Norris Cole 19 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2015)

Okay, maybe I’m showing off my ignorance here, but I really need somebody to explain something to me. What’s up with the little “swoop” cuts that people put into their hair these days? The first time I saw one I thought somebody had just gotten distracted while using their trimmer, but as I saw it…

Hassan Whiteside 17 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2015)

I don’t blame Alex Len at all. If I was getting dunked on time after time with no end in sight, it would take a lot less than an errant arm to the head before I started getting violent with people. I would be shoving and swearing the first time somebody grazed me with their…

Tyler Johnson Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2015)

The Tyler Johnson era is not over yet! I incorrectly declared it such in an earlier video, right after Goran Dragic got signed, a signing that would seem to spell doom for Tyler and his minutes. I am happy to be wrong, in this case; this dude is a really rad player who gives hope…

Amar’e Stoudemire 14 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2015)

Amar’e Stoudemire: -14 in 22 minutes, scoring 14 points. Bernard James +23 in 25 minutes, scoring 0 points. Yes, I understand the folly of using plus-minus for analyzing a single game. But it still illustrates a point: Stoudemire probably doesn’t make any team better at this point in his career. He can still dunk, in…

Ricky Rubio Triple Double 18 Pts/11 Asts/12 Rebs Full Highlights (3/2/2015)

“Hey Ricky, great game tonight, made me really feel like I was playin’ with Marbury again, ‘cept of course he ain’t never pass me the ball, and I ain’t know if he ever got a triple-double.” Kevin Garnett walked up to his point guard, hands behind his back. Ricky Rubio turned to face the veteran…

Andrew Bogut 16 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/2/2015)

I haven’t been watching every game for the Warriors this year, but it seems Bogut is still doing what he has always done, since he was a rookie in Milwaukee. Having pube games. Named for his puby facial growth, a “pube game” is a contest where Bogut does not display full effort, looking lazy and…

Ish Smith Career High 19 Points/Career High 9 Assists Full Highlights (3/2/2015)

Ah yes, the fabled “career-high in career-highs”. The most storied of all basketball accomplishments. A performance so far out of the norm, that all one can do is gaze with childlike awe at the expertly compiled highlight package. No surprise that Ish “Dish” Smith achieved this accolade while a member of the 76ers, a team…

Luis Scola 15 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2015)

“A two-pronged attack at Queen Charlotte Bay and the Byron Sound…that should be enough to retake the west island,” Luis Scola mumbled, standing above a table-sized map of the Falkland Islands. He pushed little figurines to an fro. “West Point would be ours in a day, the perfect base for the rest of our operation…”…

Cody Zeller 16 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (3/1/2015)

New theory: perhaps the reason why Cody “Zody” Zeller has looked like a bust most of his career is because he played with a point guard who didn’t want to pass (Kemba Walker). Now that he gets to play for a while with a more effective ball-distributor in Mo Williams, he starts to look like…

Jeremy Lamb 14 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2015)

With each game where Jeremy Lamb received a “DNP – Coach’s Decision”, Scott Brooks further cements his well-earned status as the worst coach in the league. Tonight he had no choice, and Jeremy was unwillingly allowed to play some actual meaningful basketball. And look what happened. 14 points, good efficiency, stuff that the Thunder could…
