Dwight Powell did not consider himself a particularly well-written man, but nevertheless, he found himself a piece of paper and began to compose a letter. “Dear Tyson, I know that you hate the Mavs now. I can’t claim to understand, since I’ve never been important enough to a team that my forced departure could be…

Trey Burke 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/7/2015)
Trey Burke was such absolute garbage last year that it actually physically hurts me that he’s playing well this year. It’s like there’s a little part of me that exists only to throw shade on Burke, and now that the shade is being withheld, it’s letting me know by introducing stabbing pains in my chest…
Read MoreElfrid Payton 20 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2015)
There are a lot of great storylines going on right now with the Magic: -How Skiles reacts to being burdened with Tobias Harris again -Can Dewayne hit more than 20 shots over the whole season? -Mario Hezonja -How bald does Jason Smith look by the end of the season? -Do they resign Ben Gordon? -Putting…
Read MoreOtto Porter Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2015)
Attention developers of the current NBA season: Otto Porter is OP, please nerf. Whose idea was it to add such an unbalanced character to the game? A 6’9″ small forward with good athleticism and a sweet shooting stroke? Combined with his potential? He makes so many other players irrelevant, like, why even have some of…
Read MoreNik Stauskas 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/7/2015)
Nik Stauskas has been putting up some nice scoring games (by his standards) lately, this is a way better stretch than anything he did with the Kings. The casual fan might gaze slack-jawed at the boxscores and determine “Sauce Castillo is a beast hurrrrr”. An enlightened fan (like me) Looking deeper at the advanced stats…
Read MoreKent Bazemore Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2015)
Kent Bazemore has impressed me this season by, you know, actually kind of playing good sorta. Why pay DeMarre Carroll big bucks to be a roleplayer when you can have similar-ish production for a fraction of the cost? Obviously, his improved play is a result of the Hawks system, but that doesn’t mean that he…
Read MoreGary Harris 16 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2015)
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…
Read MoreOmri 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…
