It’s finally happening! Rashad Vaughn is receiving big minutes, and he’s making the best of them by… actually he’s kinda sucking. Still. That’s what he’s been doing the whole season, and this sudden increase in playing time only means a corresponding increase in bricked shots. It hasn’t been the kind of rookie season I hoped…

Giannis Antetokounmpo 27 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/8/2016)
John Henson paused his video game and looked up at his friend, who had just re-entered the apartment. “Ladies’ man Giannis is back!” Giannis set his empty smoothie bottles on the kitchen counter. “I’m back,” he confirmed. “So. Did you bang her?” Giannis shook his head. “I wish you not say crass thing about Rachel.”…
Read MoreWayne Ellington 21 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2016)
I hope you all brought your WAYNECOATS!!!!!! HAHAHAHA! Get it? Because Wayne Ellington made a bunch of threes? And you need a raincoat because of how wet his jumpers were? Waynecoat! It’s like a raincoat but instead of “rain” I put in “Wayne” because that’s his name! Come on guys, it’s funny. It’s a pun!…
Read MoreChris McCullough 12 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2016)
Nostrabuckus strikes again! Chris McCullough scored ten points just a few days ago and I wrote the following prophetic words: “If he can just knock down a few of the shots he’s currently missing, he’ll easily score more than ten, and this video will officially enter the dreaded “zone of obsolescence” where view counts are…
Read MoreJaKarr Sampson 16 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2016)
JaKarr Sampson being the starting small forward for the Nuggets is almost as weird as him being the starting small forward for much of his tenure with the Sixers. Scratch that, it’s actually way weirder: the Sixers were and are garbage so it makes sense that they would have to start somebody like JaKarr. The…
Read MorePablo Prigioni 13 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/8/2016)
Fun fact: Pablo “Pepperoni” Prigioni had, prior to this game, made only five free throws over the whole season. His unwillingness to draw contact is understandable; he is, after all, a very old person in NBA terms (38 years old), plus he’s a Euro from South America which automatically makes him soft. There’s no way…
Read MoreCole Aldrich 21 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2016)
The last time Cole Aldrich started a game for the Clippers, he was playing with Chris Paul and it was a dunk festival (colloquially known as a “dunkfest”). I say “last time” loosely because I’m looking at his game log and it turns out he started a game in late March. Forget about the game….
Read MoreNikola Vucevic 29 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2016)
So I guess the Dewayne Dedmon era in Orlando is officially over? After recently starting a bunch of games for the Magic, Dedmon just got a DNP-CD in this one. The Vucevic era, meanwhile, is back in full effect, so instead of taking twenty shots off the bench, Vucci Mane now gets to take twenty…
Read MoreJustin Anderson Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2016)
Career highs for rookies are something I always approve of. Even better if it happens in a game where everybody involved is actually trying to compete, such as a game between two playoff teams fighting for position. That’s like the best possible scenario for a rookie to score a career high other than dropping fifty…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 21 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2016)
“Jusuf, stick out your hand.” Jusuf Nurkic looked over to see Tim Duncan addressing him. He was a bit surprised that an NBA legend was talking to him so directly during the pregame shootaround, but tried not to show it. “Why?” “Just do it. You’ll see,” Tim Duncan said firmly, his characteristic wide-eyed stare making…
