Jason Terry 17 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/27/2015)
I know that Glen Davis has held the “NBA player who looks most like a turtle” crown for a long time, but there’s an overlooked player vying for that title who I feel like is being unfairly ignored by the media: Jason Terry. Yeah, Glen Davis has the fat body going for him, but Jason…

Al Jefferson could be said to suffer “Nikola Vucevic” syndrome. Actually, considering their respective ages, it’s probably the other way around. Nikola Vucevic suffers from “Al Jefferson” syndrome.

We’re getting into the home stretch of the regular season now. Yes, yes, I know, but please try not to cry on your keyboard. This is about the time when the non-playoff teams start to experiment with their younger guys. It would be that way for the Knicks as well, except that their whole season…

There was recently penned an article about why Jonas Valanciunas maybe doesn’t get as many minutes as everyone thinks he should. The reason? According to on-off stats, he totally tanks the team on both sides of the ball whenever he’s on the court despite his good box-score numbers! I call it the “Brandon Knight Effect”….
Read MoreJeremy Lin 18 Points Full Highlights (3/27/2015)
Certain people like to get mad at Byron Scott for not playing Jeremy Lin enough minutes. I understand their frustration; if I was a fan of only one player in the league, I would definitely want to see that player get tons of minutes. And Jeremy even deserves them, in this case. But these people…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 31 Points Full Highlights (3/27/2015)
Unfortunately, if this keeps up, I’m going to have to reconsider my current opinion of Andrew Wiggins, which is that he is a fun young player to watch. Have you seen his free throw attempts the last few games? It’s ridiculous, almost at a Harden level of getting contact. I don’t care whether the fouls…
