Jordan Hill had 20 points and 6 blocks tonight, pretty good numbers for a guy who hasn’t been blocking shots with any sort of regularity this season or scoring all that many points. However, if you just pretend that all three of the Hills that are on the Pacers were actually just one person, his…

Brook Lopez 33 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2016)
Brook Lopez, snubbed again for the All-Star game. This keeps happening, repeatedly, over and over again, even though he is one of the top centers in the league. The Nets may be in a big market, but it is not helping; they have been a joke for almost the entire duration of Brook’s tenure with…
Read MoreBrandon Jennings 22 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2016)
The time has come to find a new team for Brandon Jennings. The Pistons, it seems, are content to have Reggie Jackson be their PG of the future, and if Brandon stays, he faces a career of languishing on the bench. That cannot be allowed to transpire. With the trade deadline coming up, I’ve figured…
Read MoreEnes 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…
Read MoreBrook 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…
Read MoreMichael 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…
Read MoreMarvin 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…
Read MoreAustin 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…
Read MoreLance 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…
Read MoreAllen 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)…
