Someone must have informed 76ers commentator Marc Zumoff of the proper pronunciation of Dario Saric’s last name. Just yesterday, while Dario was scoring 21, it was “Sar-itch” this and “Sar-itch” that. Today, it’s more of a “Shar-itch”. Not as pleasing to this ignorant American, but I’m sure the other version was utterly maddening for the…

Tim Hardaway Jr. 26 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2016)
I am writing to you from the distant past, where the Cubs and Indians remain tied at 6 in the top of the 9th. By the time you read these words, you will surely know the outcome of this final and decisive game of the World Series. I, however, do not have that luxury, and…
Read MoreTim Frazier 20 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (11/1/2016)
If Tim Frazier was a muffin, what kind of muffin would he be? Let’s analyze the facts. Bran? Bran muffins are the favored muffin of old people. Everyone knows that the favored Pelican of old people is Omer Asik, not Frazier. We can conclude that he would not be a bran muffin. Lemon Poppyseed? If…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 10 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2016)
What’s up with Buddy Hield? He was my pick for Rookie of the Year, and he’s making me look like a total DUMBASS. Me and a whole bunch of other people who figured (not without reason) that a four-year college player would be able to come in and contribute from day one. I don’t care…
Read MoreMalcolm Brogdon 14 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2016)
I’ll never forget all those sweet Gus Johnson calls from various sports. He certainly is one of the most recognizable sports commentators, able to inject excitement into the mundane and insanity into the already exciting. With that said, I kind of wish he’d chill out a bit while commentating for the Bucks. We in Wisconsin…
Read MoreHollis Thompson 22 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2016)
Another year, another dismal Sixers squad for “Alcohollis” Thompson. True, this year’s squad is considerably less dismal than years past, but Alcohollis still isn’t going to get to experience many wins. He’ll continue to shoot in the upper-30’s on threes, he’ll continue to not really have any in-between game, and he’ll continue to continually have…
Read MoreIan Clark Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2016)
Being around extremely talented shooters like Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Klay Thompson (LOL [lots of laughs]) has certainly rubbed off on guys like Ian Clark. When he played for the Jazz, he didn’t have that same caliber of shooter around him (Trey Burke waves from his new home on the bench in D.C.), and…
Read MoreJake Layman 17 Points/5 Threes Blazers Debut Full Highlights (11/1/2016)
Jake Layman snuck towards the visitor’s locker room after the game. It was actually pretty easy to avoid security personnel if you knew all the back ways and unused corridors. In no time at all, he was there; he entered brazenly, not caring which Warriors player saw him. The target of Jake’s quest was facing…
Read MoreSergio Rodriguez 12 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (11/1/2016)
All this good stuff being done by Sergio Rodriguez is reminding of when T.J. McConnell burst onto the scene last year for the 76ers. Except, you know, what Sergio is doing isn’t a fluke like what T.J. was doing. Otherwise, very similar, in that they both made the 76ers look like a passable offensive team…
Read MoreKris Dunn 10 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/1/2016)
Ricky Rubio going down is good for fans of youth movements, but maybe not so good for fans of winning basketball. I hold the opinion that Rubio was responsible for a significant part of Karl-Anthony Town’s ROY campaign, and that without him, he along with the rest of the Timberwolves will devolve into a dreary…
