Enes Kanter 22 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2016)

“Re: Photoshop Help Hey Enes, Saw your email yesterday so I went right to work putting you in those pictures of the Thunder dancers. Man those girls are hot! LOL I know you only like Jesseca but still. Can you hook me up??? LOL!!! :DDDD Anyway I attached the final copies let me know what…

Brook Lopez 28 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2016)

Quick thought experiment: how many wins would the Nets have if Brook Lopez had re-broken his fragile little feetsies on the opening tip of the first game of the season? This is assuming that they just roll with the opening-day roster and make no attempt to acquire a replacement big. Keep in mind that both…

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist 13 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2016)

I was getting all ready to resume my mockery of Michael Kidd-Gilchrist’s jumpshot form as soon as he came back from injury. I had like two whole paragraphs of material written where I basically just rip him and his ugly elbows-every-which-way jumper a new one. Well, now he’s officially back from injury, and he did…

Marvin Williams 20 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2015)

Remember when Marvin Williams was viewed as a downgrade from Josh McRoberts? Now, McRoberts is buried on the Heat bench and is riddled with enough injuries to grant him admittance to a nursing home, while Marvelous Marvin has got a cushy starter’s job and as minimal a role in the offense as he wants. Batum…

Austin Rivers 17 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2016)

You can say all the mean things about Austin Rivers that you want (there are a lot of them, and I myself have said quite a few of them), but at least he doesn’t punch out equipment managers, unlike a certain other unnamed Clipper whose name rhymes with rake. Or, if he does punch out…

Lance Stephenson 16 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2016)

“Well, coach, I think we both know why I asked to meet with you today,” Lance Stephenson said as he sat down across the desk from Doc Rivers. Doc sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers, a gesture familiar to Lance. “I think we both do. But go ahead and explain…

Allen Crabbe 20 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2016)

Not to sound too negative here, and I’m sure Portland fans will disagree (frickin hipsters), but this current iteration of the Trailblazers looks like all the worst parts of various semi-recent Bucks teams all smashed together: Damian Lillard = Brandon Jennings (chucker) C.J. McCollum = Michael Redd (chucker) Allen Crabbe = Khris Middleton (actually good)…

Zach LaVine 19 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/29/2016)

Sorry for the amount of replays shown in this video. I don’t normally show this many, because lots of the time replays are used as filler to pad out a broadcast, and thus depict substandard plays unworthy of being replayed, but this time they were all justified. Zach LaVine pretty much did highlight-worthy stuff the…

Karl-Anthony Towns Career High 32 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2016)

Attention Timberwolves commentators: please stop calling Karl-Anthony Towns “KAT”. Just stop. On a team that can be called the “Wolves”, there is no place for cats. Too much incongruity. Attention Timberwolves commentators whose names are Jim Petersen: please stop talking about advanced basketball stuff including but not limited to: what plays the Timberwolves are running,…

Jordan McRae 12 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (1/29/2016)

It’s time for dudes on 10-day contracts! First some rando named Bryce Dejean-Jones, now some rando named Jordan McRae. I love these type of players, because if they do anything at all on the court, that means they have exceeded expectations. Where do teams find these guys? They’re way more fun than some stodgy old…
