Wesley Matthews has rescued his three-point shooting from the pit it was in at the start of the year, and he is now shooting an entirely respectable 36%. However, he currently belongs to the “shoots better from outside than inside the arc” club, a club whose meetings you never, ever, ever want to be invited…

Kent Bazemore 21 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2016)
When your team’s commentators start talking about how you’re “back” or how you’re “confident” after making just one or two shots, you know something has gone wrong. There’s no reason for them to say those things about a player who has been playing well. Nobody ever talks about LeBron or Durant needing “confidence”. In Kent…
Read MoreSergio Rodriguez 12 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/27/2016)
It’s been a long time since the 76ers had a true starting-quality point guard available to them. By my estimation, the last one they had was Jrue Holiday in the 2012-13 season, their last season of relative success (34 wins!). Since then, they’ve rolled out Michael Carter-Williams, Ish Smith, T.J. McConnell, and now Sergio Rodriguez….
Read MoreP.J. Tucker 21 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2016)
Are Suns fans tired of P.J. Tucker yet? He’s old and he doesn’t score points, both of which are annoying traits, but he’s also no longer the starter and he must have some value as a defensive specialist. He’s been a consistent part of the Suns’ losing efforts for the past few years, but he…
Read MoreClint Capela Career High 21 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (11/27/2016)
Clint Capela smiled as he talked into the phone. “Hey Dwight. I’m calling again even though you told me not to.” “Dude, give it up,” Dwight said in exasperation. “You’re rid of me. I’m not on the Rockets anymore to take your minutes or whatever weird conspiracy you’ve come up with.” “Oh, I’m past all…
Read MoreEric Gordon 26 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/27/2016)
Eric Gordon, at 28 years old, should be in his prime right now. That age is usually when players have their primes. But the stats clearly indicate that Gordon is not in his prime right now, and that his prime was actually in his early twenties. The reason for this premature prime? Injuries. Most people…
Read MoreSean Kilpatrick 22 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2016)
The Nets were surprising me for a little bit there at the beginning of the season, not being as horrifically bad as I had anticipated. It almost seemed like their mismatched collection of castoffs was… good? Or not bad? I wanted to believe. Too bad, turns out they really just suck after all. They still…
Read MoreWilson Chandler 25 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2016)
If the Nuggets are really committed to having Wilson Chandler win the Sixth Man of the Year award, they need to stop starting him right now. RIGHT NOW. I don’t know how many starts you can have and still be eligible, but it can’t be very many, and the Nuggets don’t seem to care. Here’s…
Read MoreGlenn Robinson III 17 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2016)
I officially retract all the bad things I said about Glenn Robinson III in my last video of him. Really officially. I even got a notarized document saying that I am sorry about all the bad things I typed out and how he is actually a good player and that I legally haven’t had any…
Read MoreJohn Henson 20 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2016)
The center rotation for the Bucks is all sorts of messed up right now. They paid big bucks to Greg Monroe so they could bench him while playing him 15 minutes a game. They paid big bucks to Miles Plumlee so he could fail to accumulate any stats while starting. They paid big bucks to…
