The list of adjectives allowed for use in describing Bojan Bogdanovic has received a new entry: choker. This new adjective joins words such as “White”, “Croatian or Bosnian”, “Balding”, and “Pasty”. The adjective list doesn’t get expanded without good reason, and in this case, we have a very good reason: Bojangles was given three free…

Gary Harris 21 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (3/4/2016)
Gary Harris has been having plenty of good games as of late, but I have to admit that I haven’t been as #hypedforgaryharris as I should be. Shamefully, I have not made even one tweet in the past month that uses my expertly-devised hashtag phrase to indicate that my hype for Gary Harris is still…
Read MoreIsh Smith 26 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2016)
Since joining the 76ers, Ish Smith has been one of the premiere point guard chuckers in the league. He is lagging behind only known scoring machines like Curry (duh), Lillard, Westbrook, and Irving. Meanwhile, he’s about neck-and-neck with chuckmaster supreme Derrick Rose. One of these things is not like the other. Hint: Ish Smith is…
Read MoreEvan Turner 21 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2016)
Evan Turner smiled at the little girl who was the next in line to get his autograph. “Hi little lady. What’s your name?” Evan asked. “Sammy!” The girl announced proudly. Evan prepared his pen to write the customary “To Sammy, -Evan Turner” on the glossy poster of his own face, but before the sharpie could…
Read MoreElfrid Payton 19 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (3/4/2016)
Is it just me or is Elfrid Payton’s hairnado looking slightly less tornadic lately? I remember it expanding to monstrous proportions, but now it almost looks like a normal hairstyle that normal non-alien humans would willingly sculpt on their heads. Did he just walk into the barber shop and say “hey barber could you take…
Read MoreRobert Covington 25 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2016)
I want to see Robert “English Nobility” Covington play in a good situation. That’s what I want to see. Right now he is probably a bottom-five starting SF in the league (Alonzo Gee is definitely worse at least), but that’s more due to the garbage that surrounds him than due to any fault of his…
Read MoreLance Stephenson 16 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2016)
I hope you like layups. This video has a lot of layups. At least they’re the good kind of layups. The kind where Lance Stephenson bullies his way in from the perimeter for an improbable finish. The kind where he gets so hyped up because he got a bucket that he has to push people…
Read MoreMarkel Brown 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/4/2016)
I was all set to write off Markel Brown in the NBA after his DNP-laden start to the year. When a second-year player can’t get minutes on one of the worst teams in the league, that’s when you start writing their epitaph. In this case, his epitaph was going to be “R.I.P. in peace Markel,…
Read MoreEmmanuel Mudiay 25 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/4/2016)
Emmanuel Mudiay has achieved what many players fail to for their entire career: the fabled “two actually good games in a row”. Not just two okay games, or a good game followed by an okay game, or two good games separated by a bad game, or just a whole big streak of bad games, but…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 31 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2016)
I don’t feel like doing any research, so someone who is smarter than me can tell me that I’m being a dumbass. But why is calling Nicolas Batum a “Frenchman” totally okay while if someone called Jeremy Lin a “Chinaman” everyone would flip out? There must be some derogatory connotations included with the second one…
