I thought Mario Chalmers was supposed to be a Heat for life. It seemed like he was getting the Udonis Haslem treatment of being a marginal starter but still being treated loyally by the organization. So much for that. A Chalmers-Udrih swap doesn’t seem to move the needle, except for the steroid needles that Udrih…

Ian Mahinmi 12 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2015)
Dear Ian, Casting all introductions aside, I must apologize for how I have treated you in the opening weeks of this season. My behavior was inexcusable, and I will no longer pretend that my actions had no effect on those around me. As you are well aware, you have had multiple double-digit scoring games this…
Read MoreGlenn Robinson III 11 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2015)
“Hey Glenn! Hey!” Glenn Robinson, on his way to his car after a morning practice, turned around to find Paul George addressing him. “I already told you, man, I’m not a rookie, so if you want me to carry your bags out to your car, it’s not happening.” Paul rolled his eyes. “Duh. I know…
Read MoreTerrence Jones 23 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2015)
There must be something wrong with the Rockets. Currently at 4-5, they’re not meeting preseason expectations, or any expectations really. Terrence Jones is a certified baller so there must be other factors at play. -Harden has regressed. Two words: beard rot -Howard shows up to games about half the time. The other half he goes…

Jostling Opposite Randle, D’Angelo And Nance, Clarkson Lacks Any Reason Kobe Shouldn’t Overexert Now
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 20 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2015)
I haven’t heard as many complaints about Jonas Valanciunas this year from Raptors’ fans. I haven’t noticed any great improvement in his game so far this season, but I can think of a good reason why that would be. Once the Toronto faithful saw the horrors of Bismack Biyombo’s offense, I’m sure anything else would…
Read MoreWill Barton Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2015)
I’m looking at the Nuggets roster right now, at the first thought that comes to mind is “who in the heck is going to score the ball for this team?” Danilo Gallinari is the number one option, which is already iffy, and after that, things get really weird. Randy Foye? Jameer Nelson? We all know…
Read MoreChristian Wood 15 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2015)
Another day, another random Sixers rookie doing basketball-y things on an NBA basketball court. Continuing in the proud tradition of Philadelphia scrubs like Drew Gordon, Larry Drew II, and Tim Frazier, Christian Wood at one point flashed enough potential that someone in the Sixers’ FO said “Screw it, this guy can jump and stuff!” Jump,…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 28 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2015)
The little Nicolas Batum sat restlessly with his parents in the waiting room at the child psychologist’s office. His mom looked over to him. “Stop fidgeting, Nic, you’re making me nervous.” She then glanced at her husband, who looked very much like he’d rather be anywhere else, and was staring at the floor determinedly. “But…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 26 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2015)
This may come off as heresy, given my nominal status as a Bucks fan, but I would so rather have Andrew Wiggins than Jabari Parker right now. There’s just no comparison. If Jabari scored 26 points tonight in the manner that Wiggins just did, everyone would freak out. Nonstop. But when Wiggins actually does do…
