When it’s the playoffs and you’re the Thunder and your leading scorer’s last name isn’t “Durant” or “Westbrook”, you know you screwed up. The entire point of having superstars is so that they can take over in the playoffs. The point of having two superstars is so that one can take over extra hard if…

Danny Green 18 Points Full Highlights (4/30/2016)
Was Danny Green just playing with us when he sucked at shooting threes for the entire season? He shot 33% during the regular season, which is a jarring departure from his customary 40-ish percent, then the playoffs come around and, bam, he’s shooting above fifty percent like it’s no big deal. Was it all a…
Read MoreMyles Turner 15 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (4/29/2016)
One of my favorite things to do on the internet (other than make highlight videos) is to go on Raptors message boards after they lose a game. The funness factor of that activity gets multiplied by like a hundred if the game in question is a playoff game. and it gets multiplied by a bajillion…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 21 Points/8 Assists/1 Injury Full Highlights (4/29/2016)
“Daddy! I’m bleeding!” Austin Rivers wailed, clutching his face. “DADDY!!!!” But Doc Rivers sat impassively on the bench, not indicating in any way that he had heard his son’s cries. As trainers hustled over to where Austin lay, he remained in his seat. “Daddy?” Austin said hopefully as he saw a pair of feet walking…
Read MoreC.J. McCollum 27 Points Full Highlights (4/27/2016)
Canning Jumpers, McCollum Contributes Clippers’ Only Losses. Los Angeles Uses Many Has-beens And Scrubs, And Losses Result Endlessly. Always Disappointing. Yet, People Endure A Kinda Epic Disappointment.
Read MoreShaun Livingston 16 Points Full Highlights (4/27/2016)
Stephen Curry status: EXPOSED. The Warriors are doing just fine with Shaun Livingston running the show. More than fine, in fact. They’re doing great. He doesn’t take away shots from Klay and Draymond, the real stars on the team. He’s under control and restrained at all times, unlike a certain former MVP who is reckless…
Read MoreBrandon Rush 15 Points Full Highlights (4/27/2016)
Somehow Brandon Rush is still in the league after getting injured in 2012 and then having two really bad seasons after that. I honestly thought he was done after that. Doner than done. Doner than Brandon Roy. Knee injuries are bad news and it looked like his shot was permanently borked because of it. But…
Read MoreMaurice Harkless 19 Points Full Highlights (4/27/2016)
It seems like every game now, somebody on the Blazers is overachieving. First it was Plumdog Millionaire playing like prime Bill Walton, then it was Aminu playing like prime Rashard Lewis, now it’s Moe Harkless playing like prime Moe Harkless instead of the passive version of Moe Harkless who you sometimes get. The only person…
Read MoreMike Scott 17 Points Full Highlights (4/26/2016)
You have to wonder about the mental state of a guy who covers himself in tattoos depicting various emojis. I don’t even know what emojis even ARE, except that Mike Scott decided that it would be a good idea to get representations of them permanently inscribed onto his skin. If emojis are anything like other…
Read MoreJustin Anderson 14 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (4/25/2016)
Justin Anderson is finally playing with confidence and producing for the Mavericks. How do I know? Because the commentators during this series wouldn’t shut up about how they “like how he is playing” and he “is maturing in the postseason” and “isn’t afraid of the moment” and stuff like that. I guess when an underdog…
