Norris Cole slept soundly in his bed. So deep was his sleep that even a clumsy, noisy intruder invading his bedroom did not cause him to stir… Iman Shumpert furtively shined a dim flashlight at Norris’ head. When the beam of light caught Norris’ hair, Iman sighed with a mixture of pleasure and frustration and…

Nikola Vucevic 28 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/28/2015)
Nikola Vucevic is one of those players whose true shooting percentage is basically the same as their “real” shooting percentage. That’s because he doesn’t really shoot free throws and he really really doesn’t shoot threes. Apparently he is now an elite passing big, but that doesn’t count towards your true shooting percentage. It should, though,…
Read MoreTony Snell 22 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2015)
Tony Snell is why I have to stopped getting hyped about Summer League performances. I KNOW that they mean nothing, that any player with a smidgen of NBA talent can look really good, but I can’t help myself. I want to believe, I want players to be good, I want them to be good RIGHT…
Read MoreOmri Casspi Career High 36 Points/9 Threes Full Highlights (12/28/2015)
Omri Casspi reclined on his couch, tablet in hand, watching some trashy rom-com on Netflix, joined only by an empty carton that once contained General Tso’s chicken. He didn’t particularly care about the plot of the movie; there was a chick, there was a dude, and maybe, if he was lucky, they’d screw at the…
Read MoreRichaun Holmes 18 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/28/2015)
You have been fooled again. One would think that people would have learned their lesson, that those burned once would be leery of being burned twice. It is perhaps even worse this time. When I purported to make highlights of Richaun Holmes scoring 11, it was at least within the realm of possibility that he…
Read MoreT.J. Warren 23 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2015)
T.J. Warren: the new Khris Middleton? I’m just talking out of my butt here. I have no idea. Maybe? I’m making the comparison because they both have flat-looking jumpers. T.J. is the more natural scorer, I think. At least he was supposed to be, out of college. He needs to work on his already much-improved…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 17 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2015)
Every time I watch Boban Marjanovic play it just blows my mind how much of him there is. Every aspect of him is huge. In a league where giants are the norm, he makes everyone he plays against look like a point guard. It’s insane. And when he went to give some dap to Kawhi…
Read MoreWayne Ellington 26 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/28/2015)
Wayne “Beefy W” Ellington has not been as advertised with the Brooklyn Nets. Not really a surprise; he’s not that good of a player even on his best days and in a perfect situation. The Nets had the right idea getting a 3-point chucking guard for cheap, but in their endless quagmire of suckiness, it…
