Joe Johnson has been banished from Brooklyn. His overpaid face will never again grace the corridors of the Barclays center, except as a member of another team. His locker will soon be used by a D-Leaguer on a 10 day contract, and that player will not care that his is the former locker of Iso…

Mirza Teletovic 30 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2016)
Man, I wish the Bucks had pulled the trigger on some sort of deal for Mirza Teletovic. There were rumors, so this isn’t just me freaking out because the Bucks suck and Mirza keeps putting up good games. If I was the GM, I would’ve given the Suns anyone whose name wasn’t Giannis, Jabari, Khris,…
Read MoreAaron Gordon 19 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (2/25/2016)
Wow, who knew? All it took for Aaron Gordon to become the player everyone expected was to be the winner (yes?) of the best dunk contest of the modern era. That’s all! If the Magic had known that, they would have had him in the dunk-off a lot sooner. Oh well. What’s done is done,…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 14 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/25/2016)
The “Giannis Antetokounmpo at PG” experiment is back on! After a disastrous trial run two seasons ago, I never thought we’d see it again. You might remember, if you were watching that god-awful Bucks team, a few games where they’d have Giannis bring the ball up the court. He would get smothered on the dribble,…
Read MoreJabari Parker 22 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2016)
Something switched on for Jabari Parker after the All-Star break. Whether it was a moment of introspection where he realized “Damn I’m the 2nd overall pick I’d better start shooting some shots” or whether Jason Kidd sat down to think about where the Bucks went wrong and realized “Damn Jabari you’re the 2nd overall pick…
Read MoreNorris Cole 21 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/25/2016)
Norris Cole is a fine backup point guard, but I can’t discern any reason why he should be starting with Jrue Holiday’s minutes restriction now lifted. Yes, Holiday is putting up good numbers off the bench, but he would put up even BETTER numbers if he started. Not only that, but Anthony Davis deserves to…
Read MoreDerrick Favors 25 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2016)
When I was watching this game I was able to witness Derrick Favors being guarded by LaMarcus Aldridge and vice-versa. That got me thinking: is Derrick Favors not the second coming of LaMarcus Aldridge? Derrick takes a lot more of his shots close to the basket, but he has shown a jumper game that is,…
Read MoreRyan Anderson 26 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2016)
Attention white American males: there is a person that shares your skin tone and nationality who, despite him having good games in the NBA on a regular basis, you are not watching highlights of. That player? Ryan Anderson. He’s WHITE. Come on. He’s WHITE and he shoots THREES. You guys frickin’ loved Steve Novak, right?…
