It is officially Gary Harris hype time. I can say this because the Nuggets don’t have anybody good on their roster anymore, so the potential for Gary Harris to get lots of minutes is very high. That is why I am allowed to decree that it is time to get hyped for Gary Harris. I…

Omri Casspi 22 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2015)
Omri Casspi is the perfect example of Stockholm Syndrome in the NBA. He started his career with a Kings franchise that was just as hapless then as it is now. He enjoyed some measure of individual success, although he was randomly inserted into and removed from the starting lineup by Paul Westphal, and his teammates…
Read MoreKyle Korver 22 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2015)
Who else was getting a little worried about Kyle Korver? Don’t be ashamed. We’re all a little bit guilty. It’s hard to root against players like Kyle, so when he started the season 5-of-20 from the threezone, I found that, for the first time in my life, I didn’t resent him for being a stunning,…
Read MoreNerlens Noel 18 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2015)
Nerlens Noel stood outside the bedroom. Inside, his lover was awaiting. He thought about all the advice that Luc Richard Mbah a Moute had given him, tried to recall it to the forefront of his mind, now, when he needed it the most. “Where are you, Luc?” Nerlens whispered in the dimmed hallway. But his…

This is why we wait ten games before calling someone a bust. Before ten games elapses, applying the bust label to someone just doesn’t make any sense. There is a certain adjustment period that must be granted to young players. After that period elapses, though, the NBA punditry can go to town. The minute the…
Read MoreCory Joseph 19 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2015)
I don’t even know why the Raptors bothered to pick Cory Joseph up. Well, I do (here’s a hint: starts with a “C”, end with an “anadian”), but when the Spurs fail to retain somebody, you know that there’s something really wrong with him. If he isn’t wanted by the best organization in the league,…
Read MoreJahlil Okafor 18 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2015)
Jesus Christ. Starting around 45 seconds into this video is the worst sequence of commentary that I’ve heard so far this year, easily beating out Stephanie Ready’s stilted “Oh no he didn’t!” from the last Hornets game. What’s up with teams replacing their perfectly good commentators with semi-literate drooling mongoloids? I liked Malik Rose. Don’t…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 19 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2015)
This video is a lot like the first album of Kelly Olynyk’s art-rock band Starcubism, entitled “Visions of Mars (Cubistic Journey Part I)”. Starcubism really hit the ball out of the park with their debut effort, combining technical space-rock with lush ambient soundscapes spiced up with native American instrumentation. So how is this video like…
