What a fortunate year for Shvedophiles! Alexey started off the year with the 76ers, one of the few times bad enough for him to find a significant role. He even had some good games amidst the tanking sadness! Then, he gets traded to the Rockets! A perfect opportunity to witness from the bench how a…

Luigi Datome 13 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (3/9/2015)
Yes! After many long months of waiting, Luigi Datome is getting playing time again! The heir apparent to Brian Scalabrine has appeared in Boston ready to do two things: eat spaghetti and kick ass. And he’s all out of spaghetti. I was always hyped for this dude, mainly because I have an irrational preference for…
Read MoreMaurice Harkless 14 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (3/8/2015)
Since being dragged to the damp, gloomy dungeon, the days had passed slowly for Moe Harkless. There had been no explanation for his arrest, only a group of thugs led by King Vaughn himself who had burst into his abode and beaten him into submission. When he regained consciousness, he was held by chains to…
Read MorePatty Mills 15 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2015)
“I don’t want to go!” Patty yelled from the backseat of the van he was riding in. “I’m telling you Tim, I’ve got this under control. Really.” Tim Duncan looked in the rear view mirror to see his teammate struggling against his straitjacket. Patty’s eye’s were wild with a mix of fear and insanity. “You…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/8/2015)
Everything that Terrence Ross does in his career will be viewed through the distorting lens of his 51-point game. It’s like Tony Delk; he was not a notable player in any respect except that one time he got super hot for a whole game. Or Brandon Jennings. Every time I watch that dude I think…
Read MoreShaun Livingston 21 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2015)
Am I the only one who gets uneasy on the basketball court after knowing what happened to Shaun Livingston’s knee? It’s like I don’t even want to jump or do any sudden moves, lest patellar pandemonium ensues. Granted, my vertical leap is not especially great, and my moves are not exactly explosive, but still. I…
Read MoreReggie Jackson 25 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2015)
Reggie Jackson has his own team now. All the reasons that were offered as explanations for his suckiness in OKC no longer apply. Except for the biggest one, the one that keeps Pistons fans awake at night as their FO mulls a large contract offer. That he just plain sucks. Maybe sucks isn’t the right…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 22 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2015)
Those who thought that Austin Rivers had turned a corner after his 28-point explosion a few weeks ago were surely disappointed with his followup performances. A combined 9-for-36, 25 percent, over the next 6 games. Yet he still continues to earn minutes, and I don’t even think it’s nepotism in this case. The Clipper’s depth…
Read MoreDante Exum 14 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (3/8/2015)
Dante “Wrecks ‘Em” Exum is kind of a bust right now. I’m just putting it out there, he could easily be good in a few years. However, at this exact moment in time, the ratio of his usefulness as a basketball player to his draft position equates out to him being a buster. Right now…
Read MoreKhris Middleton Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2015)
I love Khris Middleton, yet, paradoxically, I also hate Khris Middleton. He is playing so well on such a small contract. Next year, he’ll probably play just as well, except we’ll be paying him roughly twenty times as much money. How is that fair? Players should just get paid for every point they score. That…
