Standing in the huddle during a timeout, Marreese Speights listened intently to his coach. There was still a lot of time left, and they needed to make a focused effort to regroup. Suddenly, a sharp pain exploded through Marreese’s head. He clutched at the apparent source, the bump on the top of his shaved head….

Travis Wear 11 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (1/7/2015)
I have an unofficial policy where I try to make all my videos at least a minute long. You may notice that on some of the shorter videos, I show unnecessary amounts of play before and after the shot just to take up space. Well, this time I utilized that technique, but I could only…
Read MoreSolomon Hill 21 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2015)
Solomon Hill walked up to Donald Sloan after the game. He looked around furtively before asking his question. “Hey man, do you know anything about…the Hall of the Thirty-Point Scorers?” he whispered. Donald started. “You ain’t supposed to know about that place,” he whispered back furiously. “Who told you?” “You know, people…” Solomon responded vaguely….
Read MoreAnthony Bennett 14 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2015)
Anthony Bennett has all the tools to prove me wrong when I say this: he is simply a colossal bust. He’s big, he has some touch on his jumpers, and he rebounds pretty good. If he was a late first-rounder or even a late lottery pick, people would be okay with his performance so far….
Read MoreJordan Clarkson 14 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2015)
Jordan Clarkson seems like the perfect kind of rookie for the Lakers. He’s not especially young (though he looks like he’s about 14 or 15) for a first-year player, so he’s a little more polished as a scorer. The Lakers don’t need some total neophyte project in the second round. They need somebody who can…
Read MoreRudy Gobert 11 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (1/7/2015)
Rudy Gobert looked out his hotel window at the Chicago skyline. He loved the big cities, anywhere in the world, but Chicago was one of his favorites. The skyscrapers, majestic in their immensity, reminded him of himself; too tall for the surroundings. The game was in a few hours, but he knew what he had…
Read MoreD.J. Augustin 26 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2015)
Alright, so DJ Augustin sucking to start the year was definitely because of Josh Smith’s opposite Midas touch. His struggles along with the struggles of his entire team were due to one player’s penchant for shooting bad jumpers. That was sarcasm. I’m not convinced that Josh Smith has much to do with the successes of…
Read MorePero Antic 13 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2015)
Fans of Macedonian basketball are surely saddened by the lack of playing time for their country’s sole NBA representative, Pero Antic. There’s not much to be done about it. Al Horford is finally healthy again, and he’s getting the bulk of the minutes at center, as he should. Last year’s “everyone in the starting lineup…
