Otto Porter Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2015)

Otto Porter is slowly becoming the kind of player many thought he could be. Perfect timing, too, just as the Wizards are falling apart around him. John Wall’s jumper is busted, Bradley Beal’s legs are busted, Garrett Temple has never been not busted, Nene is dead, Ryan Hollins, Marcin Gortat is old, and Jared Dudley,…

Ersan Ilyasova 20 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2015)

I haven’t been watching the Pistons a whole heck of a lot lately. Brings back memories that I don’t want brought back, you know? I’d prefer to just pretend that Ersan Ilyasova just doesn’t exist. So if someone could tell me how the whole “replicate Dwight’s Magic by surrounding Andre Drummond with a bunch of…

Ian Mahinmi 18 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2015)

I’ve got a new meaning for the acronym ESPN: Extra Stupid People Notshowingreplays. Ian Mahinmi has three monster whams in this game. He is basically just whapping it all over folks with no regard for human, animal, plant, or alien life. I jumped out of my chair for each one. These are mega crushers. That…

Patty Mills 22 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2015)

Tim Duncan sat patiently in the waiting room of San Antonio Paraphilia Rehabilitation. It had been five months since he had taken Patty to this place, but he remembered every detail like it was yesterday. The struggle, the vile words, those things had not bothered Tim too much. But when Patty had been strapped to…

Nikola Jokic 19 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2015)

Nikola “Jock Itch” Jokic: is he really a 44% three-point shooter? Well, he is for now, because he’s 4-of-9 on the season, but that’s not the question. Actually, it is the question, but that’s because I worded it badly. The real question: can Jock Itch sustain 40% from behind the arc or is it a…

Frank Kaminsky 15 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2015)

Frank Kaminsky was getting ready for the game against the Grizzlies, when he noticed a slouched, white-bearded figure in the corner of the locker room, beckoning him. He wondered how he had noticed the man before; the mass of blankets covering him as he sat in a rocking-chair were out of place amongst the athletic…

C.J. McCollum 26 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2015)

Remember way back last year, when Ray McCallum was outperforming C.J. McCollum? Damn. How much things can change in a single offseason; Ray is now on a team that is so good that he doesn’t ever get to play, and C.J. is now on a team so bad that he has become a nightly offensive…

Tyreke Evans 27 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/11/2015)

Tyreke Evans was the man who robbed Stephen Curry of his rightful Rookie of the Year award. The voters were too blinded by his raw stats to even notice a burgeoning beast in Golden State. This mistake can not be rectified; Tyreke’s name will forever be etched in the runestone of ROY winners, immutable. There…

Kelly Olynyk 28 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2015)

That’s it. No one is ever going to beat the Warriors. Not ever. If Kelly Olynyk scoring an improbable 28 isn’t enough to get the job done, what will? The answer is nothing. Nothing except for Kelly Olynyk scoring 30, or even 32. That might do it, depending on the situation. Another basket for him…

Jahlil Okafor 22 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2015)

Things must be getting frustrating for Jahlil Okafor. Coming off a very successful high-school and college career only to be trapped on the worst team in the league/worst team ever? Even the most even-tempered players would get annoyed with the amount of non-winning that is going on in Philly. Not to mention one of the…
