Hollis Thompson 19 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2016)

Hollis Thompson AKA Alcohollis AKA All Hollis Breaking Loose AKA Hlay is the only player on the 76ers who has seen the tanking project progress from its humble beginnings to where it is now, which isn’t very far away from its initial humble beginnings. That’s right: out of 23 players who suited up for the…

Gorgui Dieng 21 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2016)

“Dear diary, Today my teammates played a very cruel trick on me. We were in the locker room after we lost to the Raptors. I had personally done well in the game, so my teammates had all gathered around me, telling me about how I had made Jonas Valanciunas look foolish trying to defend me….

Reggie Bullock Career High 16 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2016)

For the first time this season, Reggie Bullock stepped out onto the court and looked like an NBA player while doing it. His previous season high was three, his next highest game was two, and then it’s zeros from there on out. We know from his time in Clipperland that he can be an okay…

Josh Richardson 15 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2016)

When Josh Richardson scored eight points near the beginning of the season, I declined to make a highlight video for him, believing that if he could so easily score eight in an NBA game, he would quickly surpass that total. Then, months passed with Richardson either getting DNP’s or failing to produce in the minutes…

Channing Frye 15 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2016)

“Come on guys, do I really have to do this?” Channing asked, looking at the entrance to the McDonald’s with trepidation. “We haze all the new players,” LeBron reiterated. “Trust us, we’re going easy on you. You should have seen what we made Timofey do when he got here.” “It was no big problem, drinking…

Jordan Clarkson 28 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (2/24/2016)

Before I can anoint Jordan Clarkson future king of LA, I need to find out if he plays defense. His skills at scoring the ball are no longer in question. Since he no longer plays at the point guard position, he skills at distributing the ball are no longer relevant. But defense is always relevant….

Kyle O’Quinn 19 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2016)

Kyle O’Quinn is one of those players whose signing will either be a total steal or a total ripoff. An underutilized player in Orlando with intriguing attributes and advanced stats, The Irish Black Santa would either thrive when put into a new situation or just keep doing what he was doing before while getting four…

Kristaps Porzingis 22 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2016)

Take a close look, because this is what the Knicks could have looked like had Carmelo Anthony bolted to Chicago. That’s right: it looks like Kyle O’Quinn scoring 19 and Kristaps Porzingis scoring 22 while Jimmer Fredette claps enthusiastically after every made shot. You can’t wholly remove Melo from tonight’s game; he did shoot it…

Tobias Harris 22 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2016)

Tobias Harris: big enough to bogart some people? According to the Pistons’ commentators, yes. I don’t know about Detroit, but around in my neck of the woods, “bogart” has one definition and one definition only: to hog the weed. That’s it. There are no other definitions. From the context of the quote, I can imagine…

Matt Barnes 25 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2016)

Attention sensationalist media outlets: Thanks to your efforts, the whole world knows about how Matt Barnes and Derek Fisher got into a brawl over some stretched-out poon. One of the year’s most compelling stories brought to light thanks to your tireless dedication to trashy tabloid-esque garbage. Enough formalities. It is time for business. I (DownToBuck)…
