When I saw how many field goals Andre Drummond had tonight, and the bigman rotation of the team he was facing, I admit, I was ready for a little mini-dunkilation right here for this video. 14 dunks with 2 free throws for completion’s sake. How were the Magic going to stop him from just dunking…

Nikola Mirotic Career High 35 Points/9 Threes Full Highlights (3/23/2016)
From now on, every time a European comments on one of my vids crowing about how so-and-so Euro player could be really good in the NBA, I’m going to think about all the things everybody said about Nikola Mirotic and laugh heartily. It’s official: because Nikola Mirotic was some sort of Euro MVP thing, and…
Read MoreElfrid Payton Triple Double 20 Pts/10 Asts/10 Rebs Full Highlights (3/23/2016)
I don’t know why the Orlando Magic aren’t better. They had all the pieces to be at least an 8th-seed type of team, and they can’t even manage that. It’s been this way for years, since a little after Dwight left; a core of young talent seemingly ready to bust out, only to miss the…

Here are some notable stats on potential game-winning or game-tying shots in the last 10 seconds for the 2015-16 season, presented for illuminatory purposes: -LeBron James: 1 for 14 -Carmelo Anthony: 1 for 16 -James Harden: 2 for 12 -Kobe Bryant: 0 for 432 -Stephen Curry: 3 for 33 -Damian Lillard: 5 for 9 -Emmanuel…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 19 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2016)
It’s been a while since we’ve experienced a good amount of Boban Marjanovic action, but things seem to be the same with him as they always were. He still makes opposing defenders look like children. He still can score in a surprising variety of ways. His ears are still large. And the Spurs’ announcers still…
Read MoreZach LaVine 23 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2016)
Good news, Timberwolves fans! Your young and talented big three all had good games in a winning effort! Zach LaVine dunking, Andrew Wiggins scoring, and Karl-Anthony Towns playing point-center. The future is looking bright indeed. But how much brighter would it look if you traded Ricky Rubio for MCW and Greivis Vasquez? A whole heck…
Read MoreKarl-Anthony Towns 26 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (3/23/2016)
Next phase of evolution for Karl-Anthony Towns: point-center? Actually, let me rephrase that. Next phase of evolution for Karl-Anthony Towns: point-center. There we go. There is no question mark here. It is a statement of fact. If it worked for Giannis, it can work for Karl-Anthony. Remember, this is the dude who won the skills…
Read MoreJon Leuer 22 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2016)
Leuer Alcindor is quietly having a pretty good season for the not-very-good Suns. It’s a contract year for him, the cap is expanding, and there’s a market for stretch fours. If he was going to pick a time to play well, now would be a good time; he stands to get paid more dollars per…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 23 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/23/2016)
Now that we are certain of Dënniß ßchrööder’s ability to play well in the NBA, it’s time to put on your thinking caps: how badly would Dënniß the Mënacë dominate the German basketball league? Would he average 30 and 15? Would it be like Shavlik Randolph playing in China? Would we see similar levels of…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 16 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2016)
Austin “Worst Rookie PER Ever” Rivers is no longer in the running for the “worst player in the league” award, but he is definitely still in the running for the “player who gets minutes because of his famous last name” award. Trust me, these awards exist and I give them out every year. If you…
