The Rockets are so screwed. Losing to the Mavericks isn’t so bad on the face of it, but this isn’t any old Mavericks team. This is a Mavericks team with Dirk taken out and Charlie Villanueva put in his place! Say what you will about Dirk being old and not all that good, but anything…

Kris Humphries 23 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/14/2015)
“Are you really sure about this? Seems kind of in poor taste to me.” Kelly Oubre said, looking doubtfully at the watermelons. Bradley Beal smirked as John Wall, standing next to him, nodded vigorously. “Poor taste? Who cares? We’re gonna really make Kris look like a fool this time, and you’re just the guy to…
Read MoreRaymond Felton 23 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2015)
Consider DownToBuck among the legions of fans who assumed that Raymond “Fatty” Felton was totally done. He didn’t look like much last year with the Mavericks, and even though he’s not that old really, I assumed that that would be the end of him in the NBA. Have fun in China, RayRay! These were commonly…
Read MoreMario Chalmers 11 Points Grizzlies Debut Full Highlights (11/13/2015)
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…
Read MoreIan 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…
