Man, some of these rookies are leaving it a little late to be making a push for the Rookie of the Year award. Elfrid Payton, Nerlens Noel, Nikola Mirotic, it’s like they got together for a meeting and said “You know, this Andrew Wiggins dude, he’s not even that good, someone else should try to…

Alexey Shved Career High 25 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (3/20/2015)
The Knicks. Hoo boy, the Knicks. I don’t think even one thing has gone right for them this season, unless you count “actually having their own draft pick this year”. They lack nearly entirely players who are willing to score the rock; it seems most everyone is content to not ever shoot. Enter Alexey “The…
Read MorePero Antic Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2015)
Sadly for Macedonian NBA fans everywhere (though mostly in Macedonia), Pero Antic has been pretty bad this year. Normally this would be concerning for a second year player, but as Pero as already 32 years old, a little regression is not unusual. He’s been really bad, though. 34% from the field for a 7-footer is…
Read MoreNerlens Noel Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2015)
Nerlens Noel is making a run at the Rookie of the Year award, according to absolutely unbiased sources in Philly. I’m not buying it. Not because he isn’t a good player, or because he isn’t one of the best rookies. It’s just that everyone knows that ROY is an award for whoever scores the most…
Read MoreLangston Galloway 21 Points Full Highlights (3/19/2015)
Langston “Gallstone” Galloway is pretty much the only reason I would ever tune in to a Knicks game these days. Him and that strung-out Russian guy. Watching these guys score buckets in the face of considerable adversity (no coach to speak of, no surrounding talent to take the pressure off, Spike Lee yelling obscenities) is…
Read MoreRandy Foye 23 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/19/2015)
Randy Foye is low-key having the worst season of his career right now. His 37% from the field is Brandon Jennings-esque and his 34% from three is not what we’ve come to expect from the Foyenicator. This prolonged slump, combined with him missing a ton of games with an injury, means that I shouldn’t be…
Read MoreGorgui Dieng 19 Points/6 Blocks Full Highlights (3/19/2015)
“Gorgui, I need some of your good old-fashioned West African widsom right now.” Zach LaVine had trundled over to Gorgui Dieng’s locker, looking sad. Gorgui turned to face him with a stern expression. “I seem to remember young Zach asking before for sage advice, but when Gorgui try to tell story of The Fish who…
Read MoreZach LaVine 20 Points Full Highlights (3/19/2015)
I don’t know what the hell Zach LaVine thought he was doing at the end of the game tonight against the Knicks. He made those 4 free throws at the end, knowing full well that a win would leave New York as the undisputed worst team in the league, thus making them the most likely…
Read MoreElfrid Payton Triple Double 15 Pts/12 Asts/10 Rebs Full Highlights (3/18/2015)
I would’ve taken the shot too. Just grabbed the last rebound for my triple double, dribbling up the court, the chance to take the go-ahead shot with 30 seconds left after trailing the whole game? I ain’t passing. That ball is going up, and it’s going in the hole. It’s what every kid dreams about….
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 19 Points Full Highlights (3/18/2015)
Fame is fleeting. Just as Giannis Antetokounmpo started putting up some monster scoring nights, the eye of the basketball public had already redirected its gaze to a new intriguing foreigner with insane physical gifts, Rudy Gobert. People still like Giannis and everything, but Rudy is the hotter topic right now. It doesn’t help that the…
