Mike Scott sat in an isolated corner of the locker room, his back toward the rest of his team, a black cloak over his shoulders. He appeared to be concentrating very intently on something. Curious, Kyle Korver sidled over, close enough to hear mumbled words coming out of his teammate’s mouth. “Nine of Wands –…

Marcus Smart 14 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/19/2015)
I don’t want to cause a huge racial stir, on this day of celebration for one Martin Luther King, but there is something I want to point out, a difference that proves blacks and whites can never truly be equal. Black people really have it good, because if their face happens to be totally covered…
Read MoreLangston Galloway 21 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2015)
It’s easy to forget that Langston Galloway is still just a rookie. He has a certain poise to his game that belies his inexperience. He sometimes gets hyped up after a big play, but most of the time he has the same grizzled vet expression on his face, an expression that says “I’ve done this…
Read MoreJames McAdoo 11 Points Warriors Debut Full Highlights (1/19/2015)
Perfect timing for James McAdoo. He gets his NBA callup, the dream for all D-Leaguers. Normally you wouldn’t expect a player like him to get minutes right away, but the Warriors did him a favor and blew out the Nuggets so bad that he got to play a whole quarter and change! Nothing like some…
Read MoreRudy Gobert 13 Points/18 Rebounds/4 Blocks Full Highlights (1/18/2015)
I’ve absolutely run out of things to say about Rudy Gobert. Does anything really need to be said at all? Watching his highlights is enough. Alright, I’ll say one thing. That block on the Baynger was NASTY.
Read MoreElfrid Payton 19 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/18/2015)
One of the positives of the Magic being this bad (again), is that we get to see young talent blossom before our eyes. The husks of Ben Gordon and Willie Green barely get playing time anymore, replaced by Devyn Marble and Elfrid “Elvenefrid” Payton. I don’t know if what Marble is doing could be considered…
Read MoreAlexis Ajinca Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2015)
Alexis Ajinca has straight gangstered the last two games. However, for a guy named after the most dominant leader in all of antiquity, Alexander the Great, this is to be expected. With such a powerful and conquering nominal lineage, anything less than a constant display of post move prowess would be a disappointment. Did you…
Read MoreNene 20 Points Full Highlights (1/17/2015)
“Marcin, do you ever think about…getting old?” Marcin Gortat looked over to where Nene was studying his reflection in the mirror. “Sometimes. Why you ask?” Nene pulled at his beard and shook his head. “I’m getting gray hairs on my face, man. I’m not ready to get old. I’m not ready to die.” “I think…
Read MoreRobbie Hummel 15 Points Full Highlights (1/17/2015)
Crystal white like the Minnesota snows Why he’s in the league, nobody knows Hey, let’s run him at point guard If Zach can do it, it’s not that hard Making defenses pay with his shooting His hype train rolls along a-tooting Signed to the team because of his skin pigment His ability to jump is…
Read MoreAnthony Tolliver 16 Points Full Highlights (1/17/2015)
Every time I see Anthony Tolliver attempt a layup, he flails through the air like a maniac and looks like he’s going to tumble over. It’s like he doesn’t have the balance necessary to keep himself in control when he’s going that fast. It’s even weirder because he doesn’t elevate at all, but in the…
