The snow fell outside the window of the high-rise apartment. A dismal gray sky dulled the colors of the world. Shabazz Muhammad stared at these things and felt the loneliness grip his heart. He glanced over at his iPhone, wondering if he should call…no. He should not, could not be a dealer in false hope….

Jeremy Lamb 22 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2016)
Why does Jeremy Lamb look so sleepy all the time? His eyes are half-closed even when he’s going hard. If I walked around looking that sleepy people would ask me if I needed a nap. One has to wonder if Jeremy’s perpetual just-woke-up-after-not-enough-sleep look is effecting his league-wide value. Nobody wants a lazy oaf with…
Read MoreRichaun Holmes 17 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/4/2016)
Anyone else getting a serious Giannis Antetokounmpo vibe from this dude named Richaun Holmes? No? Well you should be. I don’t know why you aren’t. Maybe it’s because you haven’t been exposed to enough primo Rich Homie highlights? Prepare to be enlightened. We haven’t seen the ball-handling ability that Giannis possesses yet, but everything else,…
Read MoreIsh Smith 21 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (1/4/2016)
We’ve determined that Steve Nash and Ish Smith had their brains swapped, and that’s why Ish is a stud point guard now and Steve is trying to buy a soccer team. It is an empirical fact. No one can deny that nine-foot tall blue aliens with plasma guns performed the transplant while DownToBuck watched from…
Read MoreTrey Lyles 13 Points Full HIghlights (1/4/2016)
Hey! Wow! It’s Trey Lyles! I was wondering what he’d been up to. Well, I wasn’t wondering too much, because I knew: this Jared Dudley lookin’ dude had been off in the woods sucking everything he could find. And now he’s back, ready to… Score 13 points? We’ll take it, I guess. I’m sure Jazz…
Read MoreBrandon Jennings 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/4/2016)
It happened again. Same as last time. I was watching the Pistons game, you know, cause I love me some Anthony Tolliver, and Brandon Jennings checked in. My breath caught in my chest a bit, and my extremities got all tingly, but otherwise I was fine. I had prepared myself for this, and the sight…
Read MoreAnthony Morrow 20 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2016)
There must be something wrong with Anthony Morrow that I’m just not seeing. He’s getting playing time with the Thunder, yeah, unlike his last three stops with the Hawks, Mavericks, and Pelicans, but it’s not very much. Wouldn’t a dead-eye quick-release three-point bomber be the perfect compliment to Durant and Westbrook? Rather than a defense-only…
Read MoreJae Crowder Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2016)
Take a look at that thumbnail image. Just take a quick look. Done yet? Yeah. I’m intimidated now. Jae Crowder could no doubt kick my ass totally if we ever came to blows. Not like we would, because one-hundred percent of the time I would take the pussy route in any confrontation and say stuff…
