If there has been a more devastating display of midrange jumpshooting this season than what Alexis Ajinca pulled off tonight, I haven’t seen it. The Lakers either didn’t read the scouting report on this guy, or willfully chose to ignore it, or are Robert Sacre, because they were just letting him shoot those things without…

Reggie Jackson 39 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/8/2016)
I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: I thought, going into the season, that we’d be seeing a never-ending stream of Reggie Jackson to Andre Drummond lobs. Just a constant barrage of whamjams performed by Andre after the sweet dish by Reggie. Now the regular season is coming to a close,…
Read MoreDelon Wright 19 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2016)
It’s so great that Delon Wright and Norman Powell are showing out for the Raptors. Really super great. I’m so happy. Wonderful. Two rookies, struggling for most of the season, finally getting a chance to show their stuff in preparation for the playoffs. Wow. That’s what basketball’s all about, right there. But what I really…
Read MoreMarkieff Morris 29 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2016)
The Wizards have been eliminated from playoff contention. What happened? The answer is simple, really. Sometimes teams just get worse for no reason. That’s all there is to it. Stuff that worked last year doesn’t work this year, and no one can tell why. Players change their games slightly, chemistry is subtly altered, and what…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 32 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2016)
Snitches get… something. What was it again? It rhymes with snitches, I’m pretty sure, because I remember this phrase being really catchy. Snitches get… DAMMIT. They get something. There’s a reason I bought that god-damn rhyming dictionary, so where the heck is it? Google is no help here… oh yeah! Bitches! Snitches get bitches! Because…
Read MoreRobert Covington Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2016)
OFFICIAL NBA FOREHEAD WRINKLES POWER RANKINGS 1. Robert Covington 2. Uh… Devin Booker? 3. I don’t even know I just thought it would be funny to point out how expressive Robert Covington’s forehead wrinkles are and I didn’t really think this whole thing through and I just wanted people to laugh and have fun at…
Read MoreTrevor Ariza 22 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2016)
“Dear Diary, Well, the Rockets are probably going to miss the playoffs. We just lost to the Suns. How do you even do that? They suck. I guess losing to bad teams is something that happens when your own team is itself a bad team. Hopefully nobody ever reads or further disseminates my private diary…
Read MoreTyson Chandler 21 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (4/7/2016)
I recently found out about a sweet video that shows Tyson Chandler playing in some kind of high school showcase game (McDonalds All-American? Maybe?) and there’s a part where he just totally whams it on some little person. I don’t exactly feel like going back to find the link, but I would recommend going to…

Quickly Upleaping Into New Contortions, Yelling A Chilling Yell, He Ascends Supreme. Acy Never Is Calm. Earnestly Bringing Every Attached Rim Down.
Read MoreP.J. Tucker Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2016)
Wow, I didn’t realize how bad P.J. Tucker is at scoring (cue Suns fans crying into their whiskey). At 8.8 per 36, he’s worse at putting the ball in the hole than basically (correction: literally) everybody who gets big minutes. He’s worse than Justise Winslow. He’s not worse than Tayshaun Prince, since no rotation player…
