I feel like Pacers analyst Quinn Buckner might be losing it. He’s always been somewhat of a spastic, blustery commentator, randomly changing tack halfway through a thought, usually to insist that one or the other coach needs to take a timeout ASAP. However, he’s worringly begun to call players by the wrong name, or combine…

DeMarre Carroll 20 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2016)
What has to be the most annoying thing in the world is for your dreadlocks to pop out of their container while you’re trying to ball. Then you have to run around and try to focus on the ball and your man while hair strings are flying around your face getting in your way. THEN…

Read MoreSean Kilpatrick 23 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2016)
Sean “$ean$wag” Kilpatrick had a string of bad games before this one, shooting poorly enough from the field where I felt like I might have to modify his nickname to more accurately reflect his true nature as a basketball player. The first change would have been to drop the “$wag” from his name since he…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 22 Points/2 Flops Full Highlights (11/23/2016)
Ersan Ilyasova is one of the best charger-takers in the league. At least, he was with the Bucks. I’ve kind of lost track since then. But however good he was at setting his feet and letting people slam into him, he never crossed the fine line between that and flopping. You can argue that taking…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 22 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2016)
I’ve never seen the public opinion of a player change so quickly as when Austin Rivers put up a gritty playoff performance for the short-handed Clippers after getting his face demolished. Prior to that, his career had been a running joke since the day he got drafted and even before. Nothing but criticism on efficiency,…
Read MoreIan Clark 21 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2016)
I’m still mad about that time Ian Clark totally went off against the Bucks’s Summer League team. What the heck was that? He had already been in the NBA for a bit for the Jazz, so I knew he sucked, I knew he couldn’t shoot worth beans, and then he comes in and channels the…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram 16 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2016)
Pop quiz time! Get out your pencils, kids, and make sure they’re sharp, because this one is a real doozy! Question one: What kind of an omen is the Warriors dropping 149 points against the Lakers in Brandon Ingram’s first NBA start? A. A good omen. B. Deadly… OMENS! C. A bad omen D. An…
Read MoreEvan Fournier 25 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2016)
We live in strange times. When Evan Fournier first came on the scene for the Nuggets back in 2013, there was nothing in his game to suggest that he would, one day, be the #1 option on an NBA team. Even as his career progressed, I never thought to myself that he would at some…
Read MoreJamal Murray 23 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2016)
After a slow (really slow [absolutely glacial {pretty much DOA}]) start to his rookie season, the highlights are now coming thick and fast for Jamal Murray. 18 points, then 24 points, now 23 points. That’s a three game stretch with three performances that none of this year’s other draftees can even begin to hope for….
