Nik Stauskas 15 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2015)

Good news everybody! It turns out that we can continue using my carefully crafted “nikname” for Nik Stauskas: “Nik Sucksass”! I was a little hasty in judging the nickname to not be applicable to Nik anymore. That little run of good games that he had got me too excited, thinking that he would become a…

D’Angelo Russell 17 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2015)

D’Angelo Russell: biggest bust ever? Lakers fans will have you think so. Don’t listen to them. They’re just mad that they missed out on Karl-Anthony Towns. I’d be mad too. If we’re being honest, our minds unclouded from the scepter of rage, D’Angelo is, objectively, only the fourth or fifth biggest bust ever. Kind of…

Mirza Teletovic 15 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2015)

Another day, another case of a player who I definitely thought had turned the corner on their career. Mirza Teletovic looked good two years ago with the Nets, I thought. I know last year wasn’t his best, but man, if I had blood clots in my lung, you know what I would be doing? Crying…

Emmanuel Mudiay 26 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2015)

It’s early in the season. I’m aware of that. That doesn’t mean that the sample sizes we have seen so far are totally worthless. There are things we can take note of, and analyze. Like Emmanuel Mudiay’s garbage shooting percentage. Before tonight’s game, which will bump it up a fair amount, he was shooting barely…

Karl-Anthony Towns 18 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2015)

With each game that passes, Karl Anthony-Towns looks more and more likely to win Rookie of the Year. Who else is even in consideration? Kristaps? That’s about it, unless you think that Justise Winslow’s defense is enough to propel him to victory. Here’s a hint: it’s not, because ROY is about counting stats and counting…

Stanley Johnson 15 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2015)

Stanley “Manly” Johnson was touted by Pistons fans as being an NBA-ready starting-material small forward. Has he lived up to the hype? I’d say yes. Yeah, he may not actually be starting, but anyone who knows anything knows that only the elitest of rookie prospects are able to handle that task right away. Pistons fans,…

Jae Crowder 19 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2015)

What’s up with the Boston video people and showing random shots of happy fans after a made Celtics basket? It’s weird. I don’t even especially care for close up face shots of the players themselves, and this surpasses that, going into straight-up voyeuristic territory. When I go to a sporting event, I want total certainty…

Jabari Parker 14 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2015)

Did anybody else freak out a little bit when Jabari started screaming while coming down from that dunk? I don’t want to lie to you guys, I almost started crying in the immediate aftermath. Then he got up and was running around like normal, but I was still a little bit shaken and I couldn’t…

Giannis Antetokounmpo Career High 33 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (11/19/2015)

When the first splash of berry-flavored smoothie landed on his tongue, Giannis didn’t know what to think. As John Henson looked on expectantly, Giannis swallowed and smacked his lips, then pondered for a little bit. “It’s tasty,” he finally said. “What flavor it is?” “Berry,” John answered. “I think it’s strawberry and blueberry, and, uh,…
