I will admit it: I don’t know much about Axel Toupane at all. I know he’s from France, and I know that my new nickname for him is “Toupac”. Those are the only two things I know. Everything else about him is a mystery. Oh! There’s one more thing. I saw him airball a three-pointer….

Marcelo Huertas 13 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/10/2016)
Marcelo “Hurt Ass” Huertas has been playing pretty good the last few weeks. There’s just one question: does he play with savvy, or does he play with hustle? One’s play style cannot incorporate both savvy and hustle. It has to be one or the other, or neither in the case of Andrew Bynum. Huertas is…

CHANNING FRYE vs KEVIN LOVE? Who ya got? Let’s take a look at the factual facts: Injury status: Kevin Love had a “knee contusion” and missed this game. Channing Frye had no such contusions.

Read MoreJon Leuer 19 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2016)
What sort of sick, unfeeling universe do we live in where a replay of Jon Leuer dunking all over Nikola Jokic, so that we might be able to relive the poster party, isn’t even provided? There have been many epistemological arguments for the non-existence of a god. This might be the most conclusive. A hypothetical…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 18 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2016)
Nikola Jokic receives treatment I don’t give to any other player. Let’s say Emmanuel Mudiay gets 4 or 5 assists, like he did tonight. Do I show them? Forget about it. I’m not in the business of wasting people’s time with a few cruddy dimes interspersed throughout otherwise primo scoring highlights. Magic Jokson, on the…
Read MoreEmmanuel Mudiay Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2016)
All those haters who said that Emmanuel Mudiay sucks are sure looking stupid right now, aren’t they? Claiming that he was a bust, that he can’t shoot, that advanced stats showed him to be the worst player in the league, that he’s actually 6 years older than his birth certificate states because record-keeping in the…
Read MoreDevin Booker Career High 35 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2016)
Damn. This has passed from ridiculous territory straight into the realm of BANANAS. SO MANY BANANAS. DEVIN BOOKER IS BANANAS. Here’s a scenario: let’s say that he keeps scoring 30-plus for the rest of the year. The whole rest of the year. Every game, Devin Booker scores 30 or more. A few 40-pointers in there…
Read MoreJustin Holiday 12 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2016)
Imagine my confusion when I found out that Justin Holiday was no longer on the Hawks. I knew he wasn’t on the Warriors anymore, but it had escaped my notice that somehow he had ended up in Chicago. The information was probably in my head for at least a few seconds when I initially learned…
