“He’s playing like he’s in his prime right now.” What the flip is that supposed to mean? This is almost as confusing a remark from the Jazz commentators as “He’s an elite player” in reference to Alec Burks. It would be a kind of understandable thing to say if Rodney Hood was playing particularly well…

Allen Crabbe Career High 17 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2015)
Good to see you again! I hope you have your book report ready to turn in! 10 pages front-and-back, single-spaced on how the “Harry Potter” series is different when you replace all instances of the character Vincent Crabbe with Allen Crabbe. What do you mean, you only got through the first few chapters of the…
Read MoreMarcus Smart Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2015)
Something is wrong with me. A grievous affliction, of unknown origin. I have talked to many a medical professionals, and even after repeated examinations, they can find no illness, no malady, that explains what has been tormenting me. I can’t get hyped for Marcus Smart. My hype-forming glands are still in perfect working order. This…
Read MoreZach LaVine 25 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2015)
How much veteran wisdom do you think Kevin Garnett dispenses on a daily basis? Is it like a wisdom trickle, or a wisdom torrent? He obviously has a lot of it to share, since he’s the vettest vet in the whole league, but if I were him, I’d guard my secrets carefully and only divulge…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 33 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2015)
Has a three-person commentary team ever succeeded in the NBA? This is a serious question posed in a serious manner. Because, honestly, every time a team tries to field three TV commentators at the same, it just totally sucks. There’s a color-man, and there’s an analyst. What’s the third person? Random jokes guy? Player anecdotes…
Read MoreGarrett Temple Career High 18 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2015)
Garrett “Legends of the Hidden” Temple has surprised me by sticking around in the league as long as he has. He convinced the Wizards to give him a multi-year contract a few years ago, and at this point, it wouldn’t shock me if he convinced them to give him another one once his current contract…
Read MoreTerrence Jones 23 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2015)
So, this is it. This is my fate. Cursed to make “Terrence Jones 23 Points Full Highlights” videos until my failing lungs push my last rattling breath through my gasping, toothless mouth. So it was yesterday, so it is today, so it will be tomorrow. Or the day after, depending on when the Rockets next…
Read MoreJason Terry 19 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/14/2015)
Jason Terry sat across the table from the old man. “One more year. That’s all I’m asking from you. One more year.” The old man retrieved a pocketwatch from his robe. He observed it for a long time. The only movement was the ticking of the second hand and the imperceptible progression of the hour…
Read MoreThaddeus Young 26 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2015)
Would have been nice to see the horrible Nets give the unbeatable Warriors their first loss. Quite the upset in the making, and it had to be ruined. Damn you Iguodala! I blame him. Why does he have to shine so bright in the big moments? I also blame Thaddeus Young. All he had to…
Read MoreJahlil Okafor 21 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2015)
I know it’s been mentioned a lot, especially before the draft, but man, Jahlil Okafor’s hands are BIG. He palms the ball like it’s a grapefruit. I hadn’t really noticed the effect in-game before, and now that I have, it’s just blowing my mind. Blowing my mind in much the same way as if Jahlil…
