“Alcohollis” Thompson really caught the attention of the Heat commentators this game. They characterized him as a “big who can shoot”, when he’s really just a “wing who can shoot” (a much more common find in the NBA). This again proves that the commentators are more for entertainment than informational purposes, but we already knew…

Adreian Payne 11 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2015)
“Wow, eleven points in his first start, pretty good game for the rook,” you might say as you struggle to decide whether or not you really watch this video. Throw off the chains of deception, I command you! Adreian Payne did indeed score eleven points in his first start. However, the critical piece of missing…
Read MoreLuke Babbitt 18 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (2/23/2015)
“That was a pretty good win tonight, huh? All thanks to me.” Luke Babbitt stared at the locker room mirror, his brow furrowed. “All thanks to you? I think you’re forgetting who actually takes and makes the shots here. Your presence is a help, no doubt about it, but what would you be without me?…
Read MoreWill Barton 15 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (2/23/2015)
Whoa. Will Barton shot 9 of 65 from three his rookie year. I knew he was kind of an awkward jump shooter, really more of a slasher, but crap. That makes the triple he made tonight way more impressive than either of the dunks he threw down. Barton has always been one of those “potential”…
Read MoreMarkel Brown 10 Points/11 Rebounds/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/23/2015)
10 points, 11 rebounds, 4 blocks. If you asked me which young Nets prospect accumulated that statline, I would say without hesitation “Cory Jefferson”. If you told me I was incorrect, I would then guess Mason Plumlee, then Cory Jefferson again, followed by Jerome Jordan, Bojan Bogdanovic, Sergey Karasev, and then maybe Markel Brown, if…
Read MoreDanilo Gallinari 22 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2015)
The Nuggets, as a whole, are super depressing to watch right now. What happened to the exciting team that they used to have? Even if the personnel is worse, the energy level should be the same, right? Trading noted energy-provider JaVale McGee must have really hurt, since this current group is just sleepwalking through games…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 30 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2015)
Happy 20th birthday Andrew Wiggins! You are now, officially, a “young adult”, a highly sought after distinction. You still can’t drink booze legally, but you can, uh, score 30 points in an NBA game? That doesn’t seem right. And what a 20th birthday it was! Breaking Michael Beasley’s record for most 20th birthday points (a…
Read MoreHenry Walker 11 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (2/23/2015)
I was excited to see Henry Walker in a Heat uniform. A freshly minted D-League scrub, ready to scrap for minutes as the Heat battle for a playoff spot? Sign me up. I love D-League scrubs. Imagine my sadness when I find out that this is just Bill Walker with a new name (and looking…
