point-guardish player who really liked to shoot tons of awkward looking threes. Turns out I was thinking of Michael Adams! Silly me. As is the case with any middling rookie on a contending team, Adams doesn’t…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 11 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (1/3/2015)
Some people have been wondering why I have neglected to do Jusuf Nurkic highlights so far this season. Normally such inquiries don’t warrant a response; it’s either because the player in question is too good, or too bad. I don’t do Harden scoring a ton of points, and I don’t do the lesser Dragic scoring…
Read MoreHassan Whiteside Career High 14 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (1/3/2015)
It’s taken a few years, but a team has finally figured out how much upside Hassan Whiteside has. I probably won’t even use his name to refer to him, just “Upside” will suffice. Upside was cruelly relegated to Lebanon after not getting much burn with the Kings in his first two years. There was a…
Read MoreRudy Gobert 13 Points/6 Blocks Full Highlights (1/3/2015)
Here’s a thought exercise for you. How many shots would you not have blocked if you played Rudy Gobert in a game of one-on-one? Half of them? A few? None? It depends on your basketball skill-level, obviously. NBA players can get most of them past him, but someone like me would be hard-pressed to have…
