One has to wonder at this point whether Nick Young will EVER be part of a competitive team. He’s thirty years old; in DTB’s book, that means you’re too old to ever do anything good again, even if you were good to start with, which Nick Young definitely wasn’t. So there is little chance of…

Nikola Jokic 10 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2015)
I just googled what time it is right now in Serbia: roughly 2:30 in the afternoon. I don’t understand how timezones work so I’m just going to assume Google is right on this one. In my opinion we should get rid of timezones because all this magical time-travel mumbo-jumbo is pissing me off. What happens…
Read MoreGeorge Hill 23 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2015)
George Hill browsed the internet as he did every morning, looking for mentions of his name on all the biggest websites and discussion forums. As usual, his search was mostly fruitless. On this morning, his text file of mentions only included three entries: “George Hill and Jordan Hill on the same team is making me…
Read MoreDoug McDermott 18 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/9/2015)
Am I the only one who thinks that, after he retires, Doug McDermott should open up a fast-casual burger joint called McBuckets? Offering customers high-quality burgers with fancy toppings, made to order, in a bucket with fresh-cut fries thrown in alongside. Instead of normal cups filled with soda, provide mini-buckets for beverage consumption. This is…
Read MoreStanley Johnson 20 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2015)
Let this be a lesson: never proclaim that your team’s rookie is going to be able to contribute positively right away unless they are FOR SURE a CAN’T MISS prospect (like LeBron) and also a top five pick. Stanley Johnson had a great preseason, definitely. Looked really good out there, scored a bunch, had his…
Read MoreEmmanuel Mudiay 18 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (11/9/2015)
Emmanuel Mudiay is suffering in the normal ways of a rookie point guard. He can’t shoot with any sort of efficiency, so he compensates by shooting a lot. Gotta score somehow! He can pass it pretty well, both to his own team and to the other team in about equal measures. And that’s all okay….
Read MoreMyles Turner 10 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2015)
It’s getting to the point in the season where 10 point performances, even by a rookie who I’m hyped for, aren’t going to be worthy of highlights. That’s just how it is. Myles Turner has played in a bunch of games now, and until he scores 13 or something I’m not going to spend my…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins Career High 33 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2015)
Relaxing in his condo after another tough workout, Andrew Wiggins felt himself drifting away once again. He sighed, knowing what was to come, but powerless to stop it. He closed his eyes and let the blackness overtake him. He came to in a familiar place. An industrial-looking training facility in a nondescript inner-city warehouse, seemingly…
