Andre Roberson Career High 15 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (12/23/2015)

Andre Roberson is what some among us call a “defensive specialist”. Which means that it’s not surprising that the 15 points he scored against the Lakers represent a high-water mark for his career. Looking at his usual scoring output, this is a veritable scoring bonanza. Just by way of comparison, you should be as hyped…

Garrett Temple 20 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2015)

This is the third straight twenty-point game for one Garrett Temple, who, prior to this streak, had never scored twenty points in the NBA except during shootaround. Are we sure that Temple hasn’t stolen the basketball talents of teammate Otto Porter ala the Monstars? Think about it. It makes sense. When was the last time…

Jabari Parker 16 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (12/23/2015)

Why can’t the Bucks play the 76ers all the time? I’m serious right now. There’s nothing in the rule book that says the league can’t schedule the full 82-game slate to be played between two teams and only those two teams. It’s not illegal as far as I know. The only thing that’s stopping this…

Giannis Antetokounmpo 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/23/2015)

“Khris, you gotta go with me to smoothie store in mall, it’s so good,” Giannis said excitedly. “My head almost blow up when I tasted for the first time.” Khris Middleton looked amused at Giannis’ childlike enthusiasm. “I don’t know, man. Are they better than the ones I make at home?” Giannis’ eyes nearly flew…

Andre Drummond 25 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2015)

In the category of “this could be a record”, Andre Drummond took eighteen free throws last night, and none of them were the result of shooting fouls. One set was from a personal foul, one set was from an “inbounds” foul (what do these weird terms mean anyway? idk) and seven sets were from personal…

Ronnie Price Career High 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/23/2015)

When Ronnie Price was having some good games last year for the Lakers I was like “Nuh-uh. He’s dead. He’s been dead for a long time and zombies can’t play basketball.” Then the season ended and I breathed a sigh of relief, because I knew that it was almost certainly the last season in the…

Bojan Bogdanovic 17 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/23/2015)

“Dear Father, My need grows more urgent by the day. The hair on my head abandons me like a deserter abandons his post. Meanwhile, you are able to maintain a full head of beautiful thick hair even in your advanced age. Since we know that baldness is a trait that is passed from father to…

Darren Collison 24 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2015)

Strap your butts in, everybody. DTB highlight making rationale coming through. Darren Collison had five assists in this game, which is right on the border for whether I show them or not. For a PG it’s a little low, but I can be swayed if it’s a lower-profile dude, a category that Collison might or…

Thaddeus Young 29 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2015)

Thaddeus Young scoring 29 points may not seem like a very exciting performance to you. You ignorant pleb. Let me show you the numerous errors in the labored and excruciatingly slow process you call “thinking”. Firstly, the Mad Thadder hit 14 shots to get his 29 points, including a single (clutch) triple, while missing all…

J.J. Barea Career High 32 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (12/23/2015)

J.J. Barea awoke to the blare of the hotel room alarm clock. He groggily opened his eyes, his head pounding from the night of hard partying he had just experienced. Despite the annoying alarm’s best efforts, it could not remove Barea’s memories of beautiful ladies and plentiful booze at one of New York’s most exclusive…
